The 2025 Oscar nominations for the 97th Academy Awards have been announced, and Emilia Pérez is leading the pack this year with 13 nods — the most earned by a film not in the English language.
Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang unveiled the nominations on January 23 in a live presentation on the Oscars YouTube channel. Jacques Audiard’s Spanish crime thriller Emilia Pérez featured in multiple categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Lead Actress, which Karla Sofía Gascón is up for.
Wicked and The Brutalist followed closely behind with 10 nods apiece, while Conclave and A Complete Unknown each scored eight nominations.
