Thanks to her performance in the controversial but Cannes winning Emilia Pérez, Karla Sofía Gascón reached the pinnacle of her success. She won several awards, earned widespread recognition and became the first out transgender performer to be nominated for an Oscar.
Euronews Culture even selected Gascón as one of our People of the Year. We wrote: "Her fearless turn makes her 2024’s most unforgettable silver screen star, and having had the pleasure of meeting her at this year’s European Film Awards, Gascón is as kind as she is talented, exuding remarkable movie star charisma and communicating infectious joy."
