Neither Lady Gaga’s clean-faced interpretation, nor Rihanna’s paunchy, nor the speeches of Brendan Fraser or Jamie Lee Curtis… The debate that has half of Spain sleepless has to do with Ana de Armas and her accent during a red carpet interview at the 2023 Oscars.
Because defenders and detractors debate with examples, reactions, memes, and a lot of humor in the face of the American accent which the interpreter showed during her meeting with the Spanish press moved to the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles where she went be Oscar nominee for her Marilyn Monroe biopic.
“It’s a shame that Marilyn never had the recognition (of the #Oscars nomination). But I’m very proud, to be able to interpret her life from a more intimate and more human point of view. If that is the gratitude, welcome it.” Ana de Armas #Oscars95 #Oscars2023″ can be read in the tweet that MovistarCine published and which generated thousands of interactions.
Among those who question this curious accent, there are messages of all kinds: “When did you forget to speak Spanish?”, “Why do you speak like that?” or “It reminds me a lot of the accent of the red pencils of Beatriz Luengo” were among the most commented. Immediately many were those who found this accent logical: “Let’s see if we travel more, the accents will ‘stick’ faster than we think”.
Among those who consider that the accent is something normal because Ana de Armas is not only Cuban but has also lived in the United States for several years and speaks English, actresses like Elisa Mouliaa who wanted to close the debate like this: “Oh how lazy are the comments yes You speak English all day, it’s normal for you to come out and it even costs you your native language. You haven’t seen Spanish anywhere in the world? Brava Ana and her well-deserved nomination, her work is overwhelming”.
“It’s a pity that Marilyn never got the recognition (of the nomination for #Oscars). But I am very proud to be able to interpret his life from a more intimate and more human point of view. If it’s recognition, welcome it.” Ana de Armas #Oscars95 #Oscars2023 pic.twitter.com/Mk5xjrJzVi

But no one was going to let him close like that: “He’s been coming and going in Spain for 8 years. On the other hand, Antonio Banderas has been living in the United States for much longer and doesn’t talk like that.”
Unfortunately, the actress couldn’t win the Oscar but she made it clear that she was the big protagonist of the carpet with her accent and her spectacular dresses.
