Historic First: Transgender Woman Earns BAFTA Leading Actress Nod

Breaking Barriers: Transgender Actress Secures BAFTA Nomination

Karla Sofía Gascón has made history as the first openly transgender actress nominated for a BAFTA Film Award in the Leading Actress category. Her nomination is for her role in the Mexican musical comedy “Emilia Pérez,” where she portrays a cartel boss who transitions from male to female.

In “Emilia Pérez,” Gascón’s performance has been widely acclaimed, contributing to the film’s significant recognition, including 11 BAFTA nominations.

Gascón’s nomination is a significant milestone for transgender representation in the film industry, reflecting a broader movement towards inclusivity and diversity in cinema. She will be competing against notable actresses such as Cynthia Erivo for “Wicked,” Mikey Madison for “Anora,” Saoirse Ronan for “The Outrun,” Marianne Jean-Baptiste for “Hard Truths,” and Demi Moore for “The Substance.”

The 2025 BAFTA Film Awards ceremony is scheduled for February 16, 2025, where the winners will be announced.
