Actor-writer-comedians Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced the 97th Oscars® nominations today (January 23), live from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater via a global live stream on Oscar.com, Oscars.org, and the Academy’s digital platforms, Disney+, Hulu, an international satellite feed and broadcast media.
Sennott and Yang announced the nominees in two groups starting at 5:30 a.m. PT, followed by the remaining categories at 5:41 a.m. PT. The 97th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC, streamed live on Hulu and airs live in more than 200 territories worldwide.
Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature Film, and Best Picture have film titles with nominees yet to
be determined. Per the awards rules, to qualify as a producer nominee for a nominated picture, the
producer must have been determined eligible for a Producers Guild of America award for the picture or
have successfully appealed the Producers Guild of America’s refusal of such eligibility. The remaining
designated Oscar nominees will be announced by early February.
Emilia Pérez hit a home run with voting members receiving an epic 13 nominations. Wicked was well-received with an exceptional 10 nominations. The Brutalist made quite the impression on the Academy too ringing in 10 nominations. A Complete Unknown and Conclave received a respectable eight nominations while Sean Baker’s Anora received more love than the Globes with six nominations. Bringing up the rear is The Substance and Dune: Part Two with five nominations.
Active members of the Academy are eligible to vote for the winners in all 23 categories beginning
Tuesday, February 11, through Tuesday, February 18.
