The 97th Academy Awards will take place March 2, 2025, live from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
Leading this year’s Oscar nominations is “Emilia Pérez” with 13 nods, followed by “The Brutalist” and “Wicked” with 10 each. “A Complete Unknown” and “Conclave” round out the top contenders with eight nominations apiece.
“Emilia Pérez” has tied last year’s “Oppenheimer” with 13 nominations, setting a record for the most nods for a non-English language film. The previous record holders were “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in 2000 and “Roma” in 2018.
The hosts of the Academy Awards
Since the first Oscars in 1929, winners have left lasting marks on the film industry. The late Walt Disney holds the record for the most Academy Award wins by an individual, with 26 Oscars.
Meanwhile, “Ben-Hur,” “Titanic” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” share the record for the most wins by a single film, with 11 each.
Nominees are selected by over 10,500 global film industry artists and leaders, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences website.
While all members vote for best picture, most categories are determined by professionals within their respective fields — actors nominate actors, directors nominate directors, and so on.
Scroll below for a look at the top 10 films with the most Oscar wins, the individuals with the most Academy Awards, and the actors with the most nominations.
