After a series of delays due to the Los Angeles Wildfires, the Oscars 2025 nominations were announced on Thursday morning. Hosted by Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott, the nominations were announced on Oscar.com, Oscars. org and the Academy’s TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook channels.
Indian film Anuja, backed by Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga, found a nomination in the Best Live Action Short category. However, Cannes 2024 Grand Prix winner All We Imagine As Light by filmmaker Payal Kapadia did not get any nominations. Many had predicted that the film would find a mention in the Best International category even though it wasn't India's official entry to the Oscars this year.
Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language musical Emilia Perez leads the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards with 13, including best film, best director, and best actress for Karla Sofía Gascon. The Brutalist and The Wicked followed with 10 nods each.
