Karla Sofia Gascon is set to attend the 2025 Oscars

Karla Sofia Gascon, who is nominated for Best Actress for her role in Emilia Perez, is now expected to attend the 2025 Academy Awards. Despite skipping most of the awards season events due to past controversial tweets resurfacing, reports suggest that Gascon will be present at the Oscars.

Initially, Netflix had pulled back its financial support for Gascon’s awards campaign, including covering her travel and accommodations for industry events. However, the streaming giant has now decided to fund her attendance at the Oscars, according to Variety. The reason behind this change of stance remains unclear.

While Gascon’s presence at the ceremony is confirmed, it is still uncertain whether she will walk the red carpet or participate in media interviews. Additionally, there is speculation about whether she will be seated with her Emilia Perez co-stars, including Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez, or if she will be placed separately.

Throughout the awards season, Gascon had been absent from major events, making this appearance particularly notable. Her nomination itself has been a significant milestone, but the controversy surrounding her resurfaced tweets led to a complicated awards campaign. Netflix’s decision to initially withdraw its support sparked discussions in the industry, especially since the film has been generating buzz.

The 2025 Academy Awards will be broadcast live on ABC and will also stream on Hulu on Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. The official red carpet pre-show will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT. It remains to be seen whether Gascon’s appearance at the event will be a quiet one or if it will attract further attention.
