Karla Sofía Gascón, star of “Emilia Pérez,” is the first trans woman to be nominated for an Oscar.

 

For her musical contributions to the films The Little Prince (1974) and The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella (1976),

English composer Angela Morley was the first transgender person to get an Oscar nomination prior to Gascón’s nomination. Musician Anohni, who famously skipped.

The event, received a nomination for her original song “Manta Ray” from the 2015 documentary Racing Extinction. Additionally, with his 2017 film Strong Island, documentarian Yance Ford became.

The first transgender person to be nominated for an Oscar. (Elliot Page disclosed his gender identification in 2020; he was nominated for a star role in Juno (2008).)

For many years, Gascón and Audiard collaborated closely to create the persona of Emilia Pérez.

She told the Los Angeles Times last year, “I thought it would never get made when I first read the script.” “Because it was really unique.” So strange.
