Oscar nominations: See the full list of the 2025 Academy Award nominees

By Daniel Arkin and Saba Hamedy

• The nominees for best picture are “Anora,” “The Brutalist,” “A Complete Unknown,” “Conclave,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Emilia Perez,” “I’m Still Here,” “Nickel Boys,” “The Substance” and “Wicked”
• “Saturday Night Live” cast member Bowen Yang and “Bottoms” actor Rachel Sennott announced the nominations at 5:30 a.m. PT/8:30 a.m. ET.
• The announcement event was delayed twice this month as wildfires ravaged Los Angeles. The film academy also canceled a popular awards season event, the annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon.
• The 97th Academy Awards will take place at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on March 2 and air live on ABC.

Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist,” a sweeping epic about a brilliant Hungarian architect’s efforts to rebuild his life in the U.S., and “Wicked,” the cinematic retelling of the famed Broadway musical, both garnered 10 nominations each.

Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez, a genre-busting song-and-dance spectacle about a Mexican drug cartel boss who undergoes gender-affirming surgery, garnered a whopping 13 nominations.

The film scored nods in categories including actress in a supporting role, actress in a leading role, original score, director, international feature film and best picture.

Oscar voters recognized an eclectic mix of nominees this morning, but some of last year’s most acclaimed movies were overlooked entirely. We didn’t see any recognition for Luca Guadagnino’s erotic dramedy “Challengers” or Mike Leigh’s tragicomic character study “Hard Truths.”

The top awards pundits had also penciled in at least one nod for the steamy drama “Babygirl,” but Nicole Kidman was left out of the running for best actress. Similarly, Daniel Craig earned largely positive critical notices for his lead role in Guadagnino’s “Queer,” but that movie was shut out, too.

“Conclave,” considered one of the powerhouses heading into the Oscar nominations, came up short in one key category: best director.

Edward Berger, who had earlier received a coveted Directors Guild nomination, was left out.

The snub could well undermine “Conclave’s” chances of winning best picture. Only six movies have won the top prize without securing a best director nod. However, three of those have come since 2010: “Argo,” “Green Book” and “CODA.”

The biggest surprise of the day is that “I’m Still Here,” a foreign-language film from Brazil, made it into the best picture race. The film didn’t appear on most awards predictors’ lists and rundowns. But it has been buoyed by strong reviews, including positive appraisals of the lead performance from Fernanda Torres, who was nominated for best actress.

Notably absent: “September 5,” “Sing Sing” and “A Real Pain.”
