Nominations for the 97th Academy Awards have been dropped! Following a six-day delay due to the Los Angeles wildfires, contenders for the gold statuette were announced on Jan. 23. Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang presented the selections via livestream on the Academy’s website and social media pages (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook), as well as on ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu

This year, Jacques Audiard's "Emilia Pérez" leads the way with 13 nominations, including an appearance in best picture along with acting nods for Karla Sofia Gascón and Zoe Saldaña. The radical Netflix musical, which also landed as France's representation in best international film, follows a lawyer (Saldaña) helping a male cartel leader (Gascón) transition into a woman. Gascon's nomination marks the first time in Oscars history that an openly transgender actor is nominated. 

Following close behind "Emilia Pérez" are Brady Corbet's epic drama "The Brutalist" and Broadway adaptation "Wicked," which both notched ten nominations apiece. 

Demi Moore earned a nomination in supporting actress for her searing performance in Coralie Fargeat's body horror film "The Substance," the first Academy Award recognition for the star. Other first-time nominees include Sebastian Stan (best actor, "The Apprentice"), Mikey Madison (best actress, "Anora"), Fernanda Torres (best actress, "I'm Still Here"), Isabella Rossellini (best supporting actress, "Conclave"), and Guy Pearce (best supporting actor, "The Brutalist"). Torres finds herself in a particularly interesting situation as the second ever Brazilian actor to be nominated in her category—the first was her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, in 1999 for "Central Station." 

This year’s ceremony, hosted by Conan O’Brien, will take place March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in L.A.—just a little over five weeks after nominations were announced.

Here’s the full list of this year’s Oscar nominees.
