The 2025 Oscars nominations were announced Thursday morning and there was no shortage of big surprises and snubs among the major nominees. As expected, the musical crime drama Emilia Pérez had s huge presence with 13 nominations overall. However, one key player in the film—Selena Gomez—missed out on a nomination.

Emilia Pérez’ led the pack with 13 nominations, followed by ‘Wicked’ and ‘Conclave.’ And there were a few notable firsts. The Big Apple might be the city that doesn’t sleep, but this morning the City of Angels was abuzz bright and early for the announcement of the 97th Academy Award nominations.

And I've got the list of most egregious 2025 Oscar snubs to prove it—ranked from most to least surprising. Um, excuse me, Academy voters, I think you might have forgotten to watch Babygirl. There is no way you could have watched this tantalizing drama and not have nominated Nicole Kidman.

The academy's tradition of hewing to a straight line gloriously broke form by making the transfixing Gascón the first openly trans actor to receive an Oscar nomination. Gascón may have a tough time beating comeback queen Demi Moore ("The Substance") in the race for Oscar gold, but it will be a blast watching her try.
