Megyn Kelly's explosive rant against transgender Emilia Perez star after Oscar nomination

Megyn Kelly ranted about Karla Sofía Gascón's Oscars Best Actress nomination after the Spanish star made history as the first openly transgender individual nominated for an Academy Award in any acting category.

The 52-year-old was acknowledged for her title role in Jacques Audiard’s Netflix musical Emilia Pérez in which she plays a cartel leader named Manitas who seeks the help of a Mexican lawyer (Zoe Saldaña) to help fake his death and transition into Emilia Pérez.

Kelly referred to Gascon by her birth gender as she described the film as "tailor-made for awards in Hollywood."
