The Brief

Emilia Pérez, Netflix's musical about a trans drug lord in Mexico, leads with 13 nominations – including nods for star Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña for their acting, Jacques Audiard for directing, and a nomination for Best Picture.

Wicked and The Brutalist follow with 10 nominations each, including Best Picture. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were both nominated for their acting in Wicked, for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively. Adrien Brody, who plays a Jewish architect who immigrates to the U.S. after World War II in The Brutalist, also got an acting nod.

The 2025 Academy Awards ceremony will be held Sunday, March 2, hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien at the Dolby Theater and comes in the wake of devastating fires in L.A. that twice delayed the announcement of nominees.

Academy leaders say the ceremony "will celebrate the work that unites us as a global film community and acknowledge those who fought so bravely against the wildfires."
