Comedians Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott announced nominations for the 2025 Academy Awards on Thursday morning in a live broadcast from Beverly Hills.

Emilia Pérez, Netflix’s musical about a trans drug lord in Mexico, leads with 13 nominations – including nods for star Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña for their acting, Jacques Audiard for directing, and a nomination for Best Picture.

Wicked and The Brutalist follow with 10 nominations each, including Best Picture. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were both nominated for their acting in Wicked, for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively. Adrien Brody, who plays a Jewish architect who immigrates to the U.S. after World War II in The Brutalist, also got an acting nod.

Nominations have been delayed twice due to the raging fires in Southern California, which upended the entertainment industry just as Hollywood’s annual awards season kicked off. The annual Academy luncheon honoring nominees was cancelled altogether.

The 2025 Academy Awards ceremony is still slated to take place on Sunday, March 2, hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien at the Dolby Theater. In a letter shared with members Wednesday and obtained by NPR, Academy leaders said the ceremony “will celebrate the work that unites us as a global film community and acknowledge those who fought so bravely against the wildfires.”
