The actress’s old social media posts have threatened to derail the film’s Oscar campaign, but backlash has been building for months for other reasons.

Oscar-nominated ‘Emilia Pérez’ star Karla Sofía Gascón wants to "let the work talk for itself," she said in an Instagram post offering an apology "to everyone who has been hurt" by the controversies surrounding her resurfaced words on social media.

Karla's own Oscar win may be out of reach, but a word of advice to the actor: If you want to enjoy Oscar night and support your co-stars, stop being so defensive. The Academy is nothing if not forgiving, so try taking accountability. At this point, what do you have to lose?
