This was...awkward. The first trans-woman ever nominated for an Academy award in the category Best Actress, Karla Sofia Gascón, turns out to be an anti-Black/anti-Asian racist and Islamophobe.
The acting actress is still a nominee, but Netflix has removed him from the promotion campaign for the film in question, "Emilia Perez". The problem? He is the, ahem, lead actor of the movie...
Have to agree with Nolte's article. And I have seen the movie. What I enjoy here is the category of What Fucking Time Line are we on anyway? ;-}
