I really don't want to be that Brazilian, but why is Karla Sofía Gascón straight up badmouthing Fernanda? Like girl, your accomplishments are the only good part of Emilia Pérez, no one is coming for you.
MORE KARLA TWEETS HAVE HIT THE EMILIA PEREZ TOWER 😭😭😭 she said that the 2021 oscars felt like an Afro-Korean festival or a BLM demonstration, ep might be cooked guys
I didn't like Roma but it wasn't bad, just not my vibe, and still I could see how real it felt. EP is... idk man this movie shouldn't be getting the acclaim it is getting
The latest addition to the Emilia Perez discourse: director Jacques Audiard suggested that Spanish language is only spoken in poor and less advanced countries…yikes
@@nont18411 best case scenario (for the movie), it could only win 12. There's 2 songs from the movie (TWO!!!! HORRIBLE!!!! SONGS!!!!) nominated for best song.
Someone on twitter said "Hollywood is the white family from Get Out" and I couldnt agree more. If Emilia Perez wins more than one or two Oscars, especially Best Picture, its just gonna make people more distrustful of the Academy and its relevance.
Regarding Emilia Pérez's approach to transgender people, I don’t have the standing to discuss it. However, as a Latino, I was having a conversation with a Mexican friend about the film’s problematic approaches, and he shared something so pointed that it encapsulates the entire lack of sensitivity and absurdity in the film’s conception: "Imagine taking a major trauma from your country’s history-like the issue of drug trafficking and disappearance of people in my country. If you’re American, think of 9/11, for example. Now imagine turning that tragedy into a musical, where the person responsible for the atrocity undergoes an emotional transformation/sexual transition, abandons their traumatic past, and becomes a "good person," a sanctified figure. How would that make you feel?"
Likewise, I'm not Latino so I can't speak about the Mexican representation end of it, but I *am* transgender, so I can speak to that. Emilia Perez leans into so many bad tropes about trans people that I feel that it's taking a few steps backward from the positive trans rep we've been building towards and encouraging people to think that the reason why we transition is to deceive people, to wipe the slate clean, to reinvent ourselves into something we're not. She has to tragically (and let's be honest here, hilariously) die at the end, because of the bury your gays trope. She's shown to physically assault her wife, stoking fears that trans women really are aggressive and manly and therefore shouldn't play in women's sports. The list goes on and it's exhausting.
@argetlam42 They shouldn't play in women's sport. But it's nothing to do with being aggressive. It's to do with strength, bone density, and reaction times.
Add on that, today Karla Sofia accused Fernanda Torres’s team of being behind the hate towards Shitilia Perez despite Fernanda herself posting a long ass video defending her and urging people to stop the hate and didn’t even get acknowledged or thanked for it, what a complete dick honestly.And by this she also violated a rule forbidding negative tactics to single out competition so I really hope the passionate Brazilian fans force the academy to respond because it’s utterly ridiculous
@ she was never gonna get the award but even a nomination is too generous for her, stabbing someone who did nothing but support her in the back should disqualify her in my opinion but I know this will never happen
@@dana17958 Removing her would only add to the awkward messiness, though it might send a message to other actors to not do it. I assume it'll be left there but it may have hurt her chances.
@@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168 I didn't like The Substance, and I don't think that angrily smudging her make up was good acting for Demi Moore, but she has the pity vote, because she's an older actress in a movie talking about obsession with youth. Also I'm tired of the trope of actresses de-glamouring themselves to win prizes. I didn't like Anora either and the actress is very young. So I hope that either Cynthia Erivo or Fernanda Torres win the category.
She could ask ( Camila the director) for subs for they Community because English speakers deserve to enjoy this work of Art. Also the comment section of Johanne Sacreblu ist wild and hilarious
Actually Emily in Paris is not as disrespectful at list doesn’t make fun of the deaths of thousands of people. This movie is a bad soap opera mix with a South Park episode I can’t believe this movie exists. but we agree we both hate it.
Karla Sofía Gascón seems to be playing dirty. During her visit to Brazil to promote the film, she asked Fernanda Torres in an interview to help her deal with "these people"-yes, in a completely derogatory way. Torres responded with an incredibly kind video, yet Gascón didn’t like, share, or even follow Torres in return. It seems like she’s trying to create a narrative that she’s being criticized specifically by Brazilians, which is simply not true. The reality is that people all over the world dislike the film, and it has nothing to do with her gender, as she tries to suggest. It’s evident that she’s attempting to tarnish Fernanda Torres' career by digging up things from 20 or 30 years ago. Honestly, it’s a bit disgusting. At this year’s Oscars, besides rooting for my favorites, I’ll also be hoping that Emilia Pérez takes home as few awards as possible.
I’ve seen Latin America side with Mexico on this. We’re f baffled on how Mexico was portrayed. And it’s the specific portrayal of Mexico that is the problem, its triggering because it’s the global north not giving a sh about the global south
Karla Sofia gascon now just accused the Fernanda Torres campaign of stoking hatred against her specifically. And that shows the lack of character from the movie. I think she's just saying absurd shit to get flamed so she can play the victim
Exactly that. I hope people don't fall for this very obvious trick of hers. She's baiting people into starting a hate campaign against her, instead of focusing on the movie, so she can say it's a personal attack instead of valid criticism of a shitty piece of media
What I hate most about this discourse regarding Emilia Perez is that legitimate criticims of the film are getting paired up with outright bigotry. I hate EP because it treats Mexicans and trans people with such disregard but other people are hating it because 'woke' / 'DEI' or whatever brainrot term they have nowadays. It's exhausting really.
Nah, the discourse is now used by some "liberals" for the defense of the movie....but the movie was called offensive by mexicans and LGBT people way before americans entered the discussion. In no way the "actual criticism" is taken down. Defenders of this movie can't save this movie with the good 'ole "if you don't like it, you're bigot" speech.
@luchomscyfy I actually think it does NOT win Picture for this precise reason. Let us not forget that a Best Picture winner needs at least one of either Screenplay or Director to win, and the current frontrunners in these categories are ANORA for Original, CONCLAVE for Adapted, and THE BRUTALIST for Director.
@@axr7149 in an ideal world, it shouldn't win any award. Or being nominated. I think the movie is that bad: acting, songs, direction is meh, screenplay is atrocious if you know spanish..... Even if I consider Zoe Saldaña o Karla Gascón's performances "good"....are not good enough to save the script. I mean, both are good with the material they had....but it's a baffling bad movie with good performances. Best movie? Probably in some parallel universe.
I'm Mexican and everything you said about Emilia Pérez is true. Even Mexican people want to include Johanne Sacreblu on Mexican cinemas. Karla Sofía insults people every other day and now there is a video about the French director saying that Spanish is a language spoken in poor countries, like WTF?
The way this movie picture violence is offensive for Mexicans but also Colombians, Argentinians and Brazilians are speaking in TH-cam videos about how they also feel disrespected because their countries experienced that kind of violence too and Emilia Perez made a circus about it Edit: talking about disappeared families because of crime, guerrilla or dictatorships
she follows jonathan. he mentioned it in passing during (i think) his golden globe nominations reaction video. i don't think he'd mention it nowadays lol
My steaming hot take on it is I don't think she's talking about the hate the movie gets but the rise of fascism and transphobia in general. In fact I do think she does make a point in her tweet. Say what you think about the movie and her previous remarks but she has gotten a lot of transphobic hate messages during this awards season. Her follow-up tweet was literally the death threats she got in her DMs.
@ that's the hope. maybe i should take a second look at the tweets. and of course there's the language barrier the thing about "using your labels to hide your stupidity" and how you should "make your own movie" are rough tho
the fact that people found on karla's twitter problematic things about race, george floyd, covid, black lives matters, muslin, trans people and even the oscar academy... don't mess with brazil, we'll find the receipts let's go fernada!!!!!
