Emilia Pérez established a new Oscars record, earning 13 nominations and entering the record books as the most nominated non-English language film. The Brutalist and Wicked followed with 10 Oscar nominations, and A Complete Unknown and Conclave each picked up eight. Anora was nominated in six categories, and The Substance and Dune: Part Two earned five nominations.
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences members recognized The Substance‘s Coralie Fargeat with a directing nomination, making her only the 10th woman in Oscar history to earn a nomination in that category. And this year’s Best Picture nominees include two musicals – Emilia Pérez and Wicked – which hasn’t happened since 1968. With her best actress nomination, Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón became the first openly trans person ever to be nominated in an acting category.
Winners will be announced during the 97th Oscars on Sunday, March 2, 2025. Conan O’Brien will be guiding the ceremony as host.
