Fresh from making Golden Globes history, Karla Sofía Gascón has now become the first openly transgender actress to be nominated for a BAFTA Film Award.
The Spanish performer has been recognized in the Leading Actress category for her role in Emilia Pérez, in which she stars as a Mexican drug kingpin who transitions into a woman.
Gascón will compete for the BAFTA prize alongside five other nominees: Saoirse Ronan (The Outrun), Demi Moore (The Substance), Mikey Madison (Anora), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked).
BAFTA counts Elliot Page as a past transgender film nominee for his role in Juno, but this was before his transition. Annie Wallace, a transgender actress, was nominated for a Scottish BAFTA Award in 2016 for her role in soap Hollyoaks.
