Now, the most anticipated ceremony will take place in a couple of months – the Academy Awards. Last night (Thursday, 23rd January), The Academy revealed the full list of nominees for the 97th Academy Awards, which will take place on 3 March (Malaysia time).

The strong contenders, many of whom were also first-time Golden Globe nominees, are back, and we’re excited to reveal who has been selected for the chance to walk away with an Oscar. Let’s take a look at who made the final cut:

Truly manifesting the lyrics, “I want it, I got it,” from her hit “7 Rings”, Ariana Grande is now an Oscar-nominated actress! After starring in her first major film role as the iconic Glinda in “Wicked”, the superstar has received her first nomination in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category.

“I cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise. I’m humbled and deeply honoured to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny Ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ just before the big, beautiful bubble entered. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this acknowledgement @theacademy,” she wrote on Instagram.

2. Demi Moore

The actress shared the exciting news on her Instagram Story and expressed her gratitude in an interview with PinkVilla, saying, “Being nominated for an Oscar is an incredible honour, and these last few months have been beyond my wildest dreams.”

I have devoted my life to the attempt to do genuine work that would be worthy of this honour. I am filled with amazement and flooded with emotion and with deep gratitude to my peers in the Academy,” he told CNN.

Here’s what he said to the media who reached out to him: “All I’ve tried to do over the past 40 years is hone a craft and I thank all those who’ve helped me do so along the way. I’m eternally grateful for the lessons and equally grateful to the Academy for this recognition. Thank you, thank you!”

Spanish actress Karla Sofía Gascón is breaking records. Not only is this her first Oscar nomination, but she is also the first openly transgender actress to be nominated for an Academy Award!

NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO (Glory to the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra)!” she wrote on Instagram.

At 72 years old, the actress has finally received her first nomination in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role category for her work in “Conclave”. “I wish my parents were alive to celebrate with me this great honour. And also today with this joy in my mind can’t help lingering in the beyond to David Lynch,” she wrote on Instagram.

10. Monica Barbaro
