The film about a Mexican drug lord who transitions into a woman matched the 13 nominations secured for Oppenheimer last year and sets the record for the most nods for a non-English language film. The previous record holders were Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Roma (2018). Gascon is also the first trans person to be nominated in an acting category.
Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist and Jon M Chu’s Wicked each received the second-most nominations with 10 apiece. James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown and Edward Berger’s Conclave secured eight nominations.
Sean Baker’s Anora will go into the ceremony with six nominations, followed by five for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two and Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance, and four for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu.
The nominees were announced by actor-writer-comedians Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang.
This year’s nominations were twice delayed following the LA wildfires, having originally been scheduled for January 17 before moving to January 19 and shifting again to today. Opening the nominations event, Academy CEO Bill Kramer said the organisation extended its “deepest sympathies to everyone impacted by the fires here in southern California”.
Academy president Janet Yang added: “This has certainly been a difficult time for Los Angeles, where many members of our film community work and live but the last several weeks have proven what we already know to be true. Our film industry and Los Angeles are resilient and for almost a century, the Oscars have brought us together to unite and celebrate our global film community.”
The 2025 Oscars will take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Conan O’Brien will host the ceremony for the first time.
