The 95th Academy Awards nominations brought several historic moments, including the first-ever nomination for a transgender actor, Karla Sofia Gascon, and the potential for Cynthia Erivo to achieve EGOT status. The nominations list also features several first-time nominees and returning favorites.
The 95th Academy Awards nominations saw several historic nods, including Karla Sofia Gascon becoming the first openly transgender actor to be recognized for their performance in the musical 'Emilia Perez.' Gascon, 52, shared the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival with her co-stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz. She plays a Mexican drug lord undergoing a transformation to become a female social worker.
Competing against Gascon in the Best Actress category are Demi Moore (nominated for her role in 'The Substance' after 40 years in the industry), Fernanda Torres (the second Brazilian to receive a Best Actress nod at the Oscars), Cynthia Erivo (who could become an EGOT if she wins), and Mikey Madison (a first-time nominee for her performance in 'Anora').The Best Actor category also boasts several notable nominations. Adrien Brody, who won an Oscar at 29 for 'The Pianist,' is back in the race for his role in 'The Brutalist.' Timothée Chalamet, nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown,' could become the youngest Best Actor winner at 29. Colman Domingo is nominated for the second consecutive year for his role in 'Sing Sing,' while first-time nominee Sebastian Stan is up for his performance as Donald Trump in 'The Apprentice.' Among the Supporting Actor nominees, Yura Borisov, Kieran Culkin, Guy Pearce, and Jeremy Strong are all first-time nominees. Edward Norton, nominated for his role in 'A Complete Unknown,' is the only nominee with multiple Oscar nods, previously recognized for 'Birdman,' 'American History X,' and 'Primal Fear.
