New York – Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pereze” is an Oscar contender contrary to any other. It is a music, a trans paragraph and a Mexico-set melodrama, combined in a unique amalgamation by an international film production team.
And just as, it is a best picture front-raner, which sometimes seems, no one likes.
On one hand, “Emilia Perez” is one of the most famous films of the year. It won in Golden Globes, earned 11 BAFTA nominations and received 13 Academy Award nominations. Only three films, anytime, have scored more.
On the other hand, “Emilia Pereze” has been lampted for its tanwala extremes, criticized for its depiction of Mexican culture and engaged in controversy as it climbed the Oscar-Pasandida state.
A lot hinges on how to go “Emilia Pereze”. If it manages to run via backlash and go to the house of a big winner in the Oscar of March 2, it will win Netflix its first best photo. Its star, Carla Sophia Gakson, is an open trans actor nominated for the best actress. One win will be even more historical.
However, they were severely threatened after the possibilities, Gaskon’s old tweets, motivated them to issue an apology on Thursday – the latest blow in the Oscar campaign that is close to the train debris.
But how do we reach the first place here? What is “Emilia Paraze” has been so accurate and modified in similar measures?
It started in ear
When “Emilia Perez” made his debut at the Cannes Film Festival last May, the reception was mixed but usually favorable. The French Director of “A Prophet”, “Dhipan” and “Rust and Bone”, Audiard, has made the stories of change a specialty. But “Emilia Perez” is probably her courageous that is still in size-shift narratives.
Guskon as a Mexican drug Lord goes through gender-confusion surgery with the help of a lawyer (Zo Saladana). Later, she emerges to re -connect with his ex -wife with children who were played by Selena Gomez.
Narco-musical is unexpectedly adventurous-a quality that was warmly hugged by the film’s supporters. The film’s dress was shared at the Best Actress Award in Cannes, and the film won the Jury Award. Netflix reported it $ 12 million.
Oscar to become front-earner
While “Emilia Perez” was getting a promising award opportunities for their actors, it was not in the air of the Oscar heavyweight until late. Till then, Netflix, which runs aggressively for the awards, created “Emilia Perez” in an unexpected jazigar.
Working in its favor: The season of this year’s awards has been widely seen open. In addition, other multi-respectful music, “wicked”, broadwee adaptation songs, leave it on the sideline in the best song category where original tunes are required. Both “L Mal” and “Mi Camino” were nominated for the best songs from “Emilia Perez”.
It was also nominated for the Best International Film, as the presentation of France. As the Film Academy has expanded its membership in recent years, many more foreign voters have extended the Oscar to international enrolled people. French production, characterized by a Spanish-language, Hollywood stars, corresponds to the global Oscars completely rapidly.
Viewers say they say
As the possibilities of “Emilia Perez” awards expanded, the audience also started weighing. If critics are divided, the audience has been largely negative, according to some matrix. On rotten tomatoes, the film earned a passing grade from 76% reviewers, but only 19% from the audience. Netflix does not report box office figures, so “Emilia Perez” has no quantitative ticket sales in the US and Canada. The film has not been ranked too much on streaming service.
As the film saw more, some made holes. Glaad passed through “Emilia Perez” at its annual awards. LGBTQ Rights Alliance declared the film “a deep retrograde portrayal of Trans Woman” and “one step backwards for trans representation”.
Movies in Mexico were not affected likewise, raising the issue with the Spanish accent of the film, their simple treatment of drug violence in the country and some were widely described as inhumanity. Mexican comedian and actor Eagenio Darbez later called Gomez’s pronunciation “uncertain” before apologizing.
A group of Mexican filmmakers also responded with a PaBack Parody Short film, titled “Johann Saikrabloo”, “a French-inspired film was made entirely without a French actors or crew.”
Gascón’s social media post surface
In late January, journalist Sarah Hagi captured the old positions on X by Muslims, George Floid and China. After an uproar, Gaskon apologized on Thursday in a statement by Netflix.
The posts dating back by 2016 included suggestions that Islam was banned and a black man killed by a white miniPolis police officer in 2020, Floid had a drug addict, which was “ever cared for” very few people ever cared for Was”.
“As someone in a marginalized community, I know this sorrow very well and I am deeply sorry for those who have caused pain,” Ganskon said. “I have fought my whole life for a better world. I believe that light will always conquer darkness. ,
Gascón’s X account was later deactivated.
what happens next
How much damage to Oscar opportunities of “Emilia Perez” is yet to be seen. Gaskon was unlikely to win the best actress favorite Demi Moore (“The Substance”), but pundits believe that Fallout could be widespread for a film that was already a lot of ding against it.
Other films, however, have faced controversies in the way of Oscar Gaurav. The best picture winners of divisive 2019 were many inhibitors in the “Green Book”, but still won. This year, it should be a close race, even if. “Anora,” “Conclave,” “The Brutilist,” Wicked “and” a complete unknown “, unusually a large number of films, are believed to have a valid opportunity.
Oscar voting begins on 11 February. Before the Oscar in March, the ceremony by the screen actors guild should provide some clues to the producers guild and BAFTA whether “Emilia Pereze” is still a favorite.
