The 2025 Academy Awards nominations have been announced, revealing some surprising omissions. Stars like Selena Gomez, Nicole Kidman, and Pamela Anderson were overlooked despite strong performances and critical acclaim. The list also highlights the fierce competition this year, with several acclaimed films and actors missing the coveted nominations.
The 2025 Oscars nominations have been revealed, and some of this year's biggest stars, filmmakers, and movies missed the cut. Emilia Pérez leads the pack with 13 Academy Award nods, including Best Picture, Best International Feature Film, and Best Director for Jacques Audiard — but one major star was notably absent.
While leading ladies Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña secured nominations for Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Supporting Role, respectively, their costar Selena Gomez was conspicuously left out of the latter category. This snub is surprising for Gomez, 32, who garnered BAFTA and Golden Globes nominations for her role as Jessi Del Monte. She even won Best Actress at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival alongside Gascón, 52, Saldaña, 46, and costar Adriana Paz. Joining Saldaña in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category are Monica Barbaro for A Complete Unknown, Ariana Grande for Wicked, Felicity Jones for The Brutalist, and Isabella Rossellini for Conclave. Scroll down to see which stars were excluded from the 2025 Oscars nominations list: Selena Gomez Despite generating awards buzz for her performance in Emilia Pérez, Gomez was not nominated in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category. Nicole Kidman Kidman earned a Best Actress in a Motion Picture nod for her role in Babygirl at the 2025 Golden Globes. However, the film was omitted from the Oscar nominations list. Pamela Anderson Another Best Actress Golden Globe nominee, Anderson and The Last Showgirl were absent from this year’s Academy Awards nominees. Angelina Jolie Though Jolie did not receive an acting nomination for Maria, the film secured a single nomination for Best Cinematography. Denzel Washington Washington garnered several acting nominations at other awards shows for his performance in Gladiator II but faced stiff competition at the Oscars, ultimately being snubbed in the Best Actor in a Supporting Role category. Margaret Qualley While Demi Moore earned her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role, her The Substance counterpart did not receive a nomination. Daniel Craig Only five individuals were nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role, but Queer star Craig was not among them. The acclaimed film was completely overlooked, failing to receive a single nomination. Jamie Lee Curtis Curtis is already a Best Actress in a Supporting Role winner, but she did not receive another nomination in the category for her performance in The Last Showgirl. Amy Adams Like Kidman, Anderson, and Jolie, Adams did not secure a Best Actress in a Leading Role nomination despite her Golden Globe nod for Nightbitch. Jon M. Chu Wicked received a total of 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, but Chu was excluded from the Best Director category. Hugh Grant Like many of this year’s award season nominees, Grant did score an Oscar nomination for her performance in the horror film Heretic. Marianne Jean-Baptiste While the English actress received praise for her performance in Hard Truths, she and the film were not included on the Oscars nominations list. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross The Nine Inch Nails musicians were not nominated for Best Original Score despite winning the award at the 2025 Golden Globes for the Challengers soundtrack. (They previously won the category in 2010 for The Social Network.) The 97th annual Oscars will air on ABC Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET
