Karla Sofía Gascón has landed an historic Best Actress in a Motion Picture nomination at the Golden Globes for her performance in Emilia Pérez.
Should she win in her category (Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy) at the event in January, she would become the first out trans performer to win in a top film acting category at the Globes. She will compete against Amy Adams (Nightbitch), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Mikey Madison (Anora), Demi Moore (The Substance) and Zendaya (Challengers).
Pose’s Michaela Jaé Rodriguez won the Golden Globe for Best Television Actress in a Drama Series in 2022, marking the first time a trans actress had won a major award at the event. Elliot Page was nominated in the Musical and Comedy film category in 2007 for Juno.
For Spanish actress Gascón, the nomination comes after she made history as one of four performers to share the Best Actress prize at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year for Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, in which she stars as a Mexican drug kingpin who transitions into a woman. The film landed 10 nominations today, making it the most nominated film.
Over the weekend, Gascón won the Best Actress category at the European Film Awards, with Emilia Pérez also winning Best Film and Audiard taking home the Best Director trophy.
Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut presented the Golden Globe nominations today ahead of the awards ceremony on January 5, 2025, with Nikki Glaser presenting and CBS broadcasting.
The Golden Globes are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Deadline owner Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge.
