 "Reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner to lead Oscar campaign for trans drama 'Tangerine'")
Los Angeles: Reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner is leading the first-ever Oscar campaign for a trans actress with Mya Taylor’s supporting role in Sean Baker’s indie drama “Tangerine”.
The Olympic medalist, 66, will host a special screening of the film, which already landed Taylor a Gotham Award for breakthrough actor-actress. She’s also nominated for best supporting actress at the Independent Spirit Awards, said the Hollywood Reporter.
The Magnolia Pictures event, which will be held at Los Angeles’ Landmark theater on 4 January, will include a post-screening reception with appearances by Jenner, Taylor, executive producers Mark and Jay Duplass and Baker.
Known for spotlighting the lives of marginal characters, Baker’s “Tangerine” — which was shot entirely with mobile phone cameras and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January — follows the LA-based Christmas Eve adventure of trans sex worker Sin-Dee (Kiki Kitana Rodriguez) and her best friend and fellow prostitute Alexandra (Taylor) as they set out to confront Sin-Dee’s cheating pimp boyfriend and his new love interest.
