Oscars 2025: Isabella Rossellini Shines with Nomination for “Conclave”
13 nominations for “Emilia Pérez”, 10 for “The Brutalist”
The 2025 Academy Award nominations have been announced, and among the standout contenders is Isabella Rossellini, who has earned a nod for Best Supporting Actress for her remarkable performance in “Conclave”. This marks a major milestone in Rossellini’s illustrious career, as the nomination highlights her ability to captivate audiences with her nuanced portrayal of Sister Benedicta Agnes.
Directed by Edward Berger, “Conclave” is a gripping drama set within the secretive walls of the Vatican during a papal election. Rossellini’s character brings emotional depth to the story, offering a lens into the humanity and moral complexities of those involved. “This joy,” Rossellini said, “makes my mind linger on the beyond of David Lynch. Our collaboration was fundamental to my understanding of the art of acting. It’s my past, everything I have inside, that I brought into my portrayal of Sister Agnes in “Conclave”, working under Edward Berger’s clear and precise direction, alongside an incredible cast and crew, especially the incomparable Ralph Fiennes. Thank you to the Academy; I am deeply honored.”
Rossellini, the daughter of cinematic legends Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini, has always been a force in both European and American cinema. While her career has spanned decades and genres, this Oscar nomination represents a significant achievement, solidifying her status as one of the industry’s most respected talents.
This year’s nominations were led by “Emilia Pérez”, Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language, French-made narco-musical about trans identity. With 13 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, and Best Director, “Emilia Pérez” broke records as the most-nominated non-English-language film in Oscar history.
Among the nominees for Best Short is Anuja, an Indian short film directed by Adam J. Graves, that tells the story of a girl from New Delhi, forced to spend her days sewing clothes instead of going to school. The music for this documentary is written by Italian composer Fabrizio Mancinelli, a member of the Academy since June. “It’s a small project, but one of those that makes you feel good, that reminds you why you do this work,” says Mancinelli, who is in his first Oscar campaign, but has composed for major studios like Disney, Universal, and Paramount, and conducted the orchestra for Kris Bowers on “Green Book”, “The Color Purple”, and “Bob Marley: One Love.”
Other leading contenders include Wicked, Jon M. Chu’s lavish adaptation of the Broadway hit, and Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, both receiving 10 nominations. Among the Best Picture nominees are “Anora”, “The Brutalist”,” A Complete Unknown”, “Conclave”, “Dune: Part Two”, “Emilia Pérez”, “I’m Still Here”, “Nickel Boys”, “The Substance”, and “Wicked”.
Notable acting nominations include Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), and Mikey Madison (Anora). Meanwhile, the Best Director race features Jacques Audiard (Emilia Pérez), Jon M. Chu (Wicked), and Coralie Fargeat (The Substance), who earned a rare spot for a female director.
The nominations reflect a year of resilience for Hollywood, which weathered devastating wildfires that tested the industry’s strength. With no clear frontrunner, this year’s Oscars promise a celebration of creativity amid adversity.
