Emilia Pérez actress Karla Sofía Gascón has made Academy Awards history by becoming the first openly transgender person to be nominated for an acting Oscar.
The movie follows a high-powered lawyer named Rita, who is hired by a Mexican cartel leader (Gascón) to help them fake their death and undergo gender-affirming procedures so that they can transition into life as a woman.
Gascón already made film history last year, when she became the first trans actor to win a major prize at Cannes. This year, also she became the first trans actress in a film to be nominated for a Golden Globe.
