Emilia Perez leads the nominations for this year's Oscars - and has broken the record for the most nominated non-English language film. The Spanish-language musical stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and Karla Sofia Gascon, who becomes the first transgender woman to be nominated in an acting category.
It has 13 nominations in total - closely followed by The Brutalist, Wicked, Conclave and A Complete Unknown. In the acting categories, Gascon is up for best actress against Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, Anora newcomer Mikey Madison, Golden Globe winner Demi Moore, for her performance in The Substance, and Fernanda Torres, for I'm Still Here.
Timothee Chalamet's portrayal of Bob Dylan in the biopic A Complete Unknown has earned him a nomination for best actor, alongside Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) and Colman Domingo (Sing Sing). This year's Oscars nominations announcement was originally scheduled to take place on 17 January, but was pushed back twice due to the wildfires which have devastated Los Angeles since the start of the year.
Winners will be announced at the star-studded Academy Awards ceremony, which is due to be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday 2 March. Comedian and TV personality Conan O'Brien is this year's host. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
