Netflix has removed Karla Sofia Gascon from its Oscars promotional campaign for Emilia Perez, despite her historic Best Actress nomination. Fans noticed her absence from For Your Consideration (FYC) materials, sparking accusations of erasure. The controversy stems from her past social media remarks on George Floyd, Islam, and Oscars diversity, which have drawn backlash. Gascon denied being racist and refused to renounce her nomination, stating, “I have not committed any crime.” The debate over Netflix’s move has intensified, with critics calling it politically motivated. Zoe Saldana, a Best Supporting Actress nominee, remains central to Netflix's campaign.
