Who got the approval? The Complete List of 2025 Oscar Nominations | Arts and Culture News


Nominations for the 97th Academy Awards have been postponed following deadly wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area.

The nominees for the 97th Academy Awards have finally been revealed after two delays due to the devastating wildfires raging in Southern California in the United States.

The wildfires haven't subsided yet with another blaze, the Hughes Fire, breaking out north of Los Angeles this week.

But nominations continued on schedule Thursday, with the divisive, experimental musical Emilia Perez grabbing the most nods.

One of its 13 nominations was historic: Carla Sofia Gascon became the first transgender woman ever to be honored in the Best Actress category.

In the film, she plays a former cartel boss who secretly undergoes gender reassignment surgery and reinvents himself as a humanitarian in modern-day Mexico.

But her category will be one of the hottest to watch, with fierce competition from The Substance's Demi Moore and Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres from the historical drama I'm Still Here.

Broadway blockbuster Wicked earned 10 more Oscar nominations, signaling a strong year for Hollywood musicals. The Brutalist, a period drama about an architect who survives the Holocaust and moves to the US, also collected 10 nominations.

Other Academy favorites this year were the Vatican drama Conclave and the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown , both of which received eight nods.

Another six nominations went to the catchy comedy drama “Anora” about a stripper who marries the son of a Russian oligarch.

Some of the biggest snubs came in the crowded Best Actress category, with Maria's Angelina Jolie, Babygirl's Nicole Kidman and Emilia Perez's Selena Gomez being left out in the cold.

But a surprise came in the form of a nomination for Romanian-American actor Sebastian Stan, who won acclaim for his portrayal of United States President Donald Trump in The Intern, a stark portrait of ambition and ego.
