The Oscar nominations are out after being delayed by the California wildfires, and the musical crime thriller "Emilia Pérez" leads the field.

After a delay following the fires in Los Angeles, the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning, with “Emilia Perez,” “The Brutalist” “ and “Wicked” garnering multiple nods. “Emilia Pérez” led with 13 nominations, including best picture. “The Brutalist” and “Wicked,” also best picture nominees, both received 10.

The academy's tradition of hewing to a straight line gloriously broke form by making the transfixing Gascón the first openly trans actor to receive an Oscar nomination. Gascón may have a tough time beating comeback queen Demi Moore ("The Substance") in the race for Oscar gold, but it will be a blast watching her try.

From Emilia Pérez and its 13(!) nominations to the profoundly gross The Substance getting a Best Picture nod, the 2025 Oscar nominees addressed big social and political issues, all to varying degrees.
