Oscars 2025: Full list of 97th academy awards nominations, details inside

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has finally declared the much-awaited Oscars nominations 2025. 97th Academy Awards were delayed many times due to LA wildfires

The much anticipated Oscar nominations for 2025 have finally been revealed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The horrific wildfires in Los Angeles caused several delays in the presentation of the 97th Academy Awards nominees.  

 

In a live-streamed event on January 23, actor-writer-comedians Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced the nominees, which had been originally planned on January 17. Conan O'Brien, who also lost his Pacific Palisades house to the wildfires, will host the Oscars, which are scheduled for March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre. 

India’s position in the Oscar 2025 nominees

Anuja, a film backed by Guneet Monga and Priyanka Chopra will be Indian representation at the 2025 Oscars in the 'Best Live Action Short Film' category. Only 5 of the 180 films that were eligible to compete for the Best Live Action Short Film award have made it to the finals. Along with Alien, I am Not a Robot, The Last Ranger, and A Man Who Would Not Remain Silent, Anuja is nominated.

 

 

Guneet has received 3 Oscar nominations. Her previous Oscar-winning films, The Elephant Whisperers and Period: End of Sentence got Indian cinema to a glorious level.

 

All We Imagine As Light, a lyrical drama film directed by Payal Kapadia, did not receive an Oscar nomination at the 97th Academy Awards. Although the movie was winning in the major categories, such as Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, it was selected as India's entry in the Best International Feature Film category. However, it also did not make the cut in either of those.
