Oscars 2025: ‘Emilia Pérez’ Leads With 13 Nominations (Complete List)

One of the most open-wide races in years is coming into focus. “Emilia Pérez” led all nominees for the 97th Academy Awards with 13, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Its haul sets a new record for a film not in English. “The Brutalist” and “Wicked” tied for second place with 10 each, both also receiving nods for picture. Brady Corbet was also nominated for directing and Adrien Brody scored a lead actor nom, his first since winning for “The Piano” in 2003.

More major milestones: “Conclave” supporting actress Isabella Rossellini earned her first nomination, 46 years after her mother Ingrid Bergman’s final nom. Demi Moore also earned her first nomination, for her lead performance in Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror film “The Substance.” Fargeat became the ninth woman to ever be nominated for directing, following her fellow Frenchwoman Justine Triet (“Anatomy of a Fall”) last year. Fargeat also scored a nod for original screenplay.

“Emilia Pérez” star Karla Sofía Gascón entered the history books with her Best Actress nomination, marking the first time the Academy has recognized an openly trans actor. Her co-star Zoe Saldaña also scored a supporting nod.

The lead actress category was the most fiercely competitive. As expected, Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”) and Mikey Madison (“Anora”) made the cut, while Fernanda Torres, from “I’m Still Here,” beat out Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Hard Truths”) for the fifth spot, which was also a possible place for Angelina Jolie (“Maria”) or Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) to sneak in.

Postponed from Jan. 17 due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the nominations announcement came on Thursday morning, delivered with pep (and accurate pronunciation) by Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang, live from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

The 2025 Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 2. Conan O’Brien will host. There will be no performances of nominated songs.
