Gascón also emphasized that she wants to be recognized for her talent, not just for being part of a particular community. She expressed that sometimes people think awards are given because of a person’s background, which can be frustrating. “I want people to focus on my performance and what I bring to the role, not just who I am,” she said.
She praised director Jacques Audiard and the French crew for making Emilia Pérez a Spanish-language film and submitting it for Oscar consideration. She found it impressive, considering how proud the French are of their own language and culture.
Emilia Pérez will be available to stream on Netflix starting November 13. Fans are excited to see Gascón’s performance and how her journey toward a possible Oscar nomination unfolds.
