Oscars 2025: Guy Pearce scores nomination for 97th Academy Awards

Guy Pearce has scored a Best Supporting Actor nomination for this year’s Oscars for his role in The Brutalist.

His recognition at the 97th Academy Awards follows a run of nominations for the Australian, including supporting actor nods at the Golden Globes and the UK’s answer to the Oscars, the BAFTA Awards.

Pearce isn’t the only Aussie nominated, with Oscar-winning animator Adam Elliot up for Best Animated Feature Film for Memoir of a Snail.

Elliot’s stop-motion film won Best Film at the London Film Festival last October but failed to get a BAFTA nomination.

Clearly the film’s proved more popular in the US across awards season, where it snagged Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards nominations.

Despite scoring a Golden Globe nomination for her erotic thriller Babygirl, Nicole Kidman missed out on an Oscar nomination in the Best Actress category.

Golden Globe winner Demi Moore continued her awards season run with a nomination for Best Actress in The Substance.

She’ll go up against Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), Mikey Madison (Anora) and Fernanda Torres (I’m Still Here).

Gascón’s Emilia Pérez co-star Zoe Saldaña scored a Best Supporting Actress nomination but Selena Gomez missed out.

Emilia Pérez leads with 13 nominations, followed by The Brutalist and the movie musical Wicked, which both scored 10 each.
