Karla Sofía Gascón is making history with her 2025 Oscars nomination.

With her best actress nomination for Emilia Pérez, Gascón becomes the first openly trans actor to be nominated for an Academy Award.

Gascón plays the titular role in the film, a Mexican drug cartel leader who — with the help of a lawyer played by Zoe Saldaña — fakes her death and undergoes gender-affirming surgery. Years later, Emilia attempts to right the wrongs of her past and reconnect with her former wife, played by Selena Gomez, and her children.

The Spanish actress previously won the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival — shared with co-stars Saldaña, Gomez and Adriana Paz — and was nominated for a Golden Globe. In addition to her Oscar nomination, she is up for a Critics’ Choice Movie Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Elliot Page was previously nominated for an Oscar for his role in Juno in 2008, prior to coming out as transgender.

Emilia Pérez is the most-nominated film of the year at the 97th Academy Awards, having scored 13 nominations — including Gascón’s and a coveted best picture nod.

Other nominations for the film include best supporting actress for Saldaña, best cinematography, best director for Jacques Audiard, best film editing, best international feature film, best makeup and hairstyling, best original score, best original song for “El Mal” and “Mi Camino,” best sound and best adapted screenplay.

Find out if Gascón can take home the trophy when the 2025 Oscars air live on ABC and stream live on Hulu on Sunday, March 2, beginning at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.

Timothée Chalamet takes his look-alikes to Saturday Night Live in the promo for Saturday’s episode.

The actor, who is pulling double duty as host and musical guest on the Jan. 25 episode of the sketch comedy show, explains in the promo that he’s enlisted contestants from his viral look-alike contest to pretend to be him throughout the week.

“I’ve never done this before. I’m having to be the SNL host and musical guest in the same week,” Chalamet says in the trailer. “It’s a lot of work. And I wanna focus on the songs. So I brought in some help to cover it with all the hosting duties.”

Some of the things Chalamet says he needs his look-alikes to help him with are meeting with the writers, working on his monologue and listening to SNL cast member Mikey Day talk about hosting Netflix’s Is It Cake? The Chalamet look-alike dressed up like Bob Dylan is given the latter task.

The promo ends with Chalamet forgetting he was supposed to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He sends one of his look-alikes in his place, then watches his appearance on the program from backstage at SNL.

“He’s good,” Chalamet says to his other look-alikes while watching the Fallon appearance. “He’s really good. Yeah, you guys could learn from him.”

This marks Chalamet’s third time hosting SNL and his first time as the musical guest.

While it’s unknown if Chalamet will sing as Dylan during the broadcast, this musical guest gig comes after he was nominated for a Golden Globe for playing the singer in the biopic A Complete Unknown.

Robert Pattinson stars in the new trailer for Mickey 17.

The trailer for the film, from Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho, dropped Tuesday, featuring Pattinson as an employee who is duplicated after being asked to continuously die for his job.

In addition to Pattinson, the film stars Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo.

Pattinson plays Mickey Barnes, an “expendable” who, according to a synopsis, “has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job … to die, for a living.”

The trailer shows Mickey continuously being sent on dangerous missions, including one in which he is asked to breath in “an unknown virus” in a foreign environment.

“Every time I died, they just printed me out again,” Mickey says in a voice-over.

Another scene shows Mickey discovering that his employers cloned him, creating duplicate Mickeys.

“In the case of multiples, we exterminate every individual,” Ruffalo’s character, Hieronymous Marshall, says at one point.

The trailer also introduces Mickey’s love interest, Nasha, played by Ackie.

A slate at the end of the trailer reads, “He’s dying … to save mankind.”

In the first trailer for the film, released back in September, Mickey is shown applying to become an “expendable.”

“Every time you die, we learn something new and humanity moves forward,” an instructional voice explains in the trailer.

Bong, Dooho Choi, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner produced the film, while Brad Pitt, Jesse Ehrman, Peter Dodd and Marianne Jenkins served as executive producers.

Mickey 17 hits theaters March 7.
