The 2025 Oscar nominations are set to be announced at 8:30am ET (1:30pm GMT) on Thursday (January 23).
This year’s nominees will be revealed during a live broadcast presented by Bottoms actor Rachel Sennott and SNL star Bowen Yang from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Viewers can tune in on the Oscars website or Hulu.
The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have notably impacted this awards season, leading the Academy to extend the nomination voting period and delay the announcement, which was previously scheduled for January 17.
With the Golden Globes awarded earlier this month, several films have emerged as strong contenders for the Oscars.
Edward Berger’s papal drama Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, has garnered significant attention as has the divisive Netflix musical Emilia Pérez, which led with four wins at the Globes. Palme d’Or winner Anora and Brady Corbet’s epic The Brutalist, featuring Adrien Brody, are also leading the conversation.
Meanwhile, in the acting categories, Timothée Chalamet is a double threat with Dune 2 and Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown likely to receive attention. The Best Actress category is particularly tight with Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) and Demi Moore (The Substance) likely to go toe-to-toe.

The 97th Academy Awards will be hosted by Conan O’Brien and will take place on March 2.
