Why Spanish speakers are angry about Emilia Perez, who wins the best song “Oscar”

“Oscar” is a time when the whole film industry brings together to celebrate the movie, pay tribute to people who create your favorite movies to make stupid comedic procedures between rewards. But they are also where Hollywood can demonstrate how much he is unable to the general public, rewarding movies that are at best contradictory and despise at worst.

In 2025, the main contradictory favorite of Oscar was “Emilia Perez”, a terrible bad musical of a Mexican lawyer, who helps the Sadist killer of the Mexican cartel -Bosa to move into a woman, evading her crimes, securing her death and judging a new person. The film initially premiere at the Cannes Film Festival is an event known for ignoring disputes around the directors whose films they screens and for rewarding very controversial films. In 2024, the jury award went to the movie “Emilia Perez”, which at the time received positive reviews of critics attending the prestigious festival. Perhaps this was due to the bias of the festival, the drunken glamor of the ditches, Aperol Spritz drank a few minutes before the show, or just a very questionable taste. For comparison, /Jeremy Matthew’s own movie was less generous in his reviewcalling it “half -completed experiment.”

Regardless of the initial response from the predominantly white critics in Cannes, after its broader release it quickly became apparent that the overall audience is a particularly strange audience, people from Mexico and Spanish performances at all – not only did not like the movie: they absolutely hated it. Outside to be Quite an incorrect attempt by Trans -stories“Emilia Perez” has become a symbol of the performeal presentation: Mexican struggle and culture that are operated for the fun of nemexies (there are virtually no people involved in Mexican people in the film). Mexican director Camila Aurora created a revenge for Emilia Perez Music Short “Johanna Cafe”, Master Class in Parody Art.

Fortunately, when the “Oscar” 2025 officially ended, the Spanish speakers of the annual speakers should finally be made, because we will no longer have to talk and think about “Emilia Perez”. However, there was one last offensive gift during the ceremony before Emilia Perez received the best original song.

When Mick Jagger presented the nominees for the best original song, the audience saw the clips of every nominated song, which was accompanied by a brief speech by the author’s song, which explains what they had done special or what they especially liked in the process. During the clip for “Mi Camino” one of the two songs “Emilia Perez”, nominated for the award, the French performer Camil accidentally mentioned his admiration for the Spanish language. “Spanish is such a wonderful language for pop music.”

Yes, it was a degree of this, nothing more. Here is the French author of songs with zero ties with the Hispanic country, not knowing the language she speaks, only mentioning the language in which the songs are written. When Camille and Clament Dukol came on stage after Win the reward for your song “El Mal”, It was mentioned about Mexico about Spanish: nothing. They tried to talk about the “importance” of their song in denunciation of corruption and their hope that art could be “the power of good and progress in the world.”

The answer immediately became hostile. There were a lot on the Internet, which came out of the Camille for her rather rigid attempt, so that the Oscar viewers join her, singing the improvised song (they joined little and played out of the stage). And there was also indignation about winning the song, despite the fact that it is usually written and obviously the work of the one who does not know the language in which they write.

From the moment the clips from Emilia Perez began to emerge on the Internet, the songs had a broad indignation and showcase, which obviously sounded that they were written by the one who did not know Spanish and did not seek the help of who does. There is constant use Lyrics that sound the way they have been written using Google TranslateAnd others that simply make no sense in context. “Bienvenida”, a song performed by Selena Gomez in the film, repeatedly abuses certain words and phrases. Even if it was not the song that won the Oscar, many see a simple fact that the film received the award for what the writing of the song was abusive.

At every turn, the directors and people who participate in Emilia Perez at best ignored the disputes over the film, and at the worst case made condescending remarks that the shelters earned everywhere. First, there was an interview in which director Jacques Audioard stated that he did not feel the need to do any research in Mexico, his culture or even stories engaged in drug cartels, which caused the audience indignation, which considered that the director simply exploits the tragedy in real life for visual fragrance.

Recently Audiard has worse, giving a metaphorical middle finger approximately 600 million in the world Saying that Spanish is the language of “poor and migrants”. At every turn, instead of just acknowledged criticism and how the Mexican audience suffered from this production, the people involved in Emilia Perez went to defend and deteriorate everything.

Immediately after winning the “Oscar replied to criticism by Mexican journalist Saying that the film was “really harmful to us by Mexicans”, saying that “the heart of this movie was not Mexico.” According to the plain, the film is just a versatile story about friendship, and the mood is just a window dressing. It happened a few minutes after Saldan made a hot speech about the representation and was a child of Hispanic immigrants.

Emilia Perez has reached something rare. He has everywhere in the common cause to hate this poor, offensive, racist imagination of Mexico and Spanish, which was somehow awarded for his word in the same language. At least now that the rewards are over, this movie can go to so many Oscar winners that no one remembers.
