Oscar nominations 2025: Netflix’s Emilia Pérez breaks record, Demi Moore gets first ever nomination, full list of nominees

The French-produced musical crime drama, directed by Jacques Audiard, is up for Best Picture, Best Actress (Karla Sofía Gascón), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best International Feature Film, among others. It also earned two nominations in the Best Original Song category.

Following closely behind is the musical adaptation Wicked, which garnered 10 nominations, including Best Actress for Cynthia Erivo and Best Supporting Actress for Ariana Grande. Other notable contenders include A Complete Unknown and Conclave, each with eight nominations, while Anora and Dune: Part Two received six and five nods, respectively.

One of the biggest surprises of the year was Daniel Craig’s absence from the Best Actor category for his role in Queer. Despite early buzz, Craig failed to secure a nomination, with the category instead recognizing Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), and Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice). Stan’s portrayal of Donald Trump in The Apprentice earned him a spot, likely bolstered by the film’s relevance amid the U.S. election cycle.

Meanwhile, Demi Moore has the first Oscar nomination of her career. The 62-year-old is nominated for best actress for playing a fading star who swaps her body for a younger and more beautiful version of herself in The Substance, and she is tipped to win this year.