@sideshowmob descompensados? a karla falou mentiras sobre a equipe da fernada e depois os brasileiros descobriram que ela ja foi racista, intolerante religiosa, negacionista e etc. não vejo problema nisso, ela jogou sujo e tomou um chega pra lá
@@kennedyseixas descompensados desde o começo, antes das indicações ao oscar. na época do Globo de Ouro as pessoas dos fóruns internacionais já estava com "ranço" do comportamento brasileiro. Floodando as redes sociais de vários artistas, ataques constantes, comportamento infantilóide.
@sideshowmob vai ser chato assim em outro país, deixa as pessoas comemorarem o pouco de reconhecimento que a arte brasileira recebe obviamente não me refiro a ataques ofensivos contra outras pessoas, mas tem que floodar fernada torres mesmo!
@@itsthemaggieshow why y'all justifying a parallelism between the hate SHE'S received (cuz she's made both the movie & its backlash all about herself only) and the origin of the H0locaust?
In Mexico we do not attack the actor for being trans, that issue remained in the second place, what was criticized is how a drug trafficker, in order not to pay for his crimes changes his sex and they want to say that this is redeeming himself🤦🏻♂️😈 Nobody in their right mind I would approve of something like that.
@@itsthemaggieshow Trans people get hate largely, not entirely but largely, because trans representatives are so often hateful bigots, and the political movements to which they attached themselves are actively and fundamentally hateful and bigoted. The pretense that "the trans community" is this poor innocent thing is deeply unhelpful, and there is a reason that even many prominent LGBQ organizations are deeply uncomfortable with its politics and behavior. Not INDIVIDUAL trans people, although some people are certainly broadly and hatefully anti-trans, the same way many are broadly and hatefully anti-CIS, anti-white, anti-whatever.
Johanne sacreblu may seem silly for most people,, but to us it really became a movement (there's conversations to have it screen in cinemas, so it got really serious) Camila D Aurora, the author, has a couple of tiktoks talking on the matter that are seriously sooo important to hear cus she's mexican and a trans woman We been complaining about Emilia Pérez since day 1 only to be shot down because "we don't get it" when its a deep wound in OUR society
What’s her TikTok under? Would I find it with her name? Have y’all boycotted the film in Mexico? It’s also telling that Netflix had it blocked from LatAm until very recently, and that it hadn’t had a theatrical release, until noms were super close. It feels premeditated to me. As if they knew what they were doing and trying to keep the backlash away, as far out as possible from Oscar nominations and such.
@@simplyrowenoh the movie was boycotd so hard, the cinemas airing it had next to no one attending, some cinemas you can see the amount of ocuppied setas, and at best they had like 5 people attending lol
@@simplyrowen "Cinepolis" the main movie theater chain of Mexico has a thing for "prestige films" called "Garantia Cinepolis" where they guarantee that the movie is so good that if you walk out within the first 15 minutes they give you your money back and people have been boycotting by walking out before the 15 minutes mark and the company was refusing to refunds them and they got sued by the government and were forced to refund the tickets
@@simplyrowennot hard to boycott it. It’s an extremely hard watch. I still this day have NO idea what Selena Gomez was singing in that bedroom song. It was completely slurred, there was zero enunciation
I think it's important that Fernanda apologized and told the truth about our society, it's something that still happens, until 2015 blackface was shown on open TV, the country has changed a lot and racial causes gained more and more visibility, but in 2018 I remember yellowface in a soap opera on the most important channel in the country and was not as criticized as it should have been, Fernanda speaking and admitting it caused many newspapers to write articles about it, many people tried to understand what it was, my mother and my uncle asked me to explain what blackface was because they didn't know what it was
The entire Mexican population are saying that Emilia Perez is offensive, the entire trans community are saying the same but Hollywood are gaslight to accept this shit. I am rooting for “I’m still here”
For the industry to ignore Mexicans and trans people, just speaks more on their bigotry, performative activism and smugness. Because they’re now choosing to be dense and ignore the people whom this movie is supposed to “represent”. There is such a thing as appropriating stories that aren’t yours to tell and misrepresent them in the process. Just to clarify, I do think a person like a heterosexual French man can tell minorities’ stories IF he brings consultants to the project, who represent those minorities, so the material actually honors them and treats them with respect and care. There’s a difference between appropriation and appreciation/representation. Cultural Appreciation is about honoring a culture whereas Cultural Appropriation is dishonoring or demeaning a culture. This film is demeaning to those it is supposed to represent, and Jacques didn’t handle the production with care and respect. As far as Karla Gascón gaslighting everyone and comparing this to Nazi Germany is incredibly tone deaf. She has a higher responsibility to represent her community, but she’s only representing herself and her hubris is not allowing her to see where people are coming from.
@@ikexbankai I personally don't think she has that responsibility just for being a trans woman with a platform (which is what the og comment surely meant), HOWEVER she's the one who has reduced the entire situation to HER being a TRANS WOMAN fighting against TRANSPHOBIC hatred while representing the "touching" story about the TRANS experience. She has been such a narcissist + self centered ego maniac that, after reducing the movie to a personal crusade, she ironically is getting called out for participating in a movie that misrepresented & diminished trans people
I don't know if you folk have ever noticed this, but the industry has a long history of ignoring Americans, whites, moderates, rural folk, CIS folk, and others about which it routinely makes and awards deeply racist, bigoted, misrepresentative "entertainment" made without the slightest respect or care and we all seem to be okay with that. In fact we often love it, promote it, and reward it ourselves with our money and attention, making its creators and participants rich and powerful.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think anyone needs to bring in consultants to tell stories about minorities. Do minorities need to bring in consultants when they tell stories about majorities? Do gays need consultants to tell heterosexual stories? To suggest a heterosexual French man can't tell a trans or gay story properly, without the input of someone else, suggests that a homosexual person couldn't tell a heterosexual story properly, without the input of someone else, which I also reject. That said, I haven't seen Emilia Perez, but I'm confident they got everything wrong.
Emilia Perez is like a Chinese director making a musical film about school shootings in the United States, but with Indian actors and speaking English poorly. And in the end the killers turned out to be the good guys and became saints. If you were Latino you would understand that this is an offensive film in many ways.
Comparing this season to last year's, it feels like we're in bizarro world. Like I do not remember anything close to this psychotic of an atmosphere last time
No GLAAD nomination for Emilia Perez is pretty damning, but arguably what's more damning for GLAAD is that didn't nominate I Saw The TV Glow for anything.
@@joelanthonylim6792 you know there's a great Dave Chapelle joke about the T. It used to be referred as LGB, the T if anything is making the drive take a lot longer.
@@joelanthonylim6792 Because many in the LGBQ community don't believe the T should be part of it, that the T has hijacked the LGBQ movement, and that the hate and bigotry flowing from those "representing" the T and its exploitation by so-called Progressives has derailed everything.
The thing about Torres is... no one cared about blackface at that time in Brazil, it happened all that time and this race discussion was not wide and popular.
Mentira. Eu me importava. E um monte de gente também. E esquece isso de "no one", isso não é defesa. Tendo dito isso, óbvio que Fernandinha não fez por racismo. Mas a questão aqui nem é essa: a lgbtfobia de brasileiros canalhas estão tirando o Oscar da Fernandinha. Continuem atacando Emilia Pérez COVARDEMENTE e a culpa de Fernandinha perder o prêmio será toda de vocês. Vocês começaram o jogo sujo? Agora aguentem o jogo sujo dos outros. Foi um fã da Selena Gomez que encontrou essa blackface. Entenderam, otários?
Not even 6 hours after this uploads and Gascon has just accused Torres’ team of inciting hate towards Emilia Perez, and a clip of Audiard came out of him calling the Spanish language the language “of poor people and migrants”.
