From Emilia Pérez and its 13(!) nominations to the profoundly gross The Substance getting a Best Picture nod, the 2025 Oscar nominees addressed big social and political issues, all to varying degrees.

After a delay following the fires in Los Angeles, the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning, with “Emilia Perez,” “The Brutalist” “ and “Wicked” garnering multiple nods. “Emilia Pérez” led with 13 nominations, including best picture. “The Brutalist” and “Wicked,” also best picture nominees, both received 10.

You get an Oscar, you get an Oscar, every Best Picture nominee gets an Oscar? Not always. For most of the past decade when the Oscars used the sliding scale in Best Picture, most, if not all, of the Best Picture nominees every year walked away with at least one Oscar.

The Oscars 2025 are rapidly approaching, and with nominations now officially announced, we're predicting the winners of all 23 categories.
