As a dedicated follower of the cinematic world, I am utterly captivated by the remarkable journey of Karla Sofia Gascón. Her performance in Emilia Pérez has undeniably left an indelible mark at Cannes 2024 and her potential Oscar nomination would indeed be a groundbreaking moment for trans actresses everywhere.
Karla Sofia Gascón’s portrayal in Jacques Audiard’s unique Spanish-language musical, Emilia Pérez, has been generating excitement since its premiere at Cannes 2024. She shared the prestigious Best Actress award with fellow stars Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, and discussions are underway for her to be considered for an Oscar nomination next year.
Should the prophecy come true, Gascón will make history as the inaugural trans actress nominated for an Oscar. Last Sunday, during the San Sebastian Film Festival held in her home country of Spain, she expressed her thoughts about this prospect.
“You can do whatever you want to win [the Oscar], if you’re not gonna win it, you’re not gonna win it,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. It turns out, the actress is a huge believer of destiny and if there’s an Oscar win or nomination meant to take place in her life, it will. Meanwhile, she can only focus on her current work and keep improving.
Additionally, she seeks recognition not just for the Academy’s approval, but purely based on her outstanding performance. She expressed frustration about instances where individuals might think they are being rewarded due to affiliation rather than skill, which she finds irritating. Gascón emphasizes that she wants her work to stand independently and shine without any external influences. “I’m not pretending to be humble or anything of the sort,” she added, “but I’ve taken on a role that only a few could have handled.
She has no plans to overlook her heritage or native community, but rather than just talking about it, she feels the need to take action. She wants her support to be tangible as well. Gascón praised France and Audiard for presenting a Spanish film for Oscar consideration. “The French are very proud of their language and culture,” she said. “For a French director and crew to create a film like this, I believe it’s truly remarkable.
Emilia Pérez will premiere on Netflix on November 13.
