The Ringer – Brian Phillips – ‘Emilia Pérez’: An All Too Necessary FAQ

Phil has a question:

Could the Academy have deliberately nominated Emilia Pérez, a movie about a Mexican Trans-woman, just to aggravate Donald the demented deporter and all of his self-righteous right wingnut supporters.

Why should a few off the cuff comments destroy Karla Sofía Gascón chances for best actress in Emilia Pérez, when the Americans elected a sociopathic, narcissistic,  racist, misogynist sex pervert who has exhibited nothing other than immature, selfish self-interest his entire life as their President.
