The Oscars 2025 nominations announcement is finally out, but it came after some delay as the Los Angeles wildfires affected the event’s planning. Nominations for the 97th Annual Academy Awards were released on Thursday, January 23, and the prestigious ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC on Sunday, March 2 at 7/6c. This time, Conan O’Brien will take over the hosting duties for the first time, making this year’s Oscars even more special.
Meanwhile, Hollywood veteran Demi Moore has reached a new height in her career. Moore, who started her career by starring as Jackie Templeton in ‘General Hospital’ (1982–1984), has earned an Oscar nomination for the first time. Her brilliant performance in her film The Substance has made her a strong contender for the lead actress trophy!
Demi Moore’s Powerful Performance—Interesting Role in ‘The Substance’
Demi Moore plays Elizabeth Sparkle, a famous aerobics instructor, in ‘The Substance’. But her story isn’t just about fitness—the film has a terrific horror twist.
Elizabeth uses a black-market drug that can transform her into a younger, more beautiful, and perfect version of herself. However, the film is not just a horror story but a bold attempt to expose the truth of “ageism” in Hollywood.
With this powerful character and amazing performance, Moore won the Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. Now, she will be seen on the Oscars stage as well!
Guy Pearce’s Oscar Debut—Powerful Performance in ‘The Brutalist’
Guy Pearce, who started his career with the Australian soap ‘Neighbours’, is in the headlines this year with his first Academy Award nomination. He got this nomination for his role of Harrison Lee Van Buren Sr. in the film ‘The Brutalist’.
In this role, Pearce is playing the role of a self-made millionaire who knows the price of everything but does not understand its real value. His powerful performance has put him in the race for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars 2025.
From soap opera to Hollywood
Soap fans first saw Guy Pearce as Mike Young in ‘Neighbours’ between 1986 and 1989. Interestingly, he reprised his iconic role in 2022, when the series ended after 37 years. Later, he also appeared in its revival on Amazon Prime, Amazon Freev, and Amazon Prime.
This new turn in Pearce’s career is taking his acting talent to a new level in Hollywood. Will he win his first Oscar? It will be very interesting to see!
