The 2025 Oscars nominations are here.
And as always, while the list of nominees includes the shoe-ins—celebrities such as Timothée Chalamet and Zoe Saldaña who have been nominated throughout award season—there are also some inclusions, and absences, that have taken fans aback. (See the full list of nominees here.)
First, the obvious: Heading into the evening, Emilia Pérez takes the cake as the most-nominated film with 13 nods, capping off what has already been a successful award season for the project. Among its nods are Best Picture, Directing and Cinematography categories.
Other films nominated for the coveted Best Picture category include Anora, Conclave, Wicked, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Dune: Part Two, I'm Still Here, Nickel Boys and The Substance.
Ariana Grande and Adrien Brody have also earned yet another nomination for their work, after being celebrated throughout the season. Other names which have cropped up again within the top acting categories include Kieran Culkin, Demi Moore and Karla Sofía Gascón.
Then, there are those who are not on the list of nominees. Most notably, one of the biggest snubs is Selena Gomez who, after receiving a nomination at the Golden Globes, did not find themself among the list of nominations for this year’s Academy Awards for her work Emilia Pérez.
Other declared snubs by fans included The Substance’s Margaret Qualley, Maria’s Angelina Jolie and Babygirl’s Nicole Kidman, whose work likewise did not earn them nominations.

There were also, however, a number of surprise nominations—or lack thereof. While The Last Showgirl, starring Pamela Anderson, received two Golden Globe nominations, it didn’t receive a single nomination for this year’s Oscars.
Meanwhile, while A Complete Unknown’s Monica Barbaro had thus far not received a lot of attention for her work as Joan Baez in the film, she found herself nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
But for a complete breakdown of the biggest snubs and surprises for this year’s Oscars ceremony, keep reading.

Surprise: Monica Barbaro
One who did find themselves on the coveted list was Monica Barbaro.
And don't get us wrong—Monica's nomination for her work as Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown comes as a pleasant surprise after not being nominated for a Golden Globe. Her performance did, however, earn a nod for the 2025 SAG Awards.
