Karla Sofia Gascón, the star of Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez,” continues to face backlash over her past social media posts, putting the film's Oscars chances at risk.

Karla Sofía Gascón is a Spanish actress. She became the first transgender star to win the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress. She also became the first openly transgender actress to be nominated by the Academy for Best Actress. Gascón was born in Alcobendas, Spain, and decided to pursue an acting career at 16 years old.

Unfortunately, this could affect Karla's Emilia Pérez costar and Best Supporting Actress frontrunner, Zoe Saldaña. In the wake of Karla's damage control press tour, Variety changed its official Oscars prediction for the category from Zoe to Ariana Grande, suggesting that Zoe might end up being collateral damage.
