From HE commenter Fabio Silva (posted today):
“While doing press in Brazil Karla Sofía Gascón accused the “Fernanda Torres team” (i.e., those representing Walter Salles‘ I’m Still Here, in which Torres stars) and “those around her” (her words) of talking badly about her and Emilia Pérez in social media, adding that this “says more about them and their picture than about herself (Karla)”.
“While Oscar campaigns are known to be dirty, and I certainly wouldn’t put my hand in the fire for Sony Pictures in this occasion, this is the first time that I can remember in which a major nominee has accused a fellow nominee by name [of playing dirty pool].
“This is a violation of Academy rules.
“Waldemar Dalenogare is a Brazilian journalist and member of the Critic’s Choice Association.”
Essa entrevista aqui é lamentável. Já tinha avisado desde o começo de janeiro: Netflix usa a Karla na linha de frente da campanha para criar uma narrativa que as críticas ao filme não são orgânicas. E aos poucos vão tentando colar isso nos brasileiros. https://t.co/0JvFqaYtRz
