Oscar Nominations 2025: ‘Emilia Peréz’ Leads With 13 Nods, ‘Wicked’ and ‘The Brutalist’ Follow With 10

by · Variety

After being delayed by the Los Angeles fires, the 2025 Oscar nominations are finally being announced on Thursday morning.

Bowen Yang (“Wicked,” “Saturday Night Live”) and Rachel Sennott (“Saturday Night,” “Bottoms”) are revealing the nominees at 5:30 a.m. PT.

After taking home four Golden Globes earlier this month, Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez” is set to be a frontrunner at the Oscar nominations. It won best comedy or musical, supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña, original song for “El Mal” and non-English language film. Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” is also expected to make a splash after it won best drama, director and lead actor for Adrien Brody at the Globes.
