As the film industry gears up for its most glamorous night, the 97th Academy Awards will dazzle audiences on March 2, 2025, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. This year, the ceremony will be hosted by the ever-charming Conan O'Brien, who will bring his signature wit to the Oscars stage for the first time.
Leading the pack with a record-breaking 13 nominations is "Emilia Pérez," a French musical that tells the tale of a trans-Mexican gangster seeking a new life. The film's standout performance by Karla Sofía Gascón has earned her a historic Best Actress nomination, marking the first time an openly transgender actor has been recognized in this category.
Close on its heels with 10 nominations each are "The Brutalist" and "Wicked." "The Brutalist" delves into the life of a visionary architect navigating personal and political challenges. At the same time, "Wicked" brings the beloved Broadway musical to the big screen, exploring the untold story of the witches of Oz.
In the Best Actor race, Adrien Brody captivates as a complex artist in "The Brutalist," and Timothée Chalamet delivers a compelling portrayal in "A Complete Unknown," a biopic exploring the enigmatic early years of a cultural icon.
The Best Actress category shines with talent. It features Demi Moore's powerful performance in Conclave, a gripping drama set in the secretive world of Vatican politics, and Cynthia Erivo's enchanting role in Wicked, in which she reimagines the iconic character with depth and nuance.
Supporting roles are equally impressive this year. In her film debut, Ariana Grande charms audiences in "Wicked," earning a nod for Best Supporting Actress. Meanwhile, Jeremy Strong's nuanced performance in "Nickel Boys," a poignant adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, has garnered him a well-deserved nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
As the anticipation builds, movie enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await the unveiling of winners in these fiercely contested categories. With such a diverse and talented array of nominees, the 97th Academy Awards promise to be an unforgettable celebration of cinematic excellence.
