  • Story Text: Netflix's NFLX.O Spanish-language musical "Emilia Perez" topped the list of movies nominated on Thursday (January 23) for Academy Awards, followed by "The Brutalist" and "Wicked."
    "Emilia Perez," the story of a Mexican drug lord who transitions to a woman and starts a new life, earned 13 nominations. "The Brutalist," about a Holocaust survivor 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 trophy at the Oscars ceremony in Hollywood on March 2.
    "A Complete Unknown," starring Timothee 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 honours were postponed twice as Los Angeles grappled with wildfires that devastated parts of the city this month. Several red-carpet celebrations have been postponed or canceled.
    The Oscars ceremony will proceed as a celebration of film and the resilience of Los Angeles, organisers said.
