Netflix's chief content officer, Bela Bajaria, addressed the controversy surrounding the resurfaced offensive social media posts of Oscar contender Karla Sofia Gascon, emphasizing disappointment that it overshadowed the film's achievements. With 13 nominations, Bajaria acknowledged the hard work of the cast and awards team but noted the need for discussions on preventive measures regarding talent's past online behavior. While recognizing the overwhelming challenge of monitoring social media for all associates, she hinted at a potential policy reevaluation to better manage similar situations in the future.
I think it's really a bummer for the 100 incredibly talented people who made an amazing movie... that it distracted from that.
It really has kind of taken the conversation in a different way [from] this incredible movie that Jacques Audiard has made.
I do think it is raising questions... about re-evaluating that process.
Given the amount of original film and TV... it raises a lot of questions about what that should look like.