If there has ever been a film worthy of piling up all the oscar nominations like this film's gotten without winning a single award, it would be Emilia Pérez.
The purity spiral comes for everyone. No one is immune because everyone has skeletons in their closets. But that's not what bothers me about Emilia Perez's success. What bothers me is that a film this bad can be this successful
Yeah the digging up of year old dirt on celebrities really only matters to a small set of people on twitter. Whose main engagement with politics is through celebrity/pop culture. And while Musks takeover of the platform has been a disaster. That that kind of purity testing is increasingly marginalised is a silver lining at least.
EP getting 13 noms is wack Dune 2 gets snubbed from categories it should win is wack Didi, Challengers, A Different Man, A Real Pain, Sing Sing, Civil War, The Apprentice, Secret of the Sacred Fig, Flow, I Saw the TV Glow, The Wild Robot Its like there ARE great movies they just arent getting the big noms.
As an Ukrainian, I personally didn't mind that Anora was nominated for these awards. It has been made by a lot of people, and its not really "pro-russian". But the Yura Borisov's nomination is indeed quite a bizarre and weird one.
Regarding Borisov and "Anora": this is not a new conversation, but I do think it's only reaching the American audiences now. The whole idea of people having a problem with Hollywood employing Russian creatives, having ties to Russian money, etc., has been ongoing and particularly sensitive in the past few years for obvious reasons. The specific thing with Borisov is that he has NOT been actively outspoken against the war, has continued living and working in Russia (which means paying taxes that end up going towards the invasion of Ukraine), has participated in multiple propaganda films in the past, and one of his upcoming projects is directed by an outspoken supporter of Putin. So, naturally, people have strong opinions and question the ethics of such a nomination.
the Borisov stuff is very politically delicate but I 100% understand the outrage about nominating a movie that celebrates and stars Russians whilst there’s a war going on. But there’s also tons of misinformation about Borisov that’s gone viral and I’m almost certain it’s the reason why this story hasn’t really been picked up by any western publications (considering Milos Bikovic was fired from white lotus for his outspoken support of Putin the Borisov story is something the media would absolutely jump on). Like he signed an open letter with some other Russian actors/directors/producers saying they were against the invasion, he’s been defended by filmmakers for Ukraine because they consider him an ally, and he’s spoken up about his regret starring in some of those state funded war films. Some of the stuff those big accounts are saying are straight up defamation lol. But I think there are so many fan wars going on with Oscar season this year that people (especially anora haters) are cherry picking from these Ukrainian articles for Twitter clout and it’s just gross selective empathy to me
@@minimarsbars I agree that this is a bit more complicated than the headlines are portraying. Yes, a lot of people signed that letter right after the invasion started, however for some that was pretty much the extent of their "opposition" as they continued living and working in Russia, paying taxes, working with/for people who support the government, etc., so to many just signing the letter on its own seems like a gesture rather than actual opposition (particularly considering it's been 3 years). I'm not sure what you mean by selective empathy or what defamation you're referring to - like I said, this discourse isn't new, the actor is trying to dance around politics claiming to be apolitical, and most Ukrainians see prologued silence like that (combined with work choices, including his upcoming project with Konchalovsky) negatively, which is more than understandable.
The supposed "love letter to Mexico", whatever that means, was officially just premiered in Mexico. They knew they wouldn't be backed by Mexico and played dumb trying to garner attention elsewhere
Never before have I seen such agreement about a movie being trash despite political opinions and such. Trans, mexicans, musical fans, movie lovers = EVERYONE dislikes Emilia Perez. Truly a stunning achievement in this polarized world LOL
I have not seen I’m Still Here, but City of God is one of my all-time favorite films and I was amazed at the kind of movie that Brazil churned out. I haven’t seen Emilia Perez and I don’t want to, but I am rooting for I’m Still Here and all the press around it to really pull off something great in the coming weeks.
You should watch Central Station if you haven't! It's by the same director as I'm Still Here and the main character is the legendary Fernanda Montenegro, Fernanda Torres mother!
I think the backlash Emilia Pérez has received just HAS to give at some point, it gave for La La Land, it gave for Three Billboards, it has to give for this movie too somehow. I have NEVER seen a Best Picture nominee get this much backlash, I don't remember Crash when it won and Green Book while it got trashed for winning wasn't hated to the extent that Emilia Pérez was for even potentially winning. And i ultimately think The Brutalist will be the beneficiary of Emilia Perez's downfall (if it does have one because omfg it is TERRIBLE 😭).
I doubt it. Voters are terminally offline. Ron Perlman recently in an interview said Emilia was his favorite movie of 2024 and was shocked hearing any dislike regarding the movie. The voting for the Oscar nominations happened after the Globes where the peak of Emilia hate began, and still it got 13 nominations.
Let us not forget that a Best Picture winner needs at least one of either Screenplay or Director to win, and the current frontrunners in these categories are ANORA for Original, CONCLAVE for Adapted, and THE BRUTALIST for Director. The most likely scenario is that one of the 3 prevails. I also wouldn't rule out A COMPLETE UNKNOWN massively benefitting as people in general seem to either at least like it or really love it, and James Mangold is kind of due an Oscar himself (he now has 5 nominations in total (including 3 for A COMPLETE UNKNOWN) and he would win as a producer if the movie wins).
@coletrainhetrick I'm autistic and English is not my first language, but yes this is basically my point. I've just never seen a Best Picture nominee so universally reviled like this before. If certain controversies that surrounded previous Best Picture nominees like Three Billboards and like La La Land brought them down, I think (and hope) that eventually the controversies surrounding Emilia Perez give in too.
For the past few years, they really seemed to get the message that NOBODY...even far left-leaning people...wanted to watch a ceremony where a bunch of millionaires got up and made political statements, even if they agreed with the message that was being presented. We've had several good years of mostly apolitical Oscars. But now they are just bound and determined to throw that out the window. Nobody likes this movie. This is simply virtue signalling of the highest order. If EP walks away with a bunch of wins, especially Best Picture, it's going to take years for the reputation of the Oscars to recover, if they ever can.
I mean Gascon does not deserves a nomination she was okay I guess. Anjolina Jolie, saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, lily rose depp all deserves more. Plz The Brutalist save us.
They really digging up on everyone's past 💀. Is not some buried story tho, it happenned 40 years ago but even Demi talked about it in her memoir and she was also groomed.
One thing we need to keep in mind is that the Oscars use a preferential ballot for Best Picture, where voters have to rank the movies based on preference. In order to win, the ballots have to be redistributed and the movie with 50%+1 votes wins. We know that EMILIA PEREZ has passion and will get a lot of #1 votes, but is it whether it gets enough #2/#3 votes that we need to ask. The question is what movie has the broadest overall appeal along with passion of the bunch? PGA is crucial for this. I firmly believe that in a 5-nominee voting for 1 movie system, EMILIA PEREZ handily wins, but the ballot used in Picture gives me pause. I think EMILIA PEREZ will win BAFTA for this reason.
The film Emilia Pérez feels like a patchwork quilt-its editing constantly makes you question what’s happening, with storylines that start but never find closure, jumping from one theme to another without explanation. The subject of missing people is a delicate and important issue, yet the film barely scratches the surface, handling it in a superficial way, almost as if it were made by an amateur. In the end, the only saving grace is Zoe Saldaña, who is undeniably the true lead of the film. It’s also great to see a trans actress gaining well-deserved recognition. As for the rest, Emilia Pérez leaves much to be desired.
