The 2025 Oscar nominations for the 97th Academy Awards have been announced, and Emilia Pérez is leading the pack this year with an impressive 13 nods — the most ever earned by a film not in the English language. This thrilling news was shared by Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang during a live presentation on January 23, streamed on the Oscars YouTube channel. Jacques Audiard's Spanish crime thriller Emilia Pérez has captured the attention of the Academy, securing nominations in key categories such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Lead Actress, with Karla Sofía Gascón in the running for the latter.
Hot on its heels, Wicked and The Brutalist each garnered 10 nominations, while Conclave and A Complete Unknown each secured eight nods.
