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

According to Torres, the party had “the highest concentration of amazing actors I had seen in my life.” As she shyly made her way through the A-listers like a “fish out of water,” Gascón swooped in and took her under her wing.
