The French film starring Karla Sofia Gascón could make history by awarding for the first time a trans actress, nominated in the best actress category along with Demi Moore, Mikey Madison, Cynthia Erivo and Fernanda Torres, all of them debutants. In fact, the Madrid actress already won the award for best actress at the Cannes Festival, and has continued to expand her record. This so-called musical narco tells the story of Manitas del Monte, a drug trafficker who asks a lawyer (Zoe Saldaña, also nominated) for help to disappear from the map. The reason? She is a woman and wants to move. A story of overcoming that also shows the reality of Mexico, but not without controversy due to the director's biased view of the country's reality, a fact for which the filmmaker apologized. The other favorite is The brutaliststarring Adrien Brody and that has a place in the categories of best film, direction, original screenplay, supporting actress (Felicity Jones) or supporting actor (Guy Pearce).
In the race for the statuette, Brody—the only one of the candidates who already has one The pianist— will be measured with Colman Domingonominated for the second consecutive year by The Lives of Sing Sing (3 nominations), Sebastian Stan (The apprentice), the characterization of Timothée Chalamet like Bob Dylan in A perfect stranger o Ralph Fiennesthe protagonist of a thriller like Conclave that develops when a new pope has to be elected. Just as there are doubts about who will finally win the award, there seems to be quite a consensus on the favorite for best supporting actor, with a Kieran Culkin that stands out in all the pools for its role in A real painwhich has also done double with a nomination for best original screenplay.
The Academy also wanted to give a nod to its most iconic musical, which this year has arrived in film format and whose second part yet to be released could make the awards wait a while. Wicked He is competing in most of the important categories (film, director, actress and supporting actress) and it seems that, if he wins a statuette, he will be valued in more creative categories such as costume design or visual effects.
-For its part, Anora has made the leap to the Hollywood awards with a story that is far from politically correct and that many have labeled as a Pretty Woman contemporary. It tells the story of a young prostitute from Brooklyn who has the opportunity to live a Cinderella story when she impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch. A fairy tale that will cease to be one when his parents join forces to annul the marriage. In addition to film and actress, the film also has representation in the categories of direction, original screenplay, supporting actor or editing. And from one woman to another, because The substance It has also managed to win a good handful of recognitions, with Demi Moore being able to get her first Oscar after a long career and criticizing the great aesthetic pressure that women suffer, of which she has also been (and is) a direct victim.
Other films that have received nominations, especially in the technical categories, have been Dune: Part 2 —also for best film— and Nosferatuwith 5 and 4 nominations, respectively, while the remake of Gladiator He has been left with only one nomination. He catalan cinema It was also eligible for representation at the 2025 Oscars, however, there has been no luck for the two Catalan candidates who could have gotten an official nomination in the best short film category. These are Paris 70 and The Great Work, by Dani Feixas and Àlex Lora, which have finally been left out of the competition. As best international film, it is striking that two films have done a double with the mother category —Emilia Perez y I'm still herefrom France and Brazil—and will compete with The girl with the needle (Denmark), The seed of the sacred fig tree (Germany) and the animated film Flow (Latvia), also represented in the animation category.
