Oscars 2025: Full Nominations List

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is ready to announce the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards. The 2025 Oscars will be the culmination of one of the most unpredictable awards races in years, from Wicked and Emilia Pérez battling it out as the favored musicals to numerous indie achievements such as The Brutalist and Anora creating topical conversations in their own right. Additionally, this year, we have seen breakout horror hits like The Substance break new ground in terms of earning high industry recognition for its uncompromising themes. It’s time to find out which movies from 2024 got the most recognition from the Academy and which got unfortunately snubbed as the Oscar nominations are revealed.

How many nominations will other formidable awards competitors like Edward Berger’s Conclave, James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, or even Luca Guadagnino’s two radically different recent films, Challengers and Queer, receive?
