The 97th Academy Awards nominations spotlight lesser-known films that embrace progressive themes, with frontrunners Emilia Perez, which explores trans identity, leading the nominations with a total of 13. The Brutalist, a three-and-a-half-hour film about immigrant trauma and antisemitism, follows closely with 10 nominations. Wicked, addressing authoritarianism and resistance, also secured 10 nominations but missed out on notable categories. The best picture race is notably competitive this year, with films like Conclave, Nickel Boys, and I'm Still Here diversifying the narrative pool compared to last year's determined favorites.
Emilia Perez, a musical exploration of trans identity, has captivated Oscar voters, receiving 13 nominations, the most of any film this year, showcasing significant cultural narratives.
The Academy’s nod to The Brutalist, a poignant reflection on immigrant trauma and antisemitism, positions it as a strong contender in this year's Oscars race.
