jan 23 2025 For example, while the Academy Awards mean nothing to most of us, I'm sure they do mean something to the people who create movies. And each year, only five women are nominated for the coveted "Best Actress" award. Out of all the actresses in all the movies, that's a pretty small group, so when one of those coveted slots ends up going to a man, it's kind of gross.
This year's nominees are Cynthia Erivo from "Wicked," Mikey Madison from "Enora," Demi Moore from "The Substance," Fernanda Torres from "I'm Still Here," and Karla Sofia Gascon from "Emilia Perez."
The thing is Karla Sofia Gascon was actually born Carlos Gascon.
In 2016, he decided he was a woman. At that time, he'd been with his wife, Marisa Gutierrez, and they had a five-year-old daughter. Anyway, Gascon stars in the movie "Emilia Perez," which is also nominated for "Best Picture" and several other awards that it will most likely win because it's about the weirdest freaking thing I've ever seen. From what I understand, it's about a Mexican cartel leader who suddenly decides to transition into a woman.
