The 2025 Oscar nominations are in! After the Motion Picture Academy pushed back this year’s nominations twice due to the Los Angeles wildfires, actors Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards live from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater Thursday morning.
This year’s Oscars season had several frontrunners heading into Thursday’s nominations, including Netflix’s Spanish-language French Oscar entry Emilia Pérez, the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo-led stage-to-screen musical Wicked, and the papal thriller Conclave. All three films earned Best Picture nods alongside Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Dune: Part Two, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys, and The Substance.
