The actress’s old social media posts have threatened to derail the film’s Oscar campaign, but backlash has been building for months for other reasons.

Despite making history as the first openly transgender actor to be nominated for an Oscar for her role in Emilia Pérez, Karla Sofía Gascón is in hot water after some of her old bigoted tweets were resurfaced by Canadian journalist Sarah Hagi.

Karla's own Oscar win may be out of reach, but a word of advice to the actor: If you want to enjoy Oscar night and support your co-stars, stop being so defensive. The Academy is nothing if not forgiving, so try taking accountability. At this point, what do you have to lose?

Karla Sofía Gascón has been married to her wife for nearly 30 years. They met when the Oscar-nominated actor was only 19 years old.

Karla Sofía Gascón is a Spanish actress. She became the first transgender star to win the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress. She also became the first openly transgender actress to be nominated by the Academy for Best Actress. Gascón was born in Alcobendas, Spain, and decided to pursue an acting career at 16 years old.

Karla Sofía Gascón was one of three "Emilia Pérez" women to win the Critics Choice Award for best song following a series of controversial posts.

The controversial 'Emilia Pérez' star is nominated for Best Actress but her presence is expected to disrupt the ceremony.

The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that the embattled best actress Oscar nominee will no longer be flying to L.A. for any of the film's awards activities this week.

Karla Sofía Gascón is apologizing for her racist tweets. Again. Following a whirlwind week of interviews, half-apologies, and her fellow crew members condemning her, the Academy Award–nominated actress has finally pledged to keep quiet.
