Statistics
Emilia Pérez sets the record for most nominations for a non-English language film at 13. Previous record holders, with 10 nominations each, were Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Roma (2018).
Emilia Pérez and I’m Still Here are the 10th and 11th non-English language films to be nominated for both International Feature Film and Best Picture in the same year. Each of the previous films (Z, 1969; Life Is Beautiful, 1998; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000; Amour, 2012; Roma, 2018; Parasite, 2019; Drive My Car, 2021; All Quiet on the Western Front, 2022; The Zone of Interest, 2023) won for International Feature Film. To date, Parasite is the only film to also win Best Picture.
In the acting categories, 13 individuals are first-time nominees (Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, Kieran Culkin, Karla Sofía Gascón, Ariana Grande, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, Guy Pearce, Isabella Rossellini, Zoe Saldaña, Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong, Fernanda Torres). Colman Domingo is the only acting nominee who was also nominated last year. Adrien Brody is a previous acting winner.
Three acting nominations are for non-English language performances: Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña in Emilia Pérez, and Fernanda Torres in I’m Still Here. In eight of the last 10 years, at least one non-English language performance has been nominated in the acting categories.
For the sixth consecutive year, at least one film nominated for Best Picture has been directed by a woman.
Coralie Fargeat’s nomination for The Substance is the 10th Directing nomination for a woman.
Best Picture nominations for Emilia Pérez and Wicked mark the first time two musicals have been nominated in the category since 1968 (Oliver! and Funny Girl were two of the five nominated films that year).
Jacques Audiard, nominated for Directing and Original Song for Emilia Pérez, becomes only the third person to be nominated in both the Directing and Original Song categories, and the first to do so for the same film. Leo McCarey (Directing: 1937, 1944, 1945; Song: 1957) and Spike Jonze (Directing: 1999; Song: 2013) received their nominations in separate years.
Diane Warren, Original Song nominee for “The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight, is nominated for the eighth year in a row, bringing her total nominations in the category to 16 (tying with Paul Francis Webster, and behind Johnny Mercer at 18 and Sammy Cahn at 26). She received an Honorary Award in 2022.
For the fifth year in a row, a non-English language song has been nominated in the Original Song category.
Sound mixer Andy Nelson (Wicked) has a record 25 nominations in the combined Sound categories and is second only to John Williams (with 54) for the most nominations for a living person.
Flow becomes the third animated film to be nominated for International Feature Film (Waltz with Bashir, 2008; Flee, 2021) and the second animated film to be nominated for both Animated Feature Film and International Feature Film (Flee, 2021).
Chris Sanders ties the record for most nominations for Animated Feature Film with his fourth nomination in the category (tying Pete Docter and Hayao Miyazaki).
France (Emilia Pérez) continues to add to its record number of nominations for International Feature Film with its 39th nomination (Italy is second with 30 nominations).
Eric Nyari is only the fifth individual to be nominated for both Documentary Feature Film (Black Box Diaries) and Documentary Short Film (Instruments of a Beating Heart) in the same year. The last person to accomplish this was Charles Guggenheim in 1994.
The 97th Academy Awards will be presented on Sunday, March 2, at the Dolby Theatre. Conan O'Brien returns as host.
