Nicole Kidman, Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie, Margaret Qualley, Selena Gomez, and more missed out on key acting nominations this year.
After all the buzz and predictions, the nominees for the 97th Academy Awards were officially revealed Thursday morning—and Emilia Pérez is leading the pack with a whopping 13 nominations. Making major history, Karla Sofía Gascón, who plays the film’s titular role, became the first transgender woman to land an acting nomination. She’s in fierce company, joining Cynthia Erivo and Demi Moore in the category.
Following close behind are The Brutalist, an epic period drama, and Wicked, now officially the highest-grossing musical film adaptation of all time. Earlier this month, Emilia Pérez already scooped up four Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture–Musical or Comedy, while The Brutalist snagged Best Motion Picture–Drama.
