Oscar nominations 2025: Full list of Academy Awards nominees

Additionally, Anora, Dune: Part Two, and The Substance were also among the notable nominees during that time.

Once again, there were some unexpected absences in the awards lineup. Jesse Eisenberg’s film “A Real Pain” surprisingly did not make it to the Best Picture list, while notable actresses such as Angelina Jolie for her work in “Maria” and Nicole Kidman from “Babygirl” didn’t receive nominations.

After a short opening by Academy President Janet Yang and CEO Bill Kramer, who recognized the devastating effects of the LA fires and expressed that the upcoming event would honor our courageous first responders and celebrate the resilient spirit of Los Angeles and the film industry, Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott proceeded to read out the announcements.

This year’s Best Picture competition seems quite tight as the nominations have been announced, unlike last year when the anticipated winner, Oppenheimer, had been leading as a strong favorite for several months prior to the event.

Read on for the full list of Oscars 2025 nominees.
