The Oscars 2025 shortlist has notably overlooked a number of queer films, despite the Academy marking a significant moment for trans representation with the nomination of Karla Sofía Gascón. Films like the acclaimed documentary 'Will & Harper', which follows the evolving friendship between Will Ferrell and Harper Steele after Steele's transition, failed to secure a nomination. Additionally, Daniel Craig's praised performance in 'Queer' and other recognized queer films like Luca Guadagnino's 'Challengers' were conspicuously absent from nominations, raising questions about the recognition of LGBTQ+ narratives in the film industry this year.
Despite critical acclaim and audience praise, the Netflix documentary 'Will & Harper' and several other queer films were nominated snubbed for the Oscars 2025 shortlist.
The Academy Awards 2025 will highlight on-screen trans representation with Karla Sofía Gascón nominated, yet notable queer films and performances were overlooked.
Daniel Craig's performance in 'Queer' received accolades but did not earn a nomination, exemplifying the lack of recognition for many queer films this year.
