Record-Breaking Nominations for the 97th Academy Awards
The nominations for the 97th Academy Awards have been announced, with Emilia Pérez leading the pack with a record-breaking 13 nominations, making it the most-nominated foreign-language film in Oscar history. The French-produced, Spanish-language crime musical, distributed by Netflix, has secured nods in major categories, including Best Picture, Best Director for Jacques Audiard, and Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, who becomes the first openly transgender actor to be nominated in an acting category. The film also earned recognition for its cinematography, sound, editing, and original songs.
Close behind are The Brutalist and Wicked, each with 10 nominations. Wicked, the musical adaptation directed by Jon M. Chu, saw nominations for Cynthia Erivo in Best Actress and Ariana Grande in Best Supporting Actress, though it missed out on a Best Adapted Screenplay nod. The Brutalist, an architectural epic, garnered nominations for Adrien Brody in Best Actor and Guy Pearce in Best Supporting Actor, alongside recognition for its direction, production design, and score.
Other notable contenders include Conclave and A Complete Unknown, with eight nominations each. Conclave, a Vatican drama starring Ralph Fiennes, earned nods for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress for Isabella Rossellini. Meanwhile, A Complete Unknown, a Bob Dylan biopic, saw Timothée Chalamet nominated for Best Actor and Edward Norton for Best Supporting Actor.
The Best Picture category is notably wide open this year, with films like Dune: Part Two, Anora, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys, and The Substance rounding out the nominees. The Substance, a body horror film, earned Demi Moore her first Oscar nomination in decades, following her Golden Globe win for the role.
The 97th Academy Awards ceremony will take place on 2 March in Los Angeles, with Conan O’Brien set to host. The event will be broadcast live on ABC and Hulu in the US, and on ITV in the UK. This year’s ceremony will also reflect on the recent wildfires that devastated the region, with a focus on honouring the resilience of Los Angeles and its film industry.
In a year marked by fierce competition and historic milestones, the Oscars promise to deliver a memorable night celebrating the best in cinema.
