The fact that this movie crushed Dune 2 in Oscar noms is one big JOKE. They even beat Dune for best music when Dune’s score SLAPPED. I bet Denis regrets making those nice comments now! Josh Brolin is right to be PISSED.

[@ProuvaireJean]

I liked Emilia Perez quite a lot, but loved Dune 2. It definitely deserved more nominations than it got, including adapted screenplay and director.

[@animationdude5]

Agreed that Emilia Perez was over nominated, but to be fair, not technically that film's fault that caused Dune 2's snub in best score. The original score for Dune Part 2 was disqualified by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences before nominating ballots even went out to voters. They said too much of the score repeated from the first film, which no longer qualifies it as "original". Voters were never given the choice to nominate Dune Part 2 for score at all.

[@kostantza1]

Sis, that bitch Emilia is up against Nosferatu for Costumes and Makeup....Idek anymore. Nosferatu very pointedly was snubbed too.

[@WastedPo]

I honestly think part Dune's snubbing is due to the Academy's notorious short-term memory. Most movies that want Oscars release around Nov/Dec because of this. It legit feels like Dune 2 came out ages ago.

México has produced some of the finest actors, many of whom are famous to American audiences. The casting director should never work again if this is the kind of lazy effort she thought was good enough.

[@CosmicPotato]

I mean, Emilia Perez shouldn't have been nominated to begin with... I think it's more of an indictment of the Academy that they nominated this film for so many categories to begin with, and it took THIS much backlash in order for it to only possibly, maybe not win awards... Even then, the damage is done--Emilia Perez was still nominated in categories it has no business in, taking spots that should have gone to much more deserving films/talent.

It’s kind of the meta of the controversy, because this idea that one marginalized part of your identity makes you a good person by default is one of the main criticisms of the plot of the movie, so it’s interesting that it might have been the same faulty thinking going on in real life too. These were not even old tweets they were only a couple years back so I feel no effort was taken at all to look at the kind of human Gascon is beyond her trans identity, which is exactly the issue with the script as well, super interesting imo.

It’s true. In that context, I wouldn’t mind. They just have to engrave “SURVIVOR” on it or something. Zoe Saldaña should get an award for the industry itself. After waiting so long, I regret for her win to be stained in any way.

[@chrisf5828]

I am not sure Saldana deserves it at all. It is an impressive performance but so are a lot of others. She is the lead actress (literally) in a worthless movie, so what did she really accomplish? She obviously didn't save it.

[@Alejandroigarabide]

@@chrisf5828 What about an honorary award for surviving that circus?

[@KC2.049]

@@Alejandroigarabide between this and that Nina Simone biopic, I honestly think Saldana needs to go outside and think about her life choices for a minute

[@bobcobb3654]

I’m betting most Academy voters who selected Emilia Perez for nominations didn’t actually see it, but heard Netflix’s publicity push and reflexively voted to nominate because they didn’t want social media groups calling them transphobic.

[@brycebitetti1402]

I think it's less that, and more that they saw it as some "symbolic resistance" to all of the shit going down under Trump and conservative attacks on trans rights. Of course, Hollywood is comprised of out of touch idiots who think that their approval of a movie they didn't see would somehow benefit trans people in any way, let alone that the movie is so shit it's genuinely offensive to the trans community for its depiction of them.

[@stormtraitor6545]

They probably just saw keywords like; “Mexican cartel”, “Musical” and “Transgender” and thought; “SLAAAYY! 13 nominations, bitch!”

Wow, are you kidding me? I've seen a video videos on this controversy and thought that when they mentioned this one song 2:49 they were just exaggerating a bit. How can a movie get this bad?

I dont want to hear anything about Joker 2 being the worst of 2024 ever again.

It's no longer the worst 2024 musical anymore!

[@starhanie]

This move was so bad (for me) that I genuinely felt I had to rearrange every rating I'd given any movie before (even Dark Phoenix) and that was before further issues started arising. Lord almighty. It's baffling that Emilia Perez has gained such awards notoriety.

[@andrefiremaster]

"This movie was so bad it made me think Dark Phoenix was good" is an all time burn

OMG she actually said "I got Muslim friends" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I find baffling Gascon believes someone would need to buy a team to smear her name. It's a organic because she's a terrible person.

[@Freddos11]

Spaniards and racism, name a more iconic duo.

[@victorsimoneen3771]

Thanks Dan, I'm Mexican, and Emilia Perez is a mockery of our culture and language, and the fact that the academy ignores our opinion about a movie that takes all from Mexico makes us feel completely ignored, and that the opposite of representation.

[@marisse_bel]

We were gaslighted for months before this many people noticed... Thank you, Brazil!

[@griseldadominguez8734]

@victorsimoneen3771 you have to remember that they only care about representation from the "right" minorities trans, black but Mexicans we are not the "pretty" minorities

[@gloriathomas3245]

There's no Mexican culture, because Mexico's culture is historically Eurocentric owing to the fact that Mexico is a former colony of Spain and retained many cultural aspects of Spain long after independence. Even Spanish is a European language.

[@tronam]

@@gloriathomas3245 The United States has no culture either because we're just a melting pot of immigrants from around the world.

