Karla Sofía Gascón Pulls Out of Awards Season Amid Controversy

Oscar-nominated actress Karla Sofía Gascón will not attend this week’s awards season gatherings, including the AFI Awards and Critics Choice Awards, due to a controversy surrounding her recent social media posts. The films’ distribution rights in the US, Canada, and the UK are owned by Netflix, which has invested millions in the film’s awards push. Tensions between Gascón and Netflix have been high since she made comments about the film without consulting or coordination with the streaming giant. As a result, Netflix is reportedly not providing usual courtesies such as transportation and accommodations to facilitate her attendance. Gascón may still attend other events closer to home, like Spain’s version of the Oscars, but her absence from this week’s awards season gatherings has left many wondering how her co-stars will address the situation when accepting their top prizes.