Gascón is absolutely sure she's the only person who should win the Oscar in her category... bruh, I'm Brazilian and am rooting for Fernanda Torres, but I'll be glad if anyone but Gascón wins (go, Demi!). And I'm not commenting on her tone deaf tweets 🤦🏾♀️
In every single way. This comparison is cruel to Emilia Pérez. I'm Still Here deserved at least more nominations, like Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. If Selton Mello were American, he would be one of the main contenders..
As a Brazilian who has lived through the entire military dictatorship in Brazil, I could not be happier to see I'm Still Here nominated for both best foreign movie and best movie, and I thank you for rooting for it, even though I am very aware of the fact that to many people who have never gone through the horrors of such a dictatorship, it may seem a little monotonous and not nearly as powerful as it is for us.
I love the chaos of this year, we have a clear villain film that nobody wants to win, body horror is shaking things up, we have a few underdogs in best picture, and none of the categories have an obvious winner imo. plus, nobody can really pin down the opinion of the voting block since so many of the previous awards were different winners
Part 2 of Wicked is definitely not going to be nominated lol I've seen the musical multiple times and the first half is really the best part of the entire story.
And a few hours after this video came out... The Director of the Emilia Perez saying that Spanish is "the language of poor people and immigrants". Let that sink in.
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Emilia Perez at all. At the surface it - hardly - portrays itself as being a progressive picture but people I personally know in both trans and Mexican communities strongly dislike it, thinking it was awfully exploitative.
I refuse to believe this film is better than LOTR, Gone with the Wind, Wall-En, Titanic, Avatar, Avengers End Game, Casablanca, It’s a Wonderful Life All considered some of the greatest films ever made and were not nominated as much as this film. The Oscars is a joke!
Mentira da p0rr4 viu! O movimento negro critica isso desde os anos 40, o abdias Nascimento CRIOU o teatro experimental do negro em 1944 justamente pra formar mais atores negros e tentar acabar com o uso do blackface nos teatros do Brasil. Pessoas negras brasileiras vêm falando isso há quase 80 anos já mas vcs r4cist4s de merda ignoram
No one does that anymore, not even in Brazil. I agree it does not hold the same meaning that in the US, but it's not welcomed anymore. Time changes our perception on everything, and that's good.
Crash was actually liked by critics (at least in its time), it won Best Picture because Brokeback Mountain was favored to win but Oscar voters were shifty about awarding a movie so pro-gay, so Crash was the "safe pick". This time the shoe is on the other foot. Emilia Perez really has no pathway to Best Picture, it has to be favored to win Director and or screenplay, which it's not in contention for either. The Brutalist, Anora and Conclave stand more of a chance winning Best Picture than EP.
Anora was an incredible film. I never fall asleep watching films and I literally fell asleep during The Brutalist. Emilia Perez was horrendous and I barely got through half the film before walking out.
Lmao and the funniest thing is that today a video of Audiard saying spanish is only spoken in poor countries went viral and Karla blamed Torres' team for the hate the movie is getting 😂
12:50 actually ukranians did brought it all up back when sean baker and anora won award at cannes, but it didn't get a lot of transactions. also borisov visited occupied crimea, as well as another actor mark. thank you for bringing it up, so far you are the only one who mentioned that. thank you.
I’ve always been a bit on the grey about the culture appropriation discourse… but nevermind, cause this move is the best example of culture appropriation I’ve come across in my Mexican life.
4:42 as a jewish Israeli, pretty much my whole family (grand grandparents) were killed in the holocaust. Now I'm not offended or anything, but this is just funny to me.
As another Jewish person, I’m more offended by the fact that many of the same people pretending to be offended are the same people who think that someone potentially being a Zionist is a bad thing.
@chickensalad3535 totally agree. I think the whole meaning of zionism was just butchered. I'm israeli too and witnessed it nonstop. People think that it's some violent racist ideology when it just means that jews should have a right to a country, and that's it.
The criticism of AI in The Brutalist and Brody's performance is Sophist at best. Film is artifice. Every single film. The only question is, to what degree? Simply editing a film shapes it and its performances. The moment you point a camera at something, you are by default deciding what you're NOT pointing the camera at. This makes both "truth" and aesthetic distance -- even in a documentary -- impossible. (Edited for clarity)
Without starting a fight, but with Wicked singing live and other musicals being so good, I don't think Emilia Pérez should have won best musical at the Golden Globes. Zoe winning is fine, even if I don't like the movie or the proposal, the performances aren't bad, but best musical... I don't know. I also think Challengers and Dune Part 2 deserved more Oscar nominations, just as I think Emilia Pérez should have won fewer nominations...
THE WAY MY VIDEO IS ALREADY OUTDATED WHY ARE MORE THINGS HAPPENING W EMILIA PÉREZ

Like Spain? Is the director french or from Quebec?

"I would've voted for Emilia Perez to get 14 if I could"
They shouldn’t get any awards
American Fiction which deservedly won Best Adapted Screenplay last year parodied this kind of faux progressivism from the Entertainment industry.
well said
The Academy is stupid and has been for decades
It's nothing new
Awful movies are historically underrepresented at the Oscars, so it's actually very progressive of the academy to recognize Emilia Perez
Razzies ambassadors ❤
And it’s a shame more top restaurants don’t feature fried 💩 as a healthy & delicious dish.
Regarding Emilia Pérez's approach to transgender people, I don’t have the standing to discuss it. However, as a Latino, I was having a conversation with a Mexican friend about the film’s problematic approaches, and he shared something so pointed that it encapsulates the entire lack of sensitivity and absurdity in the film’s conception: "Imagine taking a major trauma from your country’s history-like the issue of drug trafficking and disappearance of people in my country. If you’re American, think of 9/11, for example. Now imagine turning that tragedy into a musical, where the person responsible for the atrocity undergoes an emotional transformation/sexual transition, abandons their traumatic past, and becomes a "good person," a sanctified figure. How would that make you feel?"
Likewise, I'm not Latino so I can't speak about the Mexican representation end of it, but I *am* transgender, so I can speak to that. Emilia Perez leans into so many bad tropes about trans people that I feel that it's taking a few steps backward from the positive trans rep we've been building towards and encouraging people to think that the reason why we transition is to deceive people, to wipe the slate clean, to reinvent ourselves into something we're not. She has to tragically (and let's be honest here, hilariously) die at the end, because of the bury your gays trope. She's shown to physically assault her wife, stoking fears that trans women really are aggressive and manly and therefore shouldn't play in women's sports. The list goes on and it's exhausting.
Why don't you have the standing to discuss it?
@argetlam42 They shouldn't play in women's sport. But it's nothing to do with being aggressive. It's to do with strength, bone density, and reaction times.
But in fact EP does not become a "good person" at all. She keeps being a manipulative boss. Have you seen the movie?
@@andreadox😂😂😂😂 HAVE YOU?! 😂😂😂😂 The bish gets commemorated as a saint at the end of the movie
Add on that, today Karla Sofia accused Fernanda Torres’s team of being behind the hate towards Shitilia Perez despite Fernanda herself posting a long ass video defending her and urging people to stop the hate and didn’t even get acknowledged or thanked for it, what a complete dick honestly.And by this she also violated a rule forbidding negative tactics to single out competition so I really hope the passionate Brazilian fans force the academy to respond because it’s utterly ridiculous
If it'll cost anything it'll be her getting Best Actress I bet.
@ she was never gonna get the award but even a nomination is too generous for her, stabbing someone who did nothing but support her in the back should disqualify her in my opinion but I know this will never happen
@@dana17958 Removing her would only add to the awkward messiness, though it might send a message to other actors to not do it. I assume it'll be left there but it may have hurt her chances.
Brasileiros podem ser terrivelmente agressivos e barulhentos para defender seus ídolos.
Mas pessoal, vamos com calma, por favor.
