After a brief delay caused by the devastating Los Angeles fires, the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards, aka the 2025 Oscars, were finally unveiled on Thursday morning.
Netflix’s critically acclaimed film Emilia Pérez emerged as the frontrunner, securing an impressive 13 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress. Close behind are Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist and the highly anticipated musical Wicked, each earning 10 nominations.
The ceremony, set to take place on March 2, 2025, at the iconic Dolby Theatre, will be hosted by Conan O’Brien, marking his debut as the Oscars host.
The event will air live on ABC and, for the first time, will also stream live on Hulu, expanding its accessibility to a broader audience.
