Karla Sofía Gascón is making history during a time of turmoil for transgender and non-binary people, becoming the first openly trans person to be nominated for an acting Oscar. The past few days have been heartbreaking and terrifying for trans people in America.

Karla Sofía Gascón was nominated for an Oscar on Thursday, becoming first out trans actress nominated for an Oscar.

Close behind were The Brutalist and Wicked, each earning 10 nominations, including for first-time nominees Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the latter of whom is now positioned to make history as the youngest EGOT winner — a rare achievement for those who’ve won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
