The 2025 Oscar Nominations Are Finally Here (Live Updates)

“The Academy’s thoughts and deepest condolences are with those who have been impacted by the Los Angeles-area wildfires,” the Academy said in a Jan. 10 statement. “We stand united with the Motion Picture Television Fund to support our industry.”

The organization concluded their post by offering a list of relief resources, and asking the public to donate what they can to those in need. 

Each year, the Oscars honor the best performances across the big screen. In 2024, Emma Stone and Cillian Murphy nabbed some of the night’s biggest honors for Actress in a Leading Role and Actor in a Leading Role. Meanwhile, Oppenheimer made it onto the shortlist of the most decorated movies of all time by winning seven awards at the ceremony. (The most awarded films include 2003’s Lord of The Rings: Return of the King, 1997’s Titanic, and 1959’s Ben-Hur, all with 11 awards, respectively.)

The 2025 Oscars is already posed to be a memorable one. For one, horror movies like The Substance have only been nominated six times in the ceremony’s history, and the Coralie Fargeat film earned a whopping five nominations, including Best Picture. Meanwhile, movie musicals like Emilia Pérez and Wicked, though not quite as rare, are also often shut out of nominations—but each film earned respective nods in nearly every category. 

This year’s actor categories also include surprises like Wicked’s Grande and The Substance’s Demi Moore earning their first-ever nominations. And while Chalamet earned a Best Actor nod for his role in A Complete Unknown, he has been up for the Best Actor in a Leading Role only once before for Call Me By Your Name in 2018, and he was bested by The Darkest Hour star Gary Oldman that year. 

And while film lovers will have to wait until the March 2 ceremony to see who brings home the night’s biggest honors, as the saying goes, it is certainly an honor just to be nominated. Keep reading for every star who received the accolade…
