Actress Karla Sofía Gascón recently found herself in the middle of a new controversy after supposedly attacking Fernanda Torres, a situation that nearly cost her an Oscar nomination. In an interview, Karla Sofía Gascón expressed her love for Brazil and criticized those who seemed to compete with Fernanda Torres on social media, mentioning: 'I haven't seen anyone from 'Emilia Pérez' or anyone praising 'Emilia Pérez' say that Fernanda Torres or 'I'm still here' is a bad movie or doesn't deserve the awards.' It is worth noting that Fernanda Torres won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her performance in 'Vou te amar.'
Karla Sofía Gascón starred in the movie 'I'm still here' which competes against 'Emilia Pérez' for the Oscar in the Best International Feature Film category, generating the apparent rivalry between the two. The actress commented that her experience on social media was marked by negative comparisons with Fernanda Torres and comments suggesting that the latter deserved more recognition than her.
Internet users indicated that Karla Sofía Gascón could be sanctioned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as the Oscar rules prohibit making negative comments about other award candidates. In response, the actress defended herself stating: 'I am a big fan of Fernanda Torres and it has been wonderful to get to know her in the last few months. In my recent comments, I was referring to the toxicity and the violent hate speech on social media that I unfortunately continue to experience.'
Fernanda Torres, for her part, is a recognized Brazilian actress, daughter of iconic actors Fernanda Montenegro and Fernando Torres, which provided her with a family environment connected to the arts from an early age. With a notable filmography that includes titles such as 'Eu Sei,' 'Vou te amar,' 'A marvada carne,' 'Os normais,' and its sequel, Torres, 59 years old, has built an extensive career in the entertainment industry.
