The Academy Awards will apparently avoid a looming embarrassment for this year's show and won't be asking any past winners to take to the stage and speak glowingly about "Emilia Pérez" star and Best Actress nominee Karla Sofía Gascón.

Karla Sofía Gascón, the Oscar-nominated star of “Emilia Pérez,” has deactivated her X account and apologized after social media posts she had made disparaging George Floyd, Islam and a previous Academy Award ceremony resurfaced this week.

She called lesbianism an "evil, horrible, unnatural perversion" and called Islam "incompatible with Western values."

Five days after Karla Sofía Gascón’s racially insensitive social media history was exposed, Netflix has yet to comment about the 'Emilia Pérez' star.

When it was announced last month that Karla Sofía Gascón had been nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars, it made headlines around the world. The news was hailed as a positive moment as the 52-year-old Emilia Perez star became the first-ever openly trans individual to be nominated for an Academy Award in any acting category.
