Netflix musical Emilia Pérez piles up 13 Oscar nominations

LOS ANGELES — The Netflix movie musical Emilia Pérez led the Academy Award nominations on Thursday, giving the streaming service another shot at its first best-picture trophy, followed by historical drama The Brutalist and box-office smash Wicked.

Emilia Pérez, the Spanish-language story of a Mexican drug lord who transitions to a woman and starts a new life, earned 13 nominations. The Brutalist, a 3-1/2-hour tale about a Holocaust survivor and architect chasing the American dream, and The Wizard of Oz prequel Wicked picked up 10 nods each.

All three films will compete for the coveted best-picture prize at the 97^th Oscars ceremony in Hollywood. Winners will be announced at a live, televised ceremony on March 2.

A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet as a young Bob Dylan, dark romantic comedy Anora and papal selection drama Conclave also landed in the best-picture race.

The other nominated films were the science-fiction blockbuster Dune Part 2, Brazilian political docudrama I’m Still Here, racial drama Nickel Boys, and horror movie The Substance.

Nominations for the film industry’s highest honors were announced on Thursday in Beverly Hills as the Los Angeles area, the heart of the movie business, grappled with ongoing wildfires that devastated parts of the city. A new blaze erupted on Wednesday last week. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences postponed nominations twice due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. — Reuters
