The 2025 Oscar nominations were revealed Thursday morning.
Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced this year’s nominees live at 530 a.m. PT from the Film Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The Saturday Night actress and Wicked actor shared the nominations for the 2025 Oscars across 23 categories, including best picture, director, actor, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, adapted and original screenplay, documentary, animated feature, original song, score, costume design, makeup and hairstyling, cinematography, editing, visual effects, production design and more.
The announcement of the 2025 Academy Awards nominees, originally set for Friday, Jan. 17, was delayed twice amid the Los Angeles wildfires, which have left at least 28 people dead with more than 14,000 structures destroyed and nearly 40,000 acres burned.
As the fires raged across Los Angeles on Jan. 8, the day voting for this year’s nominees opened, the Film Academy extended the voting window through Jan. 14 with a plan to announce this year’s nominees on Jan. 19. But as the devastation caused by the fires continued to unfold the following week, on Jan. 13, the Academy again extended the nominations voting window until Jan. 17 and set Jan. 23 as the date for this year’s announcement.
The Academy has also donated $1 million to the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s wildfire relief efforts including $250,000 that it would’ve spent on the Oscar nominees luncheon on Feb. 10, which has been canceled.
Still the Academy plans to move forward with this year’s Oscars but revealed Wednesday that this year’s awards ceremony will also “honor Los Angeles.”
“We will honor Los Angeles as the city of dreams, showcasing its beauty and resilience, as well as its role as a beacon for filmmakers and creative visionaries for over a century,” Academy CEO Bill Kramer and president Janet Yang said in a letter to members. “We will reflect on the recent events while highlighting the strength, creativity, and optimism that defines Los Angeles and our industry.”
The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O’Brien, will air live coast-to-coast on Sunday, March 2, from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, starting at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET, continuing with the earlier start time the show debuted last year, on ABC and Hulu.
