Karla Sofia Gascon, the Spanish-born star of Emilia Perez, has made history by becoming the first openly transgender actress to receive a nomination for Best Actress at the 2025 Academy Awards. Her role as a Mexican cartel leader who transitions and helps victims of gang violence has earned her critical acclaim. Gascon shares the Best Actress award from last year’s Cannes Film Festival with Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez.
Despite her groundbreaking achievement, Gascon has faced online abuse and threats, especially after her Oscar nomination. She has spoken out against anti-trans views, including those from Donald Trump, who signed an executive order limiting government recognition to only biological genders. Gascon called him “shameless” and emphasized the importance of defending transgender rights. Her movie, Emilia Perez, earned 13 Oscar nominations, making it the most nominated non-English language film in Academy Award history.
