The details of the 90th Oscar awards ceremony continue to be circulated on Brazilian social media and, unfortunately, there is nothing to be celebrated for one detail. It turns out that TNT commentator Rubens Ewald Filho was unfortunate when he made a transphobic joke with actress Daniela Vega. The moment the artist took the podium, together with director Sebastián Leilo, to receive the award for Best Foreign Language Film for “A Fantastic Woman”, Ewald said: “This girl is actually a boy”, belittling the genre of the film. actress. The prejudiced comment had repercussions on social media and internet users quickly fired at the commentator: “Ewald Filho speaks Portuguese, English and lots of shit”, said one internet user. “Someone ban this man from commenting on anything,” said another. Moments later, TNT recanted through its social media profile, stating that Chilean Daniela Vega “is a woman. And what a woman!” Rumors claim that Rubens Ewald Filho will not comment on awards shows on the network again.
