In a year filled overwhelmingly with white and heterosexual nominees, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has made LGBT history.

A transgender musician, Antony Hegarty, was nominated for Best Orginal Song.

"Hegarty, the lead vocalist of the band Antony and The Johnsons, created the track "Manta Ray" for Racing Extinction. Hegarty is credited as the writer of the song's lyrics, with the music by J. Ralph (Chasing Ice). The documentary follows activists as they try to stem the tide of manmade mass extinction of the world's animals."
