The Golden Globes made history by nominating a male-born performer who identifies as female for best actress, a move reigniting pushback over biological males usurping honors intended for women.
Karla Sofia Gascon was nominated Monday for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, for playing a Mexican drug lord who undergoes a gender transition in the 2024 film “Emilia Perez.”
The nod represents the first time the Golden Globes have nominated a male-born entertainer in the female category for movies, although the award show did so previously in the television category.
