With a series of resurfaced tweets, the lead actress nominee for 'Emilia Pérez' has caused an awards season uproar — and plenty of culture war confusion.

Gascón, 52, is currently up for an Academy Award for her role in the Spanish-language crime musical, “Emilia Pérez.” She is the first openly transgender actor to be nominated for a best actress Oscar. “Emilia Pérez” won multiple Golden Globes this year, including best motion picture in the musical or comedy category.
