“Emilia Pérez” star Karla Sofía Gascón is the first trans actor for an Oscar

After devastating forest fires in Los Angeles, which occurred in the heart of the film industry, a competitive Hollywood in Oscar nominations on Thursday behind the Netflix Narco-Musical on the trans-identity “Emilia Pérez”.

Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez”, a Spanish language film, dominated the nominations with 13 nominations, including the best picture and the best actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, which was the first openly transparent actor who was ever nominated for an Oscar. The film also landed nominations for direction, original script, two of its songs and for Zoe Saldaña.

Despite his leading role in Hollywood, Netflix has never won the best picture. Many of his top competitors previously made a large number of nominations (including “Mank”, “The Irish” and “Roma”), but went home with only a handful of trophies.

“Emilia Pérez” may be his best chance so far. It became the most nominated, not English language film of all time and exceeded Netflix ‘own “Roma”, which landed 10 nominations. Only three films – “All about Eva”, “Titanic” and “La La Land” – have achieved more nominations in the history of the Academy Awards.

Another musical – “Wicked”, the Smash Broadway adaptation – got away with almost as many nominations. Jon M. Chus wasteful “magician of OZ” reef collected 10 nominations, including the best picture and acting nod for his stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

“The Brutalist”, Brady Corbet’s Post -War -Epos filmed in Vistavision and published by A24.

The 10 nominees for the best picture are: “Anora”; “The brutalist”; “A complete unknown”; “Conclave”; “Dune: Part two”; “Emilia Pérez”; “I’m still here.”; “Nickel Boys”; “The substance”; “Evil.”

In a wide-open Oscar race, the six honored films “Emilia Pérez”, “Wicked”, “The Brutalist”, “Anora” (six nominations) “Kezlave” (eight nominations) and “A Complete unnobe” (eight nominations “are )) Nominations) – Everything that is expected. The biggest surprises were the Brazilian film “I’m Still here”, a portrait of political resistance -drama, which had been overlooked by many guilds in earlier coordination.

These candidates probably exported some options for the best pictures in the prison drama “Sing Sing”, the journalism thriller “September 5” and the delicate comedy “A Real Pain”, although these films have landed all nominations elsewhere.

One of the boldest films in 2024, “The Apprentice”, landed a surprising couple nominations for Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong. The film dramatizes the formative years of President Donald Trump’s appearance in New York Real Estate under the direction of lawyer Roy Cohn. Trump named those who are involved with the film “Human Scum”.

In the best acting category in which Stan and Brody were nominated, the other candidates Timothée Chalamet (“A complete unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”) and Ralph Fiennes (“Figure”) were. Above all, Daniel Craig, who was celebrated for his very unholy bond performance in “Queer”.

Best actress, a category that Demi Moore for her full -bodied performance in “The Substance”, which had set nominations for Moore, Gascón, Torres, Erivo and the star of “Anora”, Mikey Madison. Probably the most competitive category of the year that Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“hard truths”), Pamela Anderson, “The Last Showgirl”), Nicole Kidman (“Baby Girl”) and Angelina Jolie (“Maria”).

“I have been a native of Los Angeles and so there has been so much devastation in the past few weeks and my heart breaks for La, but it’s really nice to get everyone together,” said Madison on Thursday. “Hollywood that just comes together and is celebrating film is really beautiful.”

In the director category, the filmmaker Coralie Fargeeat in “The Substance” managed to go to the otherwise male group of Sean Baker (“Anora”), Corbet, Audiard and James Mangold (“A Complete unknown”). Most had expected Edward Berger to be nominated for the direction of the papal thriller “Conclave”.

The supportive actor was listed by Kieran Culkin, the favorite for the award, because of his performance in “real pain”. The other nominees were: Yura Borisov (“Anora”), Guy Pearce (“The Brutalist”), Edward Norton (“A complete stranger”) and strong. The nominations of the part -time actress went to Grande, Saldaña, Jones, Monica Barbaro (“A complete unknown”) and Isabella Rossellini (“Conclave”).

The nominations were originally planned for January 17. After the forest fires were burned in Los Angeles by the Pacific palisades, Altadena and other areas on January 7, the academy missed its election window and remained annoying nominations. Fresh fire outside of Los Angeles lasted on Thursday during the nominations, which were announced by Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott.

Since so many from the fires in the film industry, some asked the academy to cancel the Oscars as a whole. The leaders of the academy have argued that the ceremony must be continued on March 2, for their economic effects on Los Angeles and as a symbol of resilience for the industry. The organizers have sworn, this year’s awards will “celebrate the work that combines us as a global film community and recognize those who fought so courageously against the forest fires”.

“We will think about the latest events and at the same time highlight the strength, creativity and optimism that defines Los Angeles and our industry,” said Bill Kramer, CEO of Bill Kramer, and Yang on Wednesday in an e -mail to the members.

But a large part of the usual foamness of Hollywood’s price season was severely restricted due to the fires. The film academy canceled its annual nominations. Other events were moved or reduced. On Wednesday, Kramer and Yang said that the original song nominated will not be performed this year. Conan O’Brien, whose house was spared from the fires in the Pacific palisades.

The Oscar nominations were followed by an expiry and expiry year for Hollywood, in which it recorded expansive delays according to the strike, wide swaths of unemployment workers due to an industry-wide slow slowdown in January. Perhaps the most humble was the presidential elections that Trump was brought back to office in a race in which the podcaster Joe Rogan was more fluctuating than all A-listers than everyone.

At the same time, the industry gathered, even in the middle of a downturn for the superhero film “and” Moana 2 “, a film that was originally developed as a series for Disney+. These films missed the nominations on Thursday, with the exception of” Inside Out “, who join the best animated nominated by “The Wild Robot”, “Flow”, “Memoire of a Snail” and “Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl”.

This uncertain state of the films seemed to reflect in the nominations that were spread on films, which were both widespread and not noticed, released and mostly streamed.

But in contrast to last year, when Hollywood gained the success of “Oppenheimer”, the film year 2024 offered no clear leader for the best honor in the industry. At least four or five films – including “The Brutalist”, “Emilia Pérez”, “Anora”, “Conclave” and “Wicked” – have at least four or five films that go to the Oscar ceremony to the Oscar ceremony – see.
