One of the more impassioned replies on X seemed to be aimed at
Emilia Pérez notching 13 nominations, the most by a non-English-language movie in Oscars history.
Wicked earned 10 nominations total, with the film’s leads Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande both nominated in their roles.
The Substance, starring Demi Moore, also earned five nominations.
Some snubs were mentioned by a few with Denzel Washington’s role in
Gladiator II seemingly overlooked, along with Nicole Kidman in
Babygirl and Angelina Jolie in
Maria among others. Fan favorite actor Colman Domingo earned an Actor in a Leading Role for his role in
Sing Sing, going against Timothée Chalamet, Adrien Brody, Ralph Fiennes, and Sebastian Stan.
In the Actress in a Leading Role category, the aforementioned Cynthia Erivo was nominated for her role in
Wicked. Karla Sofía Gascón, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, and Fernanda Torres round out the nominees there.
