The 5 Biggest Takeaways, Surprises, and Snubs in the 2025 Oscar Nominations
"Earning six nominations. Ahead, we will review the biggest surprises, disappointments, and observations from this year's Oscars nominees list."
? The Academy doesn’t.
Captivated audiences and received early Oscar predictions, a fact due in equal measure to the strong performances from leading actors Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist and to the dynamic and visually appealing filmmaking. Who could forget that shot from the tennis ball's perspective as it bounced back and forth across the court?
The film received four Golden Globes nominations, winning one for Best Original Score, but was completely left out of the 2025 Academy Award nominations.
Actresses Zoe Saldana and Ariana Grande have a lot to celebrate.
Costar Cynthia Erivo received her third Oscar nomination. She was nominated for Best Actress for her role as Elphaba.
A-listers Zendaya, Angelina Jolie, and Selena Gomez were overlooked.
While some top celebrities finally got the recognition they deserved, others were shockingly left out of this year's nominations.
She did not receive an Academy Award nomination this year. If she had been recognized, the Oscar nominations would have been firsts for Zendaya and Gomez.
Jon M. Chu and Denis Villeneuve failed to receive a directors' nomination in the Best Directors category.
They didn't receive a nomination for Best Director, even though their respective movies were nominated for Best Picture. Maybe they'll get another chance to join the best directors at the Oscars at a future ceremony, considering sequels to their movies are coming out in 2025 and 2026.
Karla Sofia Gascón has made history, again.
At the Oscars, Karla SofÃa Gascón made history once again: Her part as Emilia Pérez—a Mexico City crime leader who has a secret gender-affirming surgery—earned Gascón her very first Oscar nomination.
For me, the greatest recognition is being given the opportunity to be a part of this incredible film and to have portrayed this character as I have. This is what I go to bed at night feeling accomplished about. I'm thrilled to have this work, and I'd be honored to share it. On a personal level, I think something truly special is happening. There are a lot of people who want recognition for a segment of our population, specifically the trans community. If I can help make that happen even in some small way, I'd feel an immense sense of pride in knowing that I've contributed a significant amount to making this world a more optimistic place.
