The nominations for the 97th year of the Oscar Awards, marked as the most prestigious award in the film world, have been announced.
The voting, which was postponed twice this year to allow Academy members affected by the fires in Los Angeles to watch the films and complete the voting process, ended last Friday.
The name that surprised many among the nominees was Spanish trans actress Karla Sofía Gascón, nominated for 'Best Actress' for her performance in the film 'Emilia Pérez'. In the film directed by Jacques Audiard, Gascón plays a cartel leader who is trying to escape from her past and secretly undergoes gender transition.
BEST ACTRESS NOMINEES
In addition to Karla Sofia Gascon, the other actresses nominated for the Oscar for Best Lead Performance are Demi Moore (The Substance), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Mikey Madison (Anora), and Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here).
