97th Academy Awards
Nominations Thu 23.Jan.25 • Awards Sun 2.Mar.25 Rich's comments: It's intriguing to see Oscar voters embrace the horror genre for the first time, with major nominations this year for The Substance and Nosferatu. It will be interesting to see if any of these convert into wins - but I would guess Demi Moore has a strong shot for the sentimental vote. Otherwise there have been several omissions, including Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, Clarence Maclin, Denis Villeneuve, Kneecap, Challengers, and most surprisingly RaMell Ross/Jomo Fray as director/cinematographer. And the Best Actress category was especially brutal, as Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Pamela Anderson, Nicole Kidman, Saoirse Ronan and Angelina Jolie all missed out for fiercely committed, award-worthy performances.
