After two delays due to the ongoing wildfires in LA, the 2025 Oscar nominations were finally revealed on January 23, with both anticipated frontrunners and some surprising omissions, as announced by Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott.

Now, with the nominations out, the big question remains: what’s next? Will the Oscars ceremony proceed as planned? If so, will voters favor uplifting films over darker stories, given the current somber climate? Or will Academy members turn to films like Emilia Pérez and Wicked as a way to make a defiant political statement following Trump’s recent inauguration? Additionally, will the controversy surrounding The Brutalist—specifically its use of AI—affect the final outcome, especially since the issue only gained traction after voting had concluded?

As we await clarity on these questions, take a look at the full list of 2025 Oscar nominations below.
