At the event, her film, Emilia Perez, in which she was the lead, was nominated for 12 and ended up winning seven awards at the ceremony, including one for best film.

For the unversed, Karla Sofia Gascon, after earning her nod in the Oscars for her role in Emilia Perez, faced instant and sever backlash over old tweets that resurfaced on social media.

These included her past Islamophobic comments and critiques over the religion Islam, the George Floyd case as well as the growing diversity of award show cultures.

But the actress has been constantly apologetic on multiple occasions after the controversy, even deactivating her X, formerly Twitter, opting to stay “silent.”

Award shows that Karla Sofia Gascon has skipped amid the controversy include the Critics Choice Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Oscar class photo and other events.
