The eyes go to those who get on stage. For those who collect the award. For Those who convert nominations into prizes. This 2025 there is one that has more options than the rest … but that has been dotted with a great controversy related to one of its actresses.

The Academy has been clear about it. “Karla’s nomination is historical. It is really important and we respect it, but We do not approve the hate speech. All the nominees are invited to the event, and I hope that if it joins us, there is an air of respect. There are more than 200 nominees and it is a night that deals with more than a person, “says Bill Kramer, CEO of the Cinema Academy, in ‘The Hollywood Reporter’.
