Selena Gomez and Angelina Jolie Left Out: The Biggest Oscar Snubs and Surprises of 2025

The 2025 Oscars nominations have been announced, and while some celebrities are over the moon with their nods, others are left feeling snubbed. The most-nominated film of the year is Emilia Pérez with a whopping 13 nominations, including Best Picture, Directing, and Cinematography. The film has had a successful award season so far, and its nominations come as no surprise.

Other films that have made it to the coveted Best Picture category include Anora, Conclave, Wicked, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Dune: Part Two, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys, and The Substance. Ariana Grande and Adrien Brody have also earned nominations for their work, and their fans are thrilled to see them being recognized. Kieran Culkin, Demi Moore, and Karla Sofía Gascón are also among the top acting categories, solidifying their positions as talented actors in Hollywood.

However, not everyone is celebrating. Selena Gomez, who received a Golden Globe nomination for her work on Emilia Pérez, has been left out of the Oscars nominations. This comes as a surprise to many, as she was expected to be a strong contender. Other notable snubs include Margaret Qualley for her role in The Substance, Angelina Jolie for her role in Maria, and Nicole Kidman for her role in Babygirl. Fans are expressing their disappointment and shock on social media, with many feeling that these actresses deserved to be recognized for their outstanding performances.

There have also been some surprise nominations, or rather, a lack thereof. The Last Showgirl, starring Pamela Anderson, received two Golden Globe nominations but failed to get a single nomination for the Oscars. Meanwhile, Monica Barbaro, who played the role of Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown, has found herself nominated for Best Supporting Actress. This comes as a pleasant surprise to many, as she had not received much attention for her work prior to the nominations.

The Oscars ceremony is set to be hosted by Conan O’Brien, who has expressed his excitement and cheekiness about the event. With the nominations announced, fans are eagerly waiting for the big night to see who will take home the coveted awards. Will Emilia Pérez sweep the categories, or will other films and actors take the spotlight? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the 2025 Oscars are going to be an exciting and unpredictable event.

In the meantime, fans are continuing to discuss and debate the nominations on social media. Some are expressing their outrage and disappointment over the snubs, while others are celebrating the surprise nominations. As the Oscars approach, the buzz and excitement are only going to grow, making it an event that no one will want to miss.
