Sat Jan 25 04:40:53 UTC 2025: ## Oscar Nominations 2025: Surprises, Snubs, and a Netflix Domination

**LAREDO, TX** – The 2025 Oscar nominations have been announced, revealing a mix of expected contenders and surprising omissions. Netflix’s *Emilia Perez* leads the pack with a staggering 13 nominations, eclipsing major releases like *The Brutalist* and *Wicked*. This marks a significant victory for the streaming giant, though past Netflix Oscar hopefuls, *Roma* and *Mank*, ultimately failed to win Best Picture.

Notable snubs include Jamie Lee Curtis and Pamela Anderson for their roles in *The Last Showgirl*, and Nicole Kidman for *Babygirl*.

The Best Actor race is a tight contest between Adrien Brody (*The Brutalist*) and Timothée Chalamet (*A Complete Unknown*). A Chalamet win would make him the youngest Best Actor recipient in Oscar history. In the Best Actress category, Demi Moore is a prominent contender, alongside Fernando Torres, Golden Globe winner for *I’m Still Here*. Cynthia Erivo (*Wicked*) and Ariana Grande (Best Supporting Actress) also received nominations. Other noteworthy nominations include Kieran Culkin (Best Supporting Actor) and Zoe Saldana (*Emilia Perez*), who could face Grande in a potential Best Supporting Actress showdown.

While excitement builds for the March 2nd ceremony, the absence of live performances has disappointed some fans. However, the Academy plans to honor Hollywood’s spirit, including a tribute to LA wildfire fighters. The competition remains fierce, and the winners will be revealed soon.
