The 2025 Oscar Nominations

To quote Mariah Carey: “It’s ti-ime!” No, not for normal Christmas, for movie Christmas! The Oscar nominations were announced by Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott on January 23 after being delayed due to the Los Angeles wildfires. Bolstered by two nominations in Original Song, Emilia Pérez scored 13 nominations — just one Selena Gomez off the record for most nods by a single film. Brazil’s I’m Still Here nabbed a surprise Best Picture nomination alongside a historic nomination for its leading lady, Fernanda Torres. The ceremony itself will be held on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre, hosted by Conan O’Brien. Below, the full list of nominees.
