The Italian film Vermiglio by Maura Delpero has fallen short of earning a nomination for the 2025 Oscars, scheduled for March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, boasting an impressive 13 nominations, and Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist are leading the charge in multiple categories, including Best Picture. Both films have dominated the awards season, splitting wins at the Golden Globes (Emilia Pérez for Comedy/Musical and The Brutalist for Drama).
The Best Picture race also features:
Conclave by Edward Berger
A Complete Unknown by James Mangold
Wicked by Jon M. Chu
Anora by Sean Baker
Dune – Part 2 by Denis Villeneuve
The Substance by Coralie Fargeat
Nickel Boys by RaMell Ross
Io sono ancora qui by Walter Salles
Acting Categories
Demi Moore (The Substance) leads the Best Actress race, with strong performances from Fernanda Torres (Io sono ancora qui) and Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez). Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) and Mikey Madison (Anora) round out the category.
In the Best Actor category, Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), and Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown) are the key contenders, though Colman Domingo (Sing Sing) and Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) are seen as outsiders.
Supporting categories highlight standout performances, including Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez), Ariana Grande (Wicked), and Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain).
Audiard and Corbet are expected to shine in technical categories, with Emilia Pérez vying for Best Original Song and The Brutalist a strong contender for Best Cinematography and Editing. Despite critical acclaim, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers and its score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross did not make the shortlist, leaving The Brutalist as the favorite for Best Original Score.