@@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168 I didn't like The Substance, and I don't think that angrily smudging her make up was good acting for Demi Moore, but she has the pity vote, because she's an older actress in a movie talking about obsession with youth. Also I'm tired of the trope of actresses de-glamouring themselves to win prizes. I didn't like Anora either and the actress is very young. So I hope that either Cynthia Erivo or Fernanda Torres win the category.
Johanne sacreblu has me crying
So disappointed it only has spanish captions. I am dying to watch
You can just turn on subtitles lol@@ruminationstation4200
@@ruminationstation4200I'd love to give some English subs to it because is a blast in Spanish 😂
She could ask ( Camila the director) for subs for they Community because English speakers deserve to enjoy this work of Art. Also the comment section of Johanne Sacreblu ist wild and hilarious
emilia perez does for mexico what emily in paris does for france. it's even basically the same title!!!!!!
Actually Emily in Paris is not as disrespectful at list doesn’t make fun of the deaths of thousands of people. This movie is a bad soap opera mix with a South Park episode I can’t believe this movie exists. but we agree we both hate it.
Karla Sofía Gascón seems to be playing dirty. During her visit to Brazil to promote the film, she asked Fernanda Torres in an interview to help her deal with "these people"-yes, in a completely derogatory way. Torres responded with an incredibly kind video, yet Gascón didn’t like, share, or even follow Torres in return.
It seems like she’s trying to create a narrative that she’s being criticized specifically by Brazilians, which is simply not true. The reality is that people all over the world dislike the film, and it has nothing to do with her gender, as she tries to suggest. It’s evident that she’s attempting to tarnish Fernanda Torres' career by digging up things from 20 or 30 years ago. Honestly, it’s a bit disgusting.
At this year’s Oscars, besides rooting for my favorites, I’ll also be hoping that Emilia Pérez takes home as few awards as possible.
Besides she her comments open before Fernanda's video, only after she blocked them. It says a lot tbf
We're too busy talking about the movie to waste any time sending hate her way
I’ve seen Latin America side with Mexico on this. We’re f baffled on how Mexico was portrayed. And it’s the specific portrayal of Mexico that is the problem, its triggering because it’s the global north not giving a sh about the global south
“The Color Purple” has the dubious record for most nominated film with zero wins. Let’s hope that distinction ends this year.
My priority for movies at the Oscars goes something like this:
1. I'm Still Here
2. The Substance
3. Wicked
everything else
999999. Emilia Perez
I HOPE “I’M STILL HERE” WINS BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM! 🙏🏻❤️

Good possibility
nah, lets win the best Feature film and also the international one
@@EnricoPacu Flow totally deserves best Animated Feature. “I’m still here” should win this category
@@toreliseu As long it's not Emilia Pérez.
Gotta peek into "I'm still here"
Karla Sofia gascon now just accused the Fernanda Torres campaign of stoking hatred against her specifically. And that shows the lack of character from the movie. I think she's just saying absurd shit to get flamed so she can play the victim
Fernanda Torres literally shared a video a couple of weeks ago saying a lot of good things about Gascon and Emilia Perez... Gascon is a filthy liar.
Exactly that. I hope people don't fall for this very obvious trick of hers. She's baiting people into starting a hate campaign against her, instead of focusing on the movie, so she can say it's a personal attack instead of valid criticism of a shitty piece of media
Yeah, I don't like her.
What I hate most about this discourse regarding Emilia Perez is that legitimate criticims of the film are getting paired up with outright bigotry. I hate EP because it treats Mexicans and trans people with such disregard but other people are hating it because 'woke' / 'DEI' or whatever brainrot term they have nowadays. It's exhausting really.
Gascon is getting both too. I think her controversial tweet is regarding the bigotry she received and not necessarily the former
Nah, the discourse is now used by some "liberals" for the defense of the movie....but the movie was called offensive by mexicans and LGBT people way before americans entered the discussion.
In no way the "actual criticism" is taken down. Defenders of this movie can't save this movie with the good 'ole "if you don't like it, you're bigot" speech.
@luchomscyfy I actually think it does NOT win Picture for this precise reason. Let us not forget that a Best Picture winner needs at least one of either Screenplay or Director to win, and the current frontrunners in these categories are ANORA for Original, CONCLAVE for Adapted, and THE BRUTALIST for Director.
@@axr7149 in an ideal world, it shouldn't win any award. Or being nominated. I think the movie is that bad: acting, songs, direction is meh, screenplay is atrocious if you know spanish.....
Even if I consider Zoe Saldaña o Karla Gascón's performances "good"....are not good enough to save the script. I mean, both are good with the material they had....but it's a baffling bad movie with good performances.
Best movie? Probably in some parallel universe.
Heck, even take that out, the movie just isn’t good. I mean, what part of that movie is exceptional?
I'm Mexican and everything you said about Emilia Pérez is true. Even Mexican people want to include Johanne Sacreblu on Mexican cinemas. Karla Sofía insults people every other day and now there is a video about the French director saying that Spanish is a language spoken in poor countries, like WTF?
EP having the same amount of Oscar noms as Oppenheimer is BONKERS
The way this movie picture violence is offensive for Mexicans but also Colombians, Argentinians and Brazilians are speaking in TH-cam videos about how they also feel disrespected because their countries experienced that kind of violence too and Emilia Perez made a circus about it
Edit: talking about disappeared families because of crime, guerrilla or dictatorships
That karla sofia gascon tweet is INSANE
she follows jonathan. he mentioned it in passing during (i think) his golden globe nominations reaction video. i don't think he'd mention it nowadays lol
My steaming hot take on it is I don't think she's talking about the hate the movie gets but the rise of fascism and transphobia in general. In fact I do think she does make a point in her tweet.
Say what you think about the movie and her previous remarks but she has gotten a lot of transphobic hate messages during this awards season. Her follow-up tweet was literally the death threats she got in her DMs.
@@joelanthonylim6792 I agree that she's been attacked for no reason, but comparing to holocaust is non sensical
@ that's the hope. maybe i should take a second look at the tweets. and of course there's the language barrier
the thing about "using your labels to hide your stupidity" and how you should "make your own movie" are rough tho
I think the tweet was more about the trans community rather than the movie itself
the fact that people found on karla's twitter problematic things about race, george floyd, covid, black lives matters, muslin, trans people and even the oscar academy... don't mess with brazil, we'll find the receipts

Equating the backlash against Emilia Perez to the anti semitism during WW2 is absolutely insane and over the top.
I think she was talking about the hate that trans people get and not the movie
@itsthemaggieshow Would still be insane and over the top.
@@itsthemaggieshow why y'all justifying a parallelism between the hate SHE'S received (cuz she's made both the movie & its backlash all about herself only) and the origin of the H0locaust?
In Mexico we do not attack the actor for being trans, that issue remained in the second place, what was criticized is how a drug trafficker, in order not to pay for his crimes changes his sex and they want to say that this is redeeming himself🤦🏻♂️😈 Nobody in their right mind I would approve of something like that.
@@itsthemaggieshow Trans people get hate largely, not entirely but largely, because trans representatives are so often hateful bigots, and the political movements to which they attached themselves are actively and fundamentally hateful and bigoted. The pretense that "the trans community" is this poor innocent thing is deeply unhelpful, and there is a reason that even many prominent LGBQ organizations are deeply uncomfortable with its politics and behavior. Not INDIVIDUAL trans people, although some people are certainly broadly and hatefully anti-trans, the same way many are broadly and hatefully anti-CIS, anti-white, anti-whatever.
