While another fire ravages Los Angeles, at least good news comes to us from Hollywood: Madrid’s Karla Sofía Gascón has been nominated for the best actress for her leading role in the ramshackle, but very funny and also exciting ‘Emilia Pérez’. A French film that opts for 13 statuettes, being the most nominated for the night, and one of the most nominated in history.
Neither actress nor film really start as favorites, because they have to face Titans as ‘The Brutalist’ and Demi Moore -who is now -but the moment is historical, because for the first time a trans woman is nominated for Best Actress (Elliot Page transitions years after being nominated by ‘Juno’), and we also have the pride of being Spanish, a Madrid of those who represent us. His election comes in full reactionary wave in the United States after the victory in Trump’s presidential Trans people.
Karla Sofía Gascón is from Alcobendas-as Penelope Cruz- and in the 90s it was seen by Tele-5 and RTVE programs, before transition. He appeared for example in the popular series ‘El Super’ in the mid -90s. Also in ‘Calle Nueva’ or ‘The past is tomorrow’.
For about 15 years, it has been more popular in Mexico, as it has appeared in films as blockbusters as ‘We the nobles’. In 2018 he made public his gender identity as a trans woman, later appearing in ‘Rebelde’ and ‘Masterchef Celebrity Mexico’, and finally starring in ‘Emilia Pérez’.
The remaining best film nominated are ‘Anora’, ‘The Brutalist’, ‘Conclave’, ‘Dune Part 2’, ‘The substance’, ‘A Complete Unknown’, ‘Wicked’, ‘I’m still here’, and ‘Nickel Boys’. The winners will be announced on March 2.
