The Oscar nominations for 2025 are finally here! The announcement took place at the Academy’s prestigious Samuel Goldwyn Theater and was hosted by Bowen Yang, Rachel Sennott, Sian Heder, and Eric Roth. The event which took place on 23rd January 2025, was live streamed in India on Disney+ Hotstar at 7:00 PM IST. If you missed the livestream, you can watch the recording of the announcement on Disney+ Hotstar or scroll down below for the full list of this year’s nominees.
The Oscar nominations were initially set to release on 17th January 2025, however, the announcement faced delays due to the voting disruptions caused by the devastating LA wildfires. To accommodate those impacted, the Academy extended the voting period by five days, and cancelled their traditional luncheon.
Despite these events, this year’s Oscar race is as fiercely competitive and unpredictable as the previous years. Leading this year’s charter we have Emilia Perez, a musical about a drug kingpin who undergoes gender affirming surgery with 13 nominations including Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Director, and a double nomination for Best International Feature Film as ’s official entry and Best Picture.
The film is closely followed by Wicked, the blockbuster screen adaptation of the beloved Broadway spectacle, both sharing the second spot with ten nominations each. A Complete Unknown, a biographical musical drama about the freewheeling years of Bob Dylan’s early musical career, and Conclave, a political thriller about the election of a new pope both nabbed the third position with eight nominations each.
