Demi Moore earned her first Oscar nomination on Thursday, Jan. 23, recognized in the Best Actress category for her performance in 'The Substance.'

From Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie missing Best Actress nominations to strong showings for The Substance and I'm Still Here.

The directing lineup encompasses all first-timers — Sean Baker (“Anora”), Brady Corbet (“The Brutalist”), James Mangold (“A Complete Unknown”), Jacques Audiard (“Emilia Pérez”) and Coralie Fargeat (“The Substance”), a first since 1997 where James Cameron’s “Titanic” swept the ceremony. In fact, 13 of the 20 actors recognized their inaugural noms.

Other people up for their first Oscars include Zoe Saldaña, Mikey Madison, Sebastian Stan, Fernanda Torres and Isabella Rossellini.

Fernanda Torres' mom must be so proud. On Thursday, the star of Walter Salles' period drama I'm Still Here, repeated her mother Fernanda Montenegro's historic achievement from 1999 (for Central Station) becoming only the second Brazilian to be nominated by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in the best actress category.

Demi Moore's daughters are sharing praise for their mom after she earned her first Oscar nomination at the 2025 Oscars. Moore was nominated for best actress at the 97th Academy Awards for her work in the body horror film "The Substance" on Thursday.

Academy Awards nominees include Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón and I’m Still Here’s Fernanda Torres as history-making nominees. Find out how.
