‘Emilia Pérez’ controversies didn’t stop it from dominating the Oscars nominations

Every year without fail, an “Oscars villain” rises from the shadowy depths to wreak havoc and chaos on film bros across the globe. Last year saw Bradley Cooper’s contentious Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro wear that crown, and this year, that particular honor goes to the Spanish-language musical, Emilia Pérez.

Although it totes itself as “an opera that’s not an opera,” Netflix and Pathé’s Emilia Pérez has seemingly hit all the wrong notes with Film Twitter since its premiere in November 2024. Why?

However, director Jacques Audiard, a Frenchman, chose to shoot the movie in France, making for seriously disorienting visuals that—predictably—look nothing like the neighborhoods of Mexico City.
