This Netflix Star Was Basically Erased From Her Own Movie At The SAG Awards
Not only did the Spanish actor skip the award show, but she also seemed to have been largely cut from a segment highlighting the much-lauded musical crime comedy.
In a supercut of the film's highlights, its leading lady only appeared for a split second while supporting stars Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña took up most of the screen time.
Gascón has been keeping a low profile after a slate of offensive X posts she once made resurfaced late last month.
In the since-deleted posts, the actor denigrated Muslims, criticized diversity at the Oscars and called George Floyd a 'drug addict swindler.' Another post purported to be from Gascón described her co-star Gomez as a 'rich rat.'
Though she subsequently apologized for the 'hurt' her words may have caused in a statement through 'Emilia Pérez' distributor Netflix, she also complained about the backlash in separate interviews.
'I have been convicted and sacrificed and crucified and stoned without a trial and without the option to defend myself,' she told CNN Español earlier this month.
The SAG Awards were not the first event Gascón has chosen to skip this awards season. She was also conspicuously absent from this month's Critics Choice Awards, PGA Awards and the BAFTAs.
While the star has been avoiding the public eye since the controversy began, she is reportedly planning to attend next month's Oscars.
Gascón made history when she became the first transgender woman to be nominated for Best Actress.

Netflix Sets Date For ‘The Vince Staples' Show Season 2 [First Look Images]
Source: Courtesy / Netflix Vince Staples isn't done making us laugh, think, and question everything. Netflix just announced that The Vince Staples Show is officially returning for Season 2 this Fall. Read more and check out first look photos inside. According to Netflix's Tudum , the beloved satirical comedy series will make its return November 6 to the streaming platform. The Vince Staples Show is created by Staples along with Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams. The series first premiered in 2024 and immediately stood out for its mix of dry humor, social commentary, and slice-of-life storytelling. This time around, the show is expanding to six episodes instead of five, meaning fans will get even more absurd, hilarious, and thought-provoking moments from Vince's world. But don't expect smooth sailing for Staples' on-screen persona. According to Tudum , Season 2 picks up after a tragic death, sending Vince on a chaotic journey toward inner peace. Though his haunted past isn't letting go that easily, the series returns in true Vince fashion. It's equal parts funny, uncomfortable, and real. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The new season will also feature Vanessa Bell Calloway and Naté Jones as recurring guest stars, adding even more flavor to an already stacked mix of talent. Behind the camera, Kenya Barris, Corey Smyth, William Stefan Smith, Andrea Sperling, and Leonard Chang are all back as executive producers. When Netflix renewed the series, Staples made sure to hype it up in only the way he can. ' The Vince Staples Show is back,' he shared with excitement. 'The people have spoken and the most riveting, captivating, and polarizing show on Netflix is returning for Season 2. Get ready for hijinks that only a mother can love. Thank you, Netflix!' It's been a big year for Staples outside of TV too. His album Dark Times received critical acclaim, he earned a spot on the TIME100 Next list, and he stayed trending across social media for his signature quick wit. All of that momentum is rolling straight into Season 2, which promises to build on the mix of comedy, honesty, and social reflection that made the first season stand out. As Staples once told Tudum , the show works because it mirrors life itself. 'Next for Vince is literally anything because anything could happen at any moment,' Staples shared. 'That's just how life works.' Mark your calendars: Vince Staples is back November 6 on Netflix.

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Is Up Against Netflix's Big New Original Movie
What, just because a movie came out in June and two months later it's still #1 on Netflix, that means it can't be beaten? Well, so far, yes, that's what it means. It's only happened a few times, but when it's been knocked off the top, KPop Demon Hunters immediately recaptures #1 as it sails toward becoming what may be Netflix's most-watched original movie ever. But enter another Netflix original movie, this one starring one of summer's hottest actresses, Vanessa Kirby, and based on a best-selling book. Kirby is starring in Night Always Comes, a thriller that's a Netflix original adapting The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin back in 2021. Here's the synopsis: So not exactly a rom-com, then. The movie does not boast the most recognizable cast. Past Kirby, there's Jennifer Jason Leigh, Randall Park and that's kind of it. The movie is directed by Benjamin Caron, who, it turns out, actually did three episodes of Andor and 11 episodes of The Crown. Very nice! However, Night Always Comes appears to be…quite bad. The movie only has a 57% Rotten critic score and an even worse 43% audience score. This is competing with KPop Demon Hunters' 97% and 91% respectively. While Kirby had a great turn as Sue Storm in this summer's Fantastic Four over at Marvel, it appears this follow-up a few weeks later is not it. As for KPop Demon Hunters, what record shall we mention this week? Well it just got three songs inside the Billboard Top 10 list, which breaks several records across both KPop or movie soundtracks more generally. Again, every day that KPop Demon Hunters remains on top of Netflix's Top 10 list, it's extending a record run on that service. The latest news here is that the directors are now in active talks for a sequel, because of course they are. It is not impossible that Night Always Comes at least temporarily knocks KPop Demon Hunters down from #1, given that it's got a cool title, synopsis and Vanessa Kirby on the cover, but I would not put money on that. I have no idea when KPop Demon Hunters will finally, fully slide down the top 10 list here, but it's not going to be any time soon. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