Johanne sacreblu may seem silly for most people,, but to us it really became a movement (there's conversations to have it screen in cinemas, so it got really serious) Camila D Aurora, the author, has a couple of tiktoks talking on the matter that are seriously sooo important to hear cus she's mexican and a trans woman
We been complaining about Emilia Pérez since day 1 only to be shot down because "we don't get it" when its a deep wound in OUR society
What’s her TikTok under? Would I find it with her name? Have y’all boycotted the film in Mexico? It’s also telling that Netflix had it blocked from LatAm until very recently, and that it hadn’t had a theatrical release, until noms were super close. It feels premeditated to me. As if they knew what they were doing and trying to keep the backlash away, as far out as possible from Oscar nominations and such.
@@simplyrowenoh the movie was boycotd so hard, the cinemas airing it had next to no one attending, some cinemas you can see the amount of ocuppied setas, and at best they had like 5 people attending lol
@@simplyrowen "Cinepolis" the main movie theater chain of Mexico has a thing for "prestige films" called "Garantia Cinepolis" where they guarantee that the movie is so good that if you walk out within the first 15 minutes they give you your money back and people have been boycotting by walking out before the 15 minutes mark and the company was refusing to refunds them and they got sued by the government and were forced to refund the tickets
@@simplyrowennot hard to boycott it. It’s an extremely hard watch. I still this day have NO idea what Selena Gomez was singing in that bedroom song. It was completely slurred, there was zero enunciation
The only problem I have with it is it doesn't have English captions because it would be even funnier if I could understand it.
I think it's important that Fernanda apologized and told the truth about our society, it's something that still happens, until 2015 blackface was shown on open TV, the country has changed a lot and racial causes gained more and more visibility, but in 2018 I remember yellowface in a soap opera on the most important channel in the country and was not as criticized as it should have been, Fernanda speaking and admitting it caused many newspapers to write articles about it, many people tried to understand what it was, my mother and my uncle asked me to explain what blackface was because they didn't know what it was

The entire Mexican population are saying that Emilia Perez is offensive, the entire trans community are saying the same but Hollywood are gaslight to accept this shit. I am rooting for “I’m still here”
For the industry to ignore Mexicans and trans people, just speaks more on their bigotry, performative activism and smugness. Because they’re now choosing to be dense and ignore the people whom this movie is supposed to “represent”. There is such a thing as appropriating stories that aren’t yours to tell and misrepresent them in the process.
Just to clarify, I do think a person like a heterosexual French man can tell minorities’ stories IF he brings consultants to the project, who represent those minorities, so the material actually honors them and treats them with respect and care. There’s a difference between appropriation and appreciation/representation.
Cultural Appreciation is about honoring a culture whereas Cultural Appropriation is dishonoring or demeaning a culture. This film is demeaning to those it is supposed to represent, and Jacques didn’t handle the production with care and respect.
As far as Karla Gascón gaslighting everyone and comparing this to Nazi Germany is incredibly tone deaf. She has a higher responsibility to represent her community, but she’s only representing herself and her hubris is not allowing her to see where people are coming from.
Why does she have the responsibility to represent her community? Seriously question
@@ikexbankai I personally don't think she has that responsibility just for being a trans woman with a platform (which is what the og comment surely meant), HOWEVER she's the one who has reduced the entire situation to HER being a TRANS WOMAN fighting against TRANSPHOBIC hatred while representing the "touching" story about the TRANS experience.
She has been such a narcissist + self centered ego maniac that, after reducing the movie to a personal crusade, she ironically is getting called out for participating in a movie that misrepresented & diminished trans people
I don't know if you folk have ever noticed this, but the industry has a long history of ignoring Americans, whites, moderates, rural folk, CIS folk, and others about which it routinely makes and awards deeply racist, bigoted, misrepresentative "entertainment" made without the slightest respect or care and we all seem to be okay with that. In fact we often love it, promote it, and reward it ourselves with our money and attention, making its creators and participants rich and powerful.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think anyone needs to bring in consultants to tell stories about minorities. Do minorities need to bring in consultants when they tell stories about majorities? Do gays need consultants to tell heterosexual stories? To suggest a heterosexual French man can't tell a trans or gay story properly, without the input of someone else, suggests that a homosexual person couldn't tell a heterosexual story properly, without the input of someone else, which I also reject.
That said, I haven't seen Emilia Perez, but I'm confident they got everything wrong.
You’re opinion is not unpopular @
Emilia Perez is like a Chinese director making a musical film about school shootings in the United States, but with Indian actors and speaking English poorly. And in the end the killers turned out to be the good guys and became saints. If you were Latino you would understand that this is an offensive film in many ways.
Comparing this season to last year's, it feels like we're in bizarro world. Like I do not remember anything close to this psychotic of an atmosphere last time
No GLAAD nomination for Emilia Perez is pretty damning, but arguably what's more damning for GLAAD is that didn't nominate I Saw The TV Glow for anything.
And The People's Joker. It's like they forgot about the T part of LGBT. And nominating Mean Girls????
Mean Girls getting nominated over TV Glow had my jaw dropped
@@joelanthonylim6792 you know there's a great Dave Chapelle joke about the T. It used to be referred as LGB, the T if anything is making the drive take a lot longer.
@@joelanthonylim6792 Because many in the LGBQ community don't believe the T should be part of it, that the T has hijacked the LGBQ movement, and that the hate and bigotry flowing from those "representing" the T and its exploitation by so-called Progressives has derailed everything.
STOP SIMPING FOR I SAW THE TV GLOW!
The thing about Torres is... no one cared about blackface at that time in Brazil, it happened all that time and this race discussion was not wide and popular.
Mentira. Eu me importava. E um monte de gente também. E esquece isso de "no one", isso não é defesa. Tendo dito isso, óbvio que Fernandinha não fez por racismo. Mas a questão aqui nem é essa: a lgbtfobia de brasileiros canalhas estão tirando o Oscar da Fernandinha. Continuem atacando Emilia Pérez COVARDEMENTE e a culpa de Fernandinha perder o prêmio será toda de vocês. Vocês começaram o jogo sujo? Agora aguentem o jogo sujo dos outros. Foi um fã da Selena Gomez que encontrou essa blackface. Entenderam, otários?
Not even 6 hours after this uploads and Gascon has just accused Torres’ team of inciting hate towards Emilia Perez, and a clip of Audiard came out of him calling the Spanish language the language “of poor people and migrants”.
If there has ever been a film worthy of piling up all the oscar nominations like this film's gotten without winning a single award, it would be Emilia Pérez.
Emilia Perez is the Oli London of movies
No, I say the Keemstar of movies.
I have a theory that in years when horror movies were way better than dramas, the awards are extra bizzare and messy.
The purity spiral comes for everyone. No one is immune because everyone has skeletons in their closets. But that's not what bothers me about Emilia Perez's success. What bothers me is that a film this bad can be this successful
Yeah the digging up of year old dirt on celebrities really only matters to a small set of people on twitter. Whose main engagement with politics is through celebrity/pop culture. And while Musks takeover of the platform has been a disaster. That that kind of purity testing is increasingly marginalised is a silver lining at least.
EP getting 13 noms is wack
Dune 2 gets snubbed from categories it should win is wack
Didi, Challengers, A Different Man, A Real Pain, Sing Sing, Civil War, The Apprentice, Secret of the Sacred Fig, Flow, I Saw the TV Glow, The Wild Robot
Its like there ARE great movies they just arent getting the big noms.
As an Ukrainian, I personally didn't mind that Anora was nominated for these awards. It has been made by a lot of people, and its not really "pro-russian". But the Yura Borisov's nomination is indeed quite a bizarre and weird one.
They nominated the wrong supporting actor, it should have been Karren Karagulian
@@erinnadia0409To me it should've been the boy/husband. He's hilarious.
@ yeah he played the spoilt, immature nepo baby so well! I was captivated by his performance too!
