Emilia Perez is the leader of the 2025 Oscar Nominations, and the announcement was made on Thursday morning.
The film received 13 nominations, setting a record for a non-English film. It surpasses the previous record holders, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Roma,” which were nominated in 10 categories.
Following Emilia Perez, Brutalist and Wicked were each nominated in 10 categories. “A Complete Unknown” and “Conclave” followed with eight nominations each.
Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced this year’s nominees live at 5:30 PT from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The Saturday Night actress and Wicked actor announced the 2025 Oscar nominations in 23 categories, including Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Adapted and Original Screenplay, Documentary Feature, Animated Feature, Original Song, Original Score, Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Cinematography, Film Editing, Visual Effects, Production Design, and more.
The announcement of the 2025 Oscar nominations, originally scheduled for Friday, January 17, was postponed twice due to wildfires in Los Angeles that have caused at least 28 fatalities, destroyed over 14,000 buildings, and burned nearly 40,000 acres.
As the fires raged across Los Angeles on Jan. 8, the day voting for this year’s nominees opened, the Film Academy extended the voting window through Jan. 14 with a plan to announce this year’s nominees on Jan. 19. But as the devastation caused by the fires continued to unfold the following week, on Jan. 13, the Academy again extended the nominations voting window until Jan. 17 and set Jan. 23 as the date for this year’s announcement.
The Academy has also donated $1 million to the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s wildfire relief efforts including $250,000 that it would’ve spent on the Oscar nominees luncheon on Feb. 10, which has been canceled.
Still the Academy plans to move forward with this year’s Oscars but revealed Wednesday that this year’s awards ceremony will also “honor Los Angeles.”

“We will honor Los Angeles as the city of dreams, showcasing its beauty and resilience, as well as its role as a beacon for filmmakers and creative visionaries for over a century,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and president Janet Yang said in a letter to members. “We will reflect on the recent events while highlighting the strength, creativity, and optimism that defines Los Angeles and our industry.”
The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O’Brien, will air live coast-to-coast on Sunday, March 2, from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, starting at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET, continuing with the earlier start time the show debuted last year, on ABC and Hulu.
