Emilia Pérez Sets Record with 13 Oscar Nominations

Jacques Audiard's *Emilia Pérez* has made history by leading the 2025 Oscar nominations with 13 nods, setting a record for the most nominations for a non-English language film. The film, a Spanish-language musical about a drug lord undergoing a gender transition, garnered nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, making her the first openly trans performer nominated for an Oscar. This surpasses the previous record held by *Roma* and *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*. Other notable films include *Wicked* and *The Brutalist*, both receiving 10 nominations each, alongside *Conclave*, which received eight. Despite Netflix's numerous nominations in past years, this could be their best chance to secure a Best Picture win. The competition remains fierce with several strong contenders in a wide-open Oscar race.
