Nominations for the 97th Oscars were revealed Thursday morning in a ceremony featuring presenters Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang.
The noms come at the apex of a another wild movie awards season that began in earnest as far back as May, when movies like eventual frontrunners Emilia Pérez and Anora made their splashy debuts at the Cannes Film Festival, and culminated when Wicked debuted on Thanksgiving weekend smashing box office records along its yellow-brick road.
All were front and center in the Academy’s shortlist announcements in December and again today.
Since then, the L.A. wildfires have forced myriad changes to the kudos season, and even the Oscars themselves, with the noms date pushed twice before settling on today.

On Wednesday this week, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences brass said the March 2 Oscar ceremony on ABC and Hulu would even “move away from live performances” of the Original Song nominees and focus on the songwriters,” hinting at a toned-down show that will “honor Los Angeles as the city of dreams” and “reflect on the recent events while highlighting the strength, creativity and optimism that defines Los Angeles and our industry.”
Today’s noms will set the stage for the Oscar ceremony, to be hosted by Conan O’Brien a year after Oppenheimer swept to seven wins including Best Picture after scoring a leading 13 nominations.
