Why is Emilia Pérez’ star Karla Sofía Gascón facing backlash and controversy? What did she say in tweets? Read a recap ahead of the Oscars.

The film's director Jacques Audiard basically condemned her, and then he changed his mind the second someone handed him another award for the film. So it goes!
