Actor and producer Eduardo Verástegui expressed his surprise at the nomination of Karla Sofía Gascón as "Best Actress" at the Oscars. Starting his message with the phrase: “I just found out that this MAN is on the list of nominees for Best ACTRESS,” Verástegui pointed out that Gascón had previously called him shameless.
"Shameless is taking away a nomination from a woman by using ideology and victimization to occupy a place on the NOMINEES list that doesn't belong to her," Verástegui expressed on his social media. He continued by adding, "Shameless is displacing women from spaces that were historically theirs by imposing their self-perception over common sense."
The nomination of Karla Sofía Gascón generated various opinions, including that of Verástegui, who questioned Gascón's inclusion in the Best Actress category for her participation in the film 'Emilia Pérez'. The actor emphasized what he considers an injustice in relegating women from spaces that historically belonged to them, using ideology and victimization as arguments.
Verástegui's statements have sparked debate regarding Gascón's nomination and how her inclusion in the list of Oscar nominees has been interpreted. Meanwhile, Gascón and her film 'Emilia Pérez' continue to generate attention in the film industry and a dialogue about the limits and selection criteria in renowned award ceremonies like the Oscars.
