Oscars 2025 nominations full list: Hollywood’s swipe at Trump and the biggest snubs

After the LA fires caused a delay, the 2025 Oscars nominations were finally announced this morning. Emilia Pérez, a musical about a drug lord’s journey to become a transgender woman, leads with a record 13 nominations for a film not in English. Just behind on 10 nominations is Wicked: Part One and also . Meanwhile, Papal thriller Conclave and Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown follow on eight nods.

Additionally, has taken a huge swipe at the re-election of with a Best Actor Oscar nomination for Sebastian Stan. He stars in The Apprentice, which follows the 45th and 47th president during his early business career in 1970s New York when mentored by the man who taught him to win at all costs. The Academy Award nod particularly stands out post-Trump’s return to the Oval Office as, during production, no major studio would touch the contentious independent film, which received a limited cinematic release in the US ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The Apprentice is particularly controversial as it features a scene with the future Commander-in-Chief raping his then-wife Ivana. She accused him of rape when they were divorcing in 1990 but later distanced herself from this claim which Trump – – strongly denies.

Among the biggest Oscars snubs this year were Gladiator II’s Denzel Washington, Queer’s , Maria’s Angelina Jolie and The Last Showgirl’s Pamela Anderson. The full list of the 2025 Academy Awards nominations is below.
