Full List Of Nominees From ‘Emilia Pérez’ to ‘Wicked’, Canada Reviews

Who will be this year’s Oppenheimer at the Academy Awards? 

The 2025 Oscar nominations have been announced and it’s still hard to predict the big winners from the most open race of recent years.

The big candidates looking to get close to matching the seven gongs picked up by Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic include Emilia Pérez (13 nominations), Wicked (10), A Complete Unknown (10), The Brutalist (10), Conclave (8), Anora (6) and Dune: Part Two (5).

Jacques Audiard’s polarising cartel musical Emilia Pérez’s 13 nominations is the most ever by a non-English language film, pipping Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Roma to the record.

Man of the moment Timothée Chalamet picked up an expected Best Actor nod for his performance in Bob Dylan drama A Complete Unknown. His rivals in the category include Ralph Fiennes for Conclave, Adrien Brody for The Brutalist, Colman Domingo for prison drama Sing Sing, and Sebastian Stan for Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice.

Battling it out for Best Actress at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on March 2, meanwhile, will be Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Mikey Madison (Anora), Demi Moore (The Substance), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), and I’m Still Here’s Fernanda Torres. If she wins, Gascón would make history as the first trans Academy Awards winner.

Comeback queen Moore, meanwhile, represents the first acting nomination for a horror movie since Natalie Portman, who won for Black Swan in 2010.

Another comeback dream didn’t materialise, with Pamela Anderson’s startling turn in The Last Showgirl not quite enough to pick up a nomination.
