Leading the nominations were Emila Pérez (13 nominations), The Brutalist and Wicked (10 noms), A Complete Unknown and Conclave (8 noms), and Anora (6 noms).

13 individuals are first-time nominees in the acting categories, including Sebastian Stan, Yura Borisov, Kieran Culkin, Guy Pearce, Jeremy Strong, Karla Sofía Gascón, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, Fernanda Torres, Monica Barbaro, Ariana Grande, Isabella Rossellini, and Zoe Saldaña. Sean Baker, Brady Corbet, James Mangold, Jacques Audiard, and Coralie Fargeat are first-time director nominees.

I’m Still Here, starring Fernanda Torres, marks the first Brazilian Best Picture nominee. If Torres wins Best Actress, she’ll break further ground as the first Latina to claim the award. The film carries a legacy, too: it’s directed by Walter Salles, who also directed Torres’s mother, Fernanda Montenegro, to a Best Actress nomination for Central Station in 1999. Wicked and Emilia Pérez also secured Best Picture nods, marking the first dual musical nomination since 1968.

The Oscars will air live on ABC and stream live on Hulu on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, with the official live red carpet show airing at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
