Emilia Pérez received 13 nominations for the 97th annual Academy Awards, more than any other film this year and more than any other non-English language film in Oscar history. The latter record was previously held by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Roma (2018) with 10 nods each.
Runners-up to Emilia Pérez for most nominations this year were The Brutalist and Wicked, with 10 nods each; A Complete Unknown and Conclave with eight nods each; Anora with six; and Dune: Part Two and The Substance with five nods each.
Two musicals (Wicked andEmilia Pérez) were among the 10 films nominated for best picture. This marks the first time two musicals have been nominated for best picture in the same year since 1968, when Oliver! and Funny Girl were two of the five nominated films that year. The Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown was also nominated for best picture. The nominations were announced on Thursday (Jan. 23).

Three actors from A Complete Unknown – Timothée Chalamet (who plays Dylan), Edward Norton (Pete Seeger) and Monica Barbaro (Joan Baez) – are nominated for acting honors, the first time in Oscar history that three actors from a music biopic have been nominated.
Four actors received Oscar nominations for performances in musicals – Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña for Emilia Pérez, and Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande for Wicked.
Three acting nominations are for non-English language performances: Gascón and 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.
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.
Diane Warren was nominated for best original song for the 16th time — a tally equaled by only three other songwriters in the 91-year history of the category. Sammy Cahn leads with 26 nods, followed by Johnny Mercer with 18 and Paul Francis Webster, also with 16. Warren was nominated this year this year for “The Journey,” sung by H.E.R. in The Six Triple Eight. Moreover, this is the eighth year in a row she has been nominated, which enables Warren to tie Cahn for the longest continuous streak of nominations in this category. Cahn was nominated eight years running from 1954-61.
