Here’s who was nominated for this year’s Oscars

Film critic Richard Crouse says ‘The Brutalist’ is the movie to beat the Oscars, and that Demi Moore could take the best actress award.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The nominees for the 97th Academy Awards have been announced.

Leading the way is Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” a Spanish language, French-made film, with 13 nominations, including best picture and best actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, making her the first openly trans actor ever nominated for an Oscar.
