“A foreign, Spanish-language film, with a character who was a drug trafficker and who changes sex, starring a trans woman and a trans actress who could win an Oscar, nobody wanted it,” she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nGasc\u00f3n asserted that this campaign makes him “angry” and argued that, although art should be involved in politics, politics should not enter the artistic sphere.\n\n\n

But when politics gets into art, that’s when we go wrong,” he emphasized.\n\nAnd then he added: “There are many people who are determined to tell us what we can or cannot do (…) and which artists are valid, which are not, and what is valid and what is not. We are in great danger.”\n\nBut beyond the past controversy, Gasc\u00f3n wanted to express his satisfaction with the award they gave him today on the sidelines of the Venice Film Festival<\/strong>, in a hotel very close to the Palazzo del Cinema del Lido, where the official galas are held.\n\n“It’s wonderful, the truth is I’m very happy, it’s an incredible thing that they’re giving me an award at the Venice Film Festival with all these people, an award that very important people have received and I’m very happy,” he confessed.\n\nThe protagonist of ‘Emilia P\u00e9rez’ (2024) <\/strong>has been recognized as the best international actress by the Kin\u00e9o Awards, organized since 2002 by the Italian association of the same name and presented during the Mostra, although completely collaterally.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
