Wicked: Part I, Jon M. Chu (2024)

Wicked (Jon M. Chu, 2024)

Cast: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage (voice), Andy Nyman, Courtney Mae-Briggs, Bowen Yang. Screenplay: Winnie Holman, Dana Fox, based on the musical play by Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz and the novel by Gregory Maguire. Cinematography: Alice Brooks. Production design: Nathan Crowley. Film editing: Myron Kerstein. Music: John Powell, Stephen Schwartz. 

I admit that I didn't much care for Wicked. The few things I did like about it, such as Jonathan Bailey's impish Fiyero, were overwhelmed by frantic choreography, ugly (and naturally Oscar-winning) sets, and noisy special effects. It's a movie for children of all ages, as they say, but maybe especially hyperactive ones.

Predictions

Putting these out there to be accountable when we find out the Oscar winner. Below the cut.

Here's the list of nominees. Movies I expect to win are in bold, but movies I wish would win are in italics. I'm leaving out the categories where I don't have enough knowledge for (either haven't seen enough of the movies, or don't know the field enough to judge.)

Caveat: I have not seen A Complete Unknown (though politically, I think it will sweep), Emilia Perez (never), I'm Still Here, Nickel Boys, or Wicked (though I intend to see all of them before the awards, EXCEPT Emilia Perez.) So that may bias my picks, and if I come back and tell you Nickel Boys is the most revolutionary cinematography of the 21st century, don't be entirely suprised.

See the full list of Oscar nominations for 2025 Academy Awards

By Eric Henderson

Updated on: January 23, 2025 / 1:20 PM EST / CBS News

Nominations for the 97th annual Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning, with "Emilia Pérez," "A Complete Unknown" and "Conclave" at the top of the heap in overall nods. This comes after the nominations were delayed twice due to the Los Angeles area wildfires. 

Leading the pack in overall nominations, with 13 total, is "Emilia Pérez," a crime musical centering around a cartel leader who has transitioned. That achievement is just one nomination shy of tying the record for overall nominations from a single film; "Titanic," "All About Eve" and "La La Land" all received 14.

Actress Karla Sofía Gascón, playing the titular role, made Oscar history by being the first transgender woman to be nominated in any acting category. She joins a competitive field that also includes Cynthia Erivo, from "Wicked," and Demi Moore, whose performance in the bloody body horror hit "The Substance" has stirred up a conversation on the industry's mistreatment of women of an age. Both Moore and the film itself were expected to get nominations in the top Oscar categories.

Behind "Emilia Pérez" in overall nominations were "The Brutalist" and "Wicked," which each received 10 nominations. All three, along with "The Substance," were among the 10 nominated for the best picture award, where they were joined by "A Complete Unknown," "Conclave," "Anora," "Dune: Part Two," "Nickel Boys" and "I'm Still Here."

"Emilia Pérez" won four Golden Globes earlier this month, including best motion picture musical or comedy, and best supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña's performance. "The Brutalist," a 215-minute epic about a Holocaust survivor who emigrates to America post-WWII, won Golden Globes for best motion picture drama, and lead actor Adrian Brody was also a Globe winner. Both Saldaña and Brody were nominated in their respective Oscar categores.

Actors Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott hosted the live announcement.

Constance Wu and Awkwafina in Crazy Rich Asians (Jon M. Chu, 2018)

Cast: Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, Gemma Chan, Lisa Lu, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong, Sonoya Mizuno, Chris Pang, Jimmy O. Yang. Screenplay: Peter Chiarelli, Adele Lim, based on a novel by Kevin Kwan. Cinematography: Vanja Cernjul. Production design: Nelson Coates. Film editing: Myron Kerstein. Music: Brian Tyler.

Bright performances and a sumptuous production enhance Crazy Rich Asians, but it’s really the novelty of an almost all-Asian cast that brought this otherwise likable but conventionally plotted romantic comedy to widespread notice.
