So, Noor, how well known was Cala Sofia Gascon before this movie?

So, Noor, how well known was Cala Sofia Gascon before this movie?

The best actress category is always so highly anticipated. And Gascon stood a really good chance, it seemed, before all of this, because, you know, the first trans actress to win, it would have been quite a moment. But do you really think this has totally put aside her chances?

Thanks so much, Noor. I know you're off to LA for the Oscars. Have a fabulous time. Thank you. Very excited. So we've heard how the hype around Emilia Perez turned sour. Next, how does this moment compare to other Hollywood scandals of the past? And should a movie be defined by those who make it? Hi, Matthew. Hello. Now tell me, have you seen the movie?

Yeah, and you had a scoop of your own when it came to this story, Matthew, because it's Netflix that's distributing the film. And you managed to get quite a reaction from the content officer, the chief content officer of Netflix on tape that made headlines all over the world. What did she tell you?

That will come as a surprise to a lot of people. But Matthew, is that just standard practice that they don't do that kind of deep research? I mean, it's not even that deep, is it? It's simply going onto someone's social media account and looking at what they've been up to.

Yeah, and she's not just a minor character in one of these films. She's a trans actress, which was going to bring a lot of attention for one thing. And she is the lead character. The whole film is built around her.

This isn't the first time, though, Matthew, that a film has suffered a serious PR hit during awards seasons, though, is it?

Because it had quite a lot of criticism as well.

You know, Matthew won Best Picture and the Oscars, so it survived.

Is there a credible argument, Matthew, to what some people say, which is that Gascon is being held to a different standard to other people?
