Emmy Awards: The appearance of Sofia Vergara deemed sexist

Beyond the glitter and the consecration of the Breaking Bad series, a passage from the 66th Emmy Awards ceremony made teeth cringe.

Sofia Vergara, star of the Modern Family series, is mounted on a 360 degree rotary podium to exhibit his sexy curves while Bruce Rosenblum, predict him of the Academy of Arts and Television Sciences, declared that the Academy was"More diversified than it has never been".Draped in a white dress, the Colombian actress plays the game for a few moments by proudly posing, hands on the hips, a frozen smile on the lips before protest: "Enough, enough!That's why I stopped the Auto lounges! ”Visibly satirical and provoking the laughter of the public, the initiative did not please everyone.

For the time, "Sofia Vergara was literally placed on a pedestal in a totally sexist passage".According to the American magazine, the little game could have been the occasion for a salutary criticism of the way the actresses are "hypersexualized".However, "the second part of the joke has never come," deplores Sarah Begley.Instead, Bruce Rosenblum concluded: "What really matters is that we never forget that our success comes from the fact that we always give something fascinating to watch the spectator.Pronounced at the same time that Sofia Vergara was in representation, the declaration had something annoying for many observers.

On Twitter, this internet user did not taste the joke and assures that the actress was exhibited "like a car".Another Twitto: "Is it me or is it super sexist?"

Sofia Vergara defended himself by denying any sexism in performance: "I think it's quite the opposite.It means that someone can be hot and funny while doing self-mockery, "she said.

The feminist site Jezebel is not of the same opinion and ensures that "it has literally been treated as an object".And the journalist of Fusting Stephen Colbert, presenter of the satirical program The Colbert Reporter, who vaguely apologized for using only one woman during the ceremony."I would like to thank all those who are not on stage and who worked on the show.I am so proud of these guys - and a woman.Sorry for that, ”he regretted.A "gender-cap" in the television industry underlined by the Buzzfeed site: this year, 26% of nominees for "Emmys" were women.
