Post -director Jacques Audiard And co -stars Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez Has all shared their own reactions to the fall around Oscar-nominated ”Emilia Pérez“Lead Karla Sofía Gascón’s offensive tweets to be discovered, filmdistributor Netflix has finally weighed the controversy through Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria appear on the podcast ”The city with Matthew Belloni. “
“You know what I think really is a bummer for a hundred very incredibly talented people who made a fantastic movie, and if you watch the nominations, and all these types of awards it has received, I think it’s such a mute it is distracted from it, “said Netflix -Managing Director when she asked for her first reaction to Gascón’s tweets.” It has really taken the conversation in a different way, with the exception of this incredible movie like Jacques Audiard, which is an incredible director, have done. And so for me, it really is a mute for many people who, like zoe and selena, incredible performances.
Bajaria also gave Kudos to the awards ceremony on Netflix, which had worked against “Emilia Pérez” Crushes the Oscar nomination record for a movie not an EnglishWith 13 nods. Former record holder “Roma” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” got only 10. “They have been out and campaigns for six months, and then to make it blast as it is really unfortunate,” she said. “Our award team made an incredible campaign for that movie. They also personally love it and took care of it, and it was an incredible campaign. “
In the end, even with how things have shaken out, Bajaria does not show any regrets in Netflix that acquires “Emilia Pérez” out Cannes 2024After it won the jury award and best actress for her four leading ladies. “The most difficult thing is that it really makes it kind of a movie that is so special. And if you asked me today everything I know, we would still buy the movie today, ”she said. “That movie is incredible and it is creative and it is bold. And that’s what you want. You want to take the big swings. And so yes, there are extremely talented people who made the movie that, by the way, reasoned with many people this year. ”
Even given the relapse, the film had already received, when it comes to its quality, Netflix officer said: “People must get over it. It is a creatively interesting and fun and good movie. ”
Bajaria, however, is considering a change in Netflix policy about Vetting Talent’s social media, but the extent of Netflix, a global company, complicates the issue. “We will actually look at people’s personal social media of tens of thousands of people every day around the world, of the amount of original film and television that we do and licensing and co-pro,” she asked. “When you kind of extrapolate it, in a greater way, what it means – and this is people’s personal social media – but see, I think it raises many kinds of questions for people, like what should it look like? “