Regarding Borisov and "Anora": this is not a new conversation, but I do think it's only reaching the American audiences now. The whole idea of people having a problem with Hollywood employing Russian creatives, having ties to Russian money, etc., has been ongoing and particularly sensitive in the past few years for obvious reasons. The specific thing with Borisov is that he has NOT been actively outspoken against the war, has continued living and working in Russia (which means paying taxes that end up going towards the invasion of Ukraine), has participated in multiple propaganda films in the past, and one of his upcoming projects is directed by an outspoken supporter of Putin. So, naturally, people have strong opinions and question the ethics of such a nomination.
the Borisov stuff is very politically delicate but I 100% understand the outrage about nominating a movie that celebrates and stars Russians whilst there’s a war going on. But there’s also tons of misinformation about Borisov that’s gone viral and I’m almost certain it’s the reason why this story hasn’t really been picked up by any western publications (considering Milos Bikovic was fired from white lotus for his outspoken support of Putin the Borisov story is something the media would absolutely jump on). Like he signed an open letter with some other Russian actors/directors/producers saying they were against the invasion, he’s been defended by filmmakers for Ukraine because they consider him an ally, and he’s spoken up about his regret starring in some of those state funded war films. Some of the stuff those big accounts are saying are straight up defamation lol. But I think there are so many fan wars going on with Oscar season this year that people (especially anora haters) are cherry picking from these Ukrainian articles for Twitter clout and it’s just gross selective empathy to me
@@minimarsbars I agree that this is a bit more complicated than the headlines are portraying. Yes, a lot of people signed that letter right after the invasion started, however for some that was pretty much the extent of their "opposition" as they continued living and working in Russia, paying taxes, working with/for people who support the government, etc., so to many just signing the letter on its own seems like a gesture rather than actual opposition (particularly considering it's been 3 years). I'm not sure what you mean by selective empathy or what defamation you're referring to - like I said, this discourse isn't new, the actor is trying to dance around politics claiming to be apolitical, and most Ukrainians see prologued silence like that (combined with work choices, including his upcoming project with Konchalovsky) negatively, which is more than understandable.
The supposed "love letter to Mexico", whatever that means, was officially just premiered in Mexico. They knew they wouldn't be backed by Mexico and played dumb trying to garner attention elsewhere
Never before have I seen such agreement about a movie being trash despite political opinions and such. Trans, mexicans, musical fans, movie lovers = EVERYONE dislikes Emilia Perez. Truly a stunning achievement in this polarized world LOL
I have not seen I’m Still Here, but City of God is one of my all-time favorite films and I was amazed at the kind of movie that Brazil churned out.
I haven’t seen Emilia Perez and I don’t want to, but I am rooting for I’m Still Here and all the press around it to really pull off something great in the coming weeks.
You should watch Central Station if you haven't! It's by the same director as I'm Still Here and the main character is the legendary Fernanda Montenegro, Fernanda Torres mother!
I am actually surprised you aren't aware of the backlash Zoe Saldana got when she played Nina Simone? That was huge back then.
That and the SNL stuff from Adrien Brody lol. I thought that was common knowledge

Emilia Perez winning Golden Globe’s for Musical against WICKED is probably my villain backstory for real.
It is a Musical category… the music matters
I don't even like Wicked, but it got robbed.
Nah. The robbed ones were Anora and The Substance.
Musical/comedy im telling you. EP IS NOTHING OF THOSE
I think the backlash Emilia Pérez has received just HAS to give at some point, it gave for La La Land, it gave for Three Billboards, it has to give for this movie too somehow. I have NEVER seen a Best Picture nominee get this much backlash, I don't remember Crash when it won and Green Book while it got trashed for winning wasn't hated to the extent that Emilia Pérez was for even potentially winning. And i ultimately think The Brutalist will be the beneficiary of Emilia Perez's downfall (if it does have one because omfg it is TERRIBLE 😭).
I doubt it. Voters are terminally offline. Ron Perlman recently in an interview said Emilia was his favorite movie of 2024 and was shocked hearing any dislike regarding the movie. The voting for the Oscar nominations happened after the Globes where the peak of Emilia hate began, and still it got 13 nominations.
Give?
Let us not forget that a Best Picture winner needs at least one of either Screenplay or Director to win, and the current frontrunners in these categories are ANORA for Original, CONCLAVE for Adapted, and THE BRUTALIST for Director. The most likely scenario is that one of the 3 prevails. I also wouldn't rule out A COMPLETE UNKNOWN massively benefitting as people in general seem to either at least like it or really love it, and James Mangold is kind of due an Oscar himself (he now has 5 nominations in total (including 3 for A COMPLETE UNKNOWN) and he would win as a producer if the movie wins).
@Win090949 worded weirdly but he's basically asking will the voters give in and realize it's not liked at all and choose to not give it best picture
@coletrainhetrick I'm autistic and English is not my first language, but yes this is basically my point. I've just never seen a Best Picture nominee so universally reviled like this before. If certain controversies that surrounded previous Best Picture nominees like Three Billboards and like La La Land brought them down, I think (and hope) that eventually the controversies surrounding Emilia Perez give in too.
For the past few years, they really seemed to get the message that NOBODY...even far left-leaning people...wanted to watch a ceremony where a bunch of millionaires got up and made political statements, even if they agreed with the message that was being presented. We've had several good years of mostly apolitical Oscars. But now they are just bound and determined to throw that out the window. Nobody likes this movie. This is simply virtue signalling of the highest order. If EP walks away with a bunch of wins, especially Best Picture, it's going to take years for the reputation of the Oscars to recover, if they ever can.
I mean Gascon does not deserves a nomination she was okay I guess. Anjolina Jolie, saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, lily rose depp all deserves more. Plz The Brutalist save us.
Angelina not getting nominated angers me. Like her performance was something else and they snubbed her.
“Chat am I reading this right?” I’m still unsure 😭 I’m just sitting in my horror corner hoping the substance or nosferatu takes home something
Now there is Karla Sofia Gascon accusing Fernanda Torres's team for trying to hurt her movie's chances. This is so messy...
I wish Hollywood would listen and learn but of course they won’t. They will stick there heads in the sand and vote it multiple awards
You pronunced Emilia Perez, better than many people who worked on that film
In addition to the controversies surrounding Saldaña and Torres, Demi is also facing allegations for having kissed a minor in her past
Fiennes also defending JK Rowling in the past was brought up
she was 19 he was 15 and she was pressured to do it. + it was 43 years ago fuck off
@@honestlyfodase Come on, it was just Ashton Kutcher! 😂 😂 😂
They really digging up on everyone's past 💀. Is not some buried story tho, it happenned 40 years ago but even Demi talked about it in her memoir and she was also groomed.
hollywood actually condones that type of thing so
If Emilia Perez wins over any of the other films I’m going to crash out
One thing we need to keep in mind is that the Oscars use a preferential ballot for Best Picture, where voters have to rank the movies based on preference. In order to win, the ballots have to be redistributed and the movie with 50%+1 votes wins. We know that EMILIA PEREZ has passion and will get a lot of #1 votes, but is it whether it gets enough #2/#3 votes that we need to ask. The question is what movie has the broadest overall appeal along with passion of the bunch? PGA is crucial for this.
I firmly believe that in a 5-nominee voting for 1 movie system, EMILIA PEREZ handily wins, but the ballot used in Picture gives me pause. I think EMILIA PEREZ will win BAFTA for this reason.
The film Emilia Pérez feels like a patchwork quilt-its editing constantly makes you question what’s happening, with storylines that start but never find closure, jumping from one theme to another without explanation.
The subject of missing people is a delicate and important issue, yet the film barely scratches the surface, handling it in a superficial way, almost as if it were made by an amateur.
In the end, the only saving grace is Zoe Saldaña, who is undeniably the true lead of the film. It’s also great to see a trans actress gaining well-deserved recognition. As for the rest, Emilia Pérez leaves much to be desired.
