At long last, the 2025 Oscar nominations are here — and there are a number of snubs and surprises in the field.

Some people have expressed concerns about moving forward with the Academy Awards after wildfires devastated parts of Los Angeles. Following a few delays in the nominations announcement, the show is planned to go on, airing March 2.

Emilia Pérez leads the pack with 13 nominations, despite its budding reputation as the villain of this awards season. Wicked and The Brutalist are close behind with 10 nods.

Yahoo Entertainment is guiding you through which movies and actors many people were shocked to see make the list and shocked to see left out of the nominations.

Selena Gomez

The trio of core actresses from Emilia Pérez were often nominated for awards this season, but this time, Gomez missed out on a nod for her supporting role. Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña were both recognized by academy voters.

Challengers and Queer

Both of director Luca Guadagnino’s eligible films were shut out of the Oscars.

Winning a Golden Globe didn’t generate enough buzz to get Challengers a nomination for Best Score, and Daniel Craig missed out on an expected Best Actor nomination for Queer.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste

Though she has already racked up several nominations for her emotionally complex lead role in Hard Truths, she was snubbed by the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Angelina Jolie

Considered a frontrunner by many for her performance as the title character in Maria, she wasn’t among those nominated this time around for Best Actress.

A Real Pain

Though Kieran Culkin is dominating the Best Supporting Actor race this season and actor-director Jesse Eisenberg received a nomination for Best Original Screenplay, the film itself wasn’t nominated for Best Picture.

Nickel Boys

The unique POV filming style used in Nickel Boys didn’t earn it a cinematography nomination, though it’s a welcome surprise to see it get a Best Picture nod.

Jon M. Chu

Though Wicked earned an impressive 10 nods overall, its director wasn’t nominated himself.

Surprises

Though the film has been part of awards conversations all along, it’s still surprising to see a campy horror film receive five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Coralie Fargeat and Best Actress for Demi Moore.

Nosferatu

Just like with The Substance, it’s unexpected to see a horror film rack up so many awards — but Nosferatu hasn’t been considered a contender as much as The Substance has. Its four nominations for Production Design, Cinematography, Costume Design, and Makeup and Hairstyling come as a huge shock.

Monica Barbaro

A Complete Unknown has been gaining momentum over the past few months, and a Best Supporting Actress nod for Barbaro cements the academy’s love for the film.

Sebastian Stan

The actor earned a double nomination at the Golden Globes for Best Actor in both categories — but he won for the comedy A Different Man. At the Oscars, he’s just nominated for portraying Donald Trump in The Apprentice.

I’m Still Here

Fernanda Torres earned a Golden Globe for her performance in the Brazilian drama, but it’s striking to see the film nominated for Best Picture.
