Biggest Oscar 2025 snubs as Angelina Jolie and Pamela Anderson miss out on nominations

The Oscars nominations have finally been revealed after weeks of delays due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony is set to be hosted by US comic Conan O’Brien and will take place on 2 March.

Nominations for this year’s coveted event were due to be announced last week, yet had to be postponed after the voting period was extended. Blockbusters such as Wicked and Dune: Part Two are expected to compete with one another alongside Emilia Pérez and The Brutalist.

Actors Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott have been given the honour of revealing this year’s nominations. The awards season for movies released in 2024 began with the Golden Globes. Emilia Pérez led all of the winners with four wins including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, while The Brutalist won three Golden Globes including Best Motion Picture – Drama.

Meanwhile, nominations for the Producers Guild Awards have also been revealed, which could give a taste as to what to expect at the Oscars. The 10 nominees are Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, A Real Pain, September 5, The Substance and Wicked.

However, some very big names were left off the list that has shocked fans. Film fans were gobsmacked to see that Selena Gomez, who had the role of a Mexican drug lord’s unhinged wife who acts in desperation after she believes her spouse died, missed out on a nomination.

In a surprising turn of events, her co-star Zoe Saldana was nominated for her part as a lawyer who helps the drug lord transition into a woman and begin a new life. Karla Sofía Gascón, who is the lead actress in the production, was also nominated ahead of Selena.

Film fans were also shocked to learn that Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie was snubbed for for her role as opera singer Maria Callas in Maria. Elsewhere, Nicole Kidman missed out on a nod for her performance in Babygirl. The Australian-born actress played Romy Mathis, a married tech company CEO who begins an affair with a young intern (Harris Dickinson).

Pamela Anderson was also a star who missed out on a nomination for her impressive performance as a Las Vegas performer in The Last Showgirl. And Stanley Tucci was also overlooked in the Best Supporting Actor for his powerful performance in Conclave.
