The Academy has spoken! \u2026 Well, almost. As cinema\u2019s most prestigious night edges closer, the 2025 Oscars shortlist reveals its first wave of contenders. The race to the 97th <\/span><\/span>Academy Awards<\/span><\/span><\/a> has been a nail-biter, with a year of bold newcomers and industry titans filling up the nominations thanks to standout productions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Topping the early accolades, <\/span><\/span>Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/span><\/span><\/em> <\/a> shines with six mentions, from the electricity of its original score to nods for its original songs, \u2018El Mal\u2019 and \u2018Mi Camino\u2019. Not far behind is <\/span><\/span>Wicked<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/a> , Jon M. Chu\u2019s blockbuster take on the beloved musical, earning four nods.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Preliminary voting, which spans ten categories from makeup to visual effects, now sets the stage for Academy members to narrow the field before the complete voting begins on January 8. Among the shortlists <\/span><\/span>published<\/span><\/span><\/a> by <\/span><\/span>Variety<\/span><\/span><\/em> \u00a0are a slew of talented people behind the scenes, promising a neck-and-neck competition thanks to a year of striking visuals and sound.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As we anticipate the final nominations on January 17, the countdown to March 2 is officially underway, with Conan O\u2019Brien confirmed to host the ceremony.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