[@mercurialfunk]

The first thing I heard about this movie was the Mexican parody of it, Johanne Sacrebleu lmao

[@Erasureeraser]

It'd be hilarious if the Oscars mix up the envelope again by saying Emilia Perez as the winner first because they read EP's Best International envelope win instead it should've gone to somebody else like The Brutalist or Conclave 😂 Please let this happen again, it's just a perfect timing 😂

[@Erasureeraser]

At this point, I don't know how can she show up at award shows. If she knows shame, she shouldn't attend the next few award shows at all given that her tweet has been screenshot but literally everybody. Especially with Conan hosting the Oscars, I don't wanna see anyone including her messing up that show

[@CharlieLaraa]

Amazing video, Dan. I still can’t belive that Karla Sofia is nominated instead of Vic Carmen Sonne for The Girl with the Needle

[@KherMoon]

Your were right, something else happened just today 😅 Karla arranged an hour long TV Interview with CNN (seemingly on her own, without consulting the movie team), basically making things worse 😅😅 the video is great anyway!! Love your approach to all these recent movie controversies!

[@mzzy03]

Based on her "apologies" she sounds narcissistic and just a horrible person overall.

[@crvlad]

HE

[@CresentSoul]

@@crvladare you getting irritated?

[@RedMartianSkylight]

Indeed she does. It's frustrating because when I first heard about the movie, I was very interested because I thought they're putting a trans actress in the lead role and the story is going to be focused around her life. Then I learned more about the story, saw more about the script, listened to my other friends who are trans, listened to my friends from Mexico who explained that this movie was a joke of representation for them, too, and I just had that bad feeling, and looked at Karla herself and it was like "damn, this is awful!"

[@Tamajyn69]

"If you don't like it go make your own movie" They did Karla. It's called I Saw The TV Glow. It also came out last year and it's an infinitely better, more genuine, honest and sincere dissection of the trans experience. Also jfc at the "I can't be racist because I have a muslim friend" like that has to have been satire right?

[@MrBlackLenses]

I was hoping you’d cover this, it’s been an insane story

[@chrisokeeffe3895]

The Best Actress Oscar Nom needs to be revoked. You cannot have that woman represented at the awards.

[@hanonaputrus54443]

I mean this is the same academy that nominated Mel Gibson 10 years ago and Roman Polanski lol they’re not gonna change

[@mcwyman7928]

You can only revoke a nomination if they broke academy rules, which I don't think they did, even though it seems like everyone who made that movie is a shit person lol

[@rafaelmarkos4489]

​@@mcwyman7928The attacks on Torres are a gray area in terms of legality, so... I don't know which way they will go.

​@@hanonaputrus54443Polanski is a criminal but once Peter Jackson was not nominated his Oscars were well deserved.

[@duckywinks]

And Karla Sofia Gascon had to do an hour long interview playing the victim the moment this video was uploaded. This movie is the gift that keeps on giving.

[@spacespino]

Let us also not forget that the reason Selena Gomez was cast according to the Casting Director was beacuse there were no Mexican actors talented enough to portray her character.

[@Erasureeraser]

It seems like pressing that translate button in Gascon's tweet was just like a getting a death threat. It's so crazy that she hates literally everyone including Selena Gomez. The tweet seems a bit odd at first, until you clicked that translate button 😂😂

[@zed-up]

It's insane to think that the chances of Emilia Perez winning Oscars dropped so low this quickly by its own hurdles. I can't think of any other movie bringing me this much entertainment without watching that I didn't even knew existed a few weeks ago

[@JoseRiveroll]

Im from Mexico and let me tell you Dan, you explain this so perfectly and shout out to Johanne Sacrebleu!

[@ECKohns]

Notice that some of the people in the industry who have praised the movie are either associated with the lead actresses (James Cameron and Meryl Streep) or associated with Netflix (Guillermo del Toro).

[@gabelogan5877]

Don’t forget that James Cameron praised the last two terminator films because Arnold’s on them but he then recanted his statements after they bombed

Also in the Movie Chain “Cinépolis” they market Emilia Pérez as a guarantee good movie and a lot of people ask for refunds, on a level that even PROFECO (goverment protector of consumer goods) intervene so they give the money back, it’s been a blast

[@melissacarrillo2360]

I have been waiting for your coverage!!! I wanted a review but this is much better

[@PHlophe]

Chula, your comment matches your sonrisa.

[@jorgevillarreal3828]

You forgot the whole drama with “Cinepolis” the main movie theater chain in Mexico. Basically Cinepolis calls each movie in their theaters a “guaranteed film”. However, under Mexican law every service or product with a “guaranteed” label is up for consumer scrutiny and if the consumer doesn’t like it he or she is entitled for a refund. So people in Mexico after watching this movie in theaters ( the movie was only in theaters and not on Netflix in México) where asking for their money back in rows lol. It got so bad that the Mexican government had to intervene.

[@AvidVisuals]

Really good breakdown of the whole story!

[@ShaneRob93]

What a mess, and its largely self-inflicted. Reminds me of that meme of the guy putting a stick through the spokes of his bike tire, falling over and then saying "why have you done this?" I will say that it's supremely fortunate that this happened to a film that has so many issues to begin with, perhaps the Oscars dodged a self-inflicted bullet (hopefully they aren't so deaf and blind as to still give it awards).

[@ramonecricket5183]

Wait, wait...Selena Gomez is the ex-wife?! I thought for sure she had to be Emilia Perez's daughter. That's just another stupid-sounding thing about this movie.

[@ximechata]

yeah, the reason she seems so young in comparison is because they reveal in like the last minutes of the movie that emilia groomed selena’s character and married her when she was a teenager 💀

[@theprowler18]

Even with the sex change, Perez bangs another woman on the side. To make it even better, a woman whom had someone killed by his Cartel. You can't make this shit up, this is literally part of the film.
