Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón is poised to become the first openly trans actor in history to receive an Oscar nomination.

The Spanish -language, crime-driven musical is helmed by French auteur Jacques Audiard .

At Sunday night ’s Golden Globes , she won four prizes, the last of which was best picture.

Emilia Pérez has received backlash from trans critics over its release on Netflix .

Gascón says social media is the future in our relationships as human beings.

“The world needs real people, not robots,” she says. “I've been doing red carpets for the last seven, eight months , and I hate them. It’s absurd.”.

Since starting the journey of Emilia Pérez , Gascón has signed onto four new projects.

One film has already been announced, the trans fairy tale Las Malas directed by Oscar -winning filmmaker Armando Bó .

“I don’t think I've changed much as a person, but it’s more the life and circumstances around me that have changed”.
