2025 Oscar Nominations Set for Early Morning Announcement

After two delays caused by the wildfires impacting Los Angeles, the 2025 Oscar nominations for all 23 categories are set to be revealed on Thursday, January 23. The announcement will take place bright and early at 5:30 a.m. PT / 8:30 a.m. ET.

The nominations will be streamed live from the Motion Picture Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, across the Academy’s digital platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. National broadcast programs, such as ABC’s Good Morning America, along with streaming services like ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu, will also air the event.

This year, music is expected to play a significant role in the nominations, with major contenders in several categories. The musicals Wicked and Emilia Pérez, along with the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, are all strong candidates for best picture nominations.

Additionally, three actors from A Complete Unknown—Timothée Chalamet (playing Bob Dylan), Edward Norton (Pete Seeger), and Monica Barbaro (Joan Baez)—are all likely to receive acting nominations.

In the realm of musicals, six actors have strong chances for nominations. Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, and Selena Gomez are contenders for their roles in Emilia Pérez, while Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey could be nominated for their performances in Wicked. Furthermore, four actors are vying for nods for their roles in music biopics, including the aforementioned stars from A Complete Unknown and Angelina Jolie for her portrayal of Maria Callas in Maria.

The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O’Brien for the first time, will air live on ABC and broadcast outlets around the world on Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. For the first time, the ceremony will also be available for live streaming on Hulu. The official live red carpet show will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT.

The awards will take place at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, where it has been held for many years. Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan will serve as executive producers for the ceremony.

On Thursday, the Academy has announced the nomination categories, though the order in which they will be presented may change.
