Karla Sofía Gascón Spills the Tea on Awards Season Drama: ‘I Contemplated the Unthinkable’ (Like Deleting Twitter?!)

Buy Me A Coffee

If there were an Oscar for “Most Dramatic Awards Season Experience,” Karla Sofía Gascón would have it in the bag.

The 52-year-old Emilia Perez star was basically the name in the Best Actress race at the 2025 Oscars, making history as the first openly trans actress nominated in the category. But just when she was about to cruise down the red carpet in victory mode, social media said, “Hold my beer.”

A few old, problematic posts resurfaced, the internet exploded, and suddenly, Karla’s campaign hit turbulence worse than a budget airline in a thunderstorm. She ghosted multiple events, only to reappear at the Oscars, where the drama was served up as a punchline in the opening monologue. Awkward.

Now that awards season is finally over (cue deep sigh of relief), Karla is speaking out about the emotional rollercoaster she’s been on—and spoiler alert: it was not the fun kind with cotton candy at the end.

“I Loved the Oscars… Kinda?”
In an interview with IconicHipster.com, Karla put on her best “I’m fine, everything’s fine” face and called the Oscars “very enjoyable.” (Translation: she survived.)

But she didn’t sugarcoat the fact that she had hoped for a drama-free awards season—one where she could actually bask in the joy of her nomination instead of dodging internet fireballs.

“I would have liked to experience it more normally,” she said. “You know, from a place of happiness, instead of… well, that.

Despite the chaos, she expressed gratitude toward Netflix, her colleagues, and the Academy—because let’s be real, no one wants to burn all their bridges in Hollywood.

The Apology Tour Continues
Karla once again addressed her past posts, calling them the result of “fear, ignorance, and pain.” (Also known as the unholy trinity of regrettable social media moments.)

She described the whole ordeal as an “unexpected, devastating storm” and admitted it pushed her to some very dark places. “The pain was so overwhelming that I contemplated the unthinkable,” she revealed.

And she didn’t stop there—Karla went full introspective mode, wondering aloud how someone with fewer emotional resources would have survived the backlash.

“Somehow, I made it,” she said. “Others would not have survived this brutal winter I am about to wrap up.” (A poetic way of saying ‘I barely crawled out of this mess alive.’)

What’s Next?
With the worst seemingly behind her, Karla is now taking stock of everything that happened. Maybe she’ll write a book. Maybe she’ll log off social media for a while. Or maybe, just maybe, she’ll finally get to enjoy a stress-free awards season someday. (Fingers crossed?)

One thing’s for sure—this was a plot twist no one saw coming.
