The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released the shortlists for the 97th Academy Awards, narrowing down the competition in key categories.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unveiled the shortlists for the 97th Oscars in 10 categories on Tuesday, narrowing the field of contenders across documentary, international feature, music, sound and visual effects. This critical checkpoint in awards season trims hundreds of submissions to smaller lists, offering early indicators of front-runners, notable snubs and emerging trends ahead of the nominations, to be announced on January 17.
Hot off its strong showing in last week's Golden Globes nominations, Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez,” directed by Jacques Audiard, emerged as a major standout, earning mentions in five categories: international feature film, original score, original song (with two entries, “El Mal” and “Mi Camino”), sound and the combined makeup and hairstyling award. The Spanish-language crime musical tells the story of a cartel leader who decides to leave behind a life of violence by undergoing gender-reassignment surgery. Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked: Part I,” Universal Pictures’ hit adaptation of the much-loved Broadway musical, secured spots in sound, makeup and hairstyling and visual effects, reinforcing its momentum as a potential Oscar heavy-hitter heading into the next phase of voting. Another likely blockbuster best picture contender, Denis Villeneuve’s acclaimed “Dune: Part Two,” distributed by Warner Bros., dominated the technical categories as expected, making the shortlists in sound, visual effects and makeup and hairstyling. Ridley Scott’s historical epic “Gladiator II” and Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” also made strong showings, landing spots in both sound and visual effects categories. In the international feature film category, 15 films advanced from a total of 85 submissions. France’s “Emilia Pérez” leads the group alongside Denmark’s “The Girl With the Needle,” Brazil’s “I’m Still Here,” Germany’s “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” and Palestine’s “From Ground Zero”
