The Academy’s first indication of what movies it favored this yr, the Oscars shortlists, have been launched on December 17 in ten classes. While a few of the classes are open solely to very particular movies (it’s unlikely that there’ll ever be overlap between the Documentary Short Film class and Best Picture), different classes, like Sound or Makeup and Hairstyling, may give a sneak preview of the larger names on nominations morning. So far: Emilia Pérez is trying robust. The French musical set in Mexico City a couple of transgender cartel head sits in six totally different spots on the shortlists. Still, it’s value remembering that Emilia Pérez has the benefit over its fellow Best Picture rivals like Anora or The Brutalist because it’s eligible for a number of Original Song entries, plus an entry in International Feature Film.
Also, you might word that Dune: Part Two is just not within the Best Original Score class — it was deemed ineligible for reusing motifs from the primary movie. Seems cheap till you discover that Wicked is in there regardless of utilizing motifs that have been current within the unique stage musical. A bit confusifying, however nominations will make clear on January 17. Below, the 2025 Academy Awards shortlist.
