‘Emilia Perez' slammed amidst 13 Oscar nominations

Emilia Perez, a Mexican film, is receiving criticism from viewers after scoring 13 Oscar nominations.

The Netflix musical has received mixed reviews after being originally released in 2024.

Following the release of the Oscar nominations, users took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to give their thoughts, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

One person wrote, “I can’t even wrap my head around ‘Emilia Pérez’ getting THIRTEEN (13!!!) #Oscars nominations. Quite possibly the worst movie ever (mid-scores from audiences & critics) to get double digit nominations. Baffling.”

“It breaks my heart because Zoe Saldana absolutely deserves Academy recognition… But not for THIS film. So many better films and performances she has, but they’re anchoring THIS movie to her in terms of best roles… Hell nah,” criticized another.

Others called out the overall selection of nominees, as one user stated, “This years best picture Oscar nominees just might be the nail in the Oscar coffin. I’ve never seen a worse batch of movies to be nominated…. Nothing to cheer for.”

Emilia Perez snagged some  major accolades earlier this year, winning the Jury Prize at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, as well as the Best Actress award.