Gascón is absolutely sure she's the only person who should win the Oscar in her category... bruh, I'm Brazilian and am rooting for Fernanda Torres, but I'll be glad if anyone but Gascón wins (go, Demi!). And I'm not commenting on her tone deaf tweets 🤦🏾♀️
I'm Still Here is better than Emilia Perez
Literal human shit is better than Emilia Perez
Not complicated
In every single way. This comparison is cruel to Emilia Pérez. I'm Still Here deserved at least more nominations, like Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. If Selton Mello were American, he would be one of the main contenders..
WAY better, Emilia Perez doesn’t even deserve to be in the same discussion
Every single movie last year is better than Emilia Pérez.
The smearing campaign the Netflix/EP team is promoting against Fernanda and I'm Still Here is truly disgusting.
bienvenidos a la FRAAANCE
Donde puedes encontrar quien te robe el corazón y tu carrera🎵🎵
As a Brazilian who has lived through the entire military dictatorship in Brazil, I could not be happier to see I'm Still Here nominated for both best foreign movie and best movie, and I thank you for rooting for it, even though I am very aware of the fact that to many people who have never gone through the horrors of such a dictatorship, it may seem a little monotonous and not nearly as powerful as it is for us.
I love the chaos of this year, we have a clear villain film that nobody wants to win, body horror is shaking things up, we have a few underdogs in best picture, and none of the categories have an obvious winner imo. plus, nobody can really pin down the opinion of the voting block since so many of the previous awards were different winners
and I’m loving the contrast between good french (the substance) and evil french (emilia perez)
Also, two animated movies (Wild Robot and Flow) got nominations other than Best Animated. And for two that genuinely deserve it. You love to see it.

Part 2 of Wicked is definitely not going to be nominated lol I've seen the musical multiple times and the first half is really the best part of the entire story.
And a few hours after this video came out... The Director of the Emilia Perez saying that Spanish is "the language of poor people and immigrants". Let that sink in.
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Emilia Perez at all. At the surface it - hardly - portrays itself as being a progressive picture but people I personally know in both trans and Mexican communities strongly dislike it, thinking it was awfully exploitative.
I don't even care that people are offended by the movie - I just think it's a terrible movie.
I refuse to believe this film is better than LOTR, Gone with the Wind, Wall-En, Titanic, Avatar, Avengers End Game, Casablanca, It’s a Wonderful Life
All considered some of the greatest films ever made and were not nominated as much as this film.
The Oscars is a joke!
How most people feel about Dune Part 2 is how I feel about Nosferatu
I know it’s sooo special
Not defending blackface, but it doesn't hold the same meaning in Brazil as it does in the US
Mentira da p0rr4 viu! O movimento negro critica isso desde os anos 40, o abdias Nascimento CRIOU o teatro experimental do negro em 1944 justamente pra formar mais atores negros e tentar acabar com o uso do blackface nos teatros do Brasil. Pessoas negras brasileiras vêm falando isso há quase 80 anos já mas vcs r4cist4s de merda ignoram
it holds NO MEANING in brazil because thats an american-specific trauma
Eu nem sabia o que era blackface, descobri esses dias. Ela fez no fantastico e nínguém aqui ligou pra isso.
No one does that anymore, not even in Brazil. I agree it does not hold the same meaning that in the US, but it's not welcomed anymore. Time changes our perception on everything, and that's good.
Emilia Perez will win, taking the crown of worst Best Picture of all time from Crash (2004) which won for similar “reasons”
Crash was actually liked by critics (at least in its time), it won Best Picture because Brokeback Mountain was favored to win but Oscar voters were shifty about awarding a movie so pro-gay, so Crash was the "safe pick". This time the shoe is on the other foot.
Emilia Perez really has no pathway to Best Picture, it has to be favored to win Director and or screenplay, which it's not in contention for either. The Brutalist, Anora and Conclave stand more of a chance winning Best Picture than EP.
5:28 Nah, "Johanne Sacrebleu" is CRAZY 💀💀💀(Amazing comeback tho)
Manifesting anora winning so haaaard, they have the opportunity to give it to a Palm d’or winner from the us
Somehow EP got even messier within hours of you posting this. You might as well post weekly updates on the drama with this movie now.
My hot take : Everything Everywhere made The Substance consideration possible.
Anora was an incredible film. I never fall asleep watching films and I literally fell asleep during The Brutalist. Emilia Perez was horrendous and I barely got through half the film before walking out.
Lmao and the funniest thing is that today a video of Audiard saying spanish is only spoken in poor countries went viral and Karla blamed Torres' team for the hate the movie is getting 😂
12:50 actually ukranians did brought it all up back when sean baker and anora won award at cannes, but it didn't get a lot of transactions.
also borisov visited occupied crimea, as well as another actor mark.
thank you for bringing it up, so far you are the only one who mentioned that. thank you.
Ok but if Timmy wins and he and Adrian Brody embrace with a passing the touch moment, it’ll be all worth it honestly
How is Ralph Fiennes not in the conversation when he is overdue and carried Conclave 😅
The 'what will i have for dinner today' caught me off guard😂
I’ve always been a bit on the grey about the culture appropriation discourse… but nevermind, cause this move is the best example of culture appropriation I’ve come across in my Mexican life.
I don't care who wins, I just want Emilia Perez to lose
4:42 as a jewish Israeli, pretty much my whole family (grand grandparents) were killed in the holocaust. Now I'm not offended or anything, but this is just funny to me.
As another Jewish person, I’m more offended by the fact that many of the same people pretending to be offended are the same people who think that someone potentially being a Zionist is a bad thing.
@chickensalad3535 totally agree. I think the whole meaning of zionism was just butchered. I'm israeli too and witnessed it nonstop. People think that it's some violent racist ideology when it just means that jews should have a right to a country, and that's it.
Please do a Part 2!!
I can only imagine that the critics were paid to give positive reviews, because this movie is trash.
Excellent video!
I have never actively rooted against a film before, but I will be clapping for every Oscar Emilia Perez loses.
This video is already outdated with Karla Sofias tweets that resurfaced last night.
As a Canadian, I just love it when a fictional movie talks about real world American issues. /s
This is an all-timer video. Great work, Jonathan!
Are we gonna get the 2025 Film Drunk Award Nominations soon?
Jonathan, want to say thanks for providing some of the best content out here. Incredible video
Well if Netflix sent me money to like it I would probably not say it is crappy.
The way even more stuff happened after this video 😭😭
For comparison, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King only had 11 Oscar nominations, and somehow had zero nominations for acting.
johanne Sacrebleu is a delight.
The criticism of AI in The Brutalist and Brody's performance is Sophist at best. Film is artifice. Every single film. The only question is, to what degree? Simply editing a film shapes it and its performances. The moment you point a camera at something, you are by default deciding what you're NOT pointing the camera at. This makes both "truth" and aesthetic distance -- even in a documentary -- impossible.
(Edited for clarity)
Without starting a fight, but with Wicked singing live and other musicals being so good, I don't think Emilia Pérez should have won best musical at the Golden Globes. Zoe winning is fine, even if I don't like the movie or the proposal, the performances aren't bad, but best musical... I don't know. I also think Challengers and Dune Part 2 deserved more Oscar nominations, just as I think Emilia Pérez should have won fewer nominations...
A JOHANNE SACREBLEU MENTION, LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Emilia Pérez & The Brutalist controversies I hope works in Wicked, Conclave, Anora & A Complete Unknown favor!
"I'm still here" must save us from EP hahaha.
Emilia Perez IMDB rating from mexican votes is 3.1 !!! never saw any movie having such a low rating
I'm from Mexico, don't watch the movie, it's horrible, don't waste your money on that mediocrity, it's seriously not worth it.
