Oscars 2025: Full list of nominees revealed, Emilia Perez leads pack with 13
Controversial musical thriller Emilia Pérez leads the pack with a whopping 13 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón and Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldana.
With 10 nods apiece is architectural epic The Brutalist and smash-hit musical adaptation Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu.
Vatican drama Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes, and Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown with Timothée Chalamet tied in third spot with eight apiece, while Anora collected six nominations.
Australian animated film Memoir of a Snail, which features Succession’s Sarah Snook, is up for a gong.
Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman has suffered a snub after she failed to get a nomination for her role in racy movie Babygirl. It was thought the Australian actress was a shoo-in for an awards nod.
But it’s looking increasingly like Demi Moore’s comeback could be on with a nomination for Best Actress after her Golden Globes win for the visual shock-fest The Substance. Wicked’s Ariana Grande also scored a first-time nomination in the Actress in a Supporting Role category for her role as Glinda.
Apart from Kidman, other notable omissions included rumoured Best Actor candidate Daniel Craig for his work in Queer, Angelina Jolie for her role in Maria, as well as Conclave filmmaker Edward Berger from the Best Director category.
