A comprehensive look at all the Oscars 2025 movie nominees
The Oscars 2025 nominations are now official and feature a broad selection of films across multiple categories. Emilia Pérez leads with 13 nominations and has secured spots in Best Picture and Best Director for Jacques Audiard.
Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña are both in the acting categories. The Spanish-language crime drama was initially a strong contender for Best Picture but lost momentum when past offensive statements made by Gascón resurfaced.
Wicked and The Brutalist are not far behind, each securing ten nominations. Both films earned recognition in performance and technical categories. A Complete Unknown tells the story of Bob Dylan with Timothée Chalamet in the lead role. Conclave explores the selection of a new pope. Both films received eight nominations and remain strong competitors.
The other films in the Best Picture category include Dune: Part Two, Nickel Boys, Anora, I'm Still Here, and The Substance.
