“Emilia Pérez” Breaks Records and Hearts as the Oscars’ Most-Nominated Non-English Film!

Buy Me A Coffee

Move over, Parasite—there’s a new history-maker in town, and she’s faking her death to live her best life!

Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language musical, Emilia Pérez, sashayed its way into the 2025 Oscars race with a jaw-dropping 13 nominations. Yes, 13—an unlucky number for some, but clearly not for this fabulous cartel queen and her crew. The nominations were announced on Thursday (January 23), and Emilia Pérez said, “Gracias, but I’ll take more, please.”

Here’s the rundown of its many nods:
– Best Actress (Karla Sofía Gascón, whose nomination is breaking barriers like a wrecking ball)
– Best Director (Audiard, likely crying happy French tears)
– Best Supporting Actress (Zoe Saldaña, who’s now officially collecting acting nominations like Infinity Stones)
– Adapted Screenplay, Original Score, Makeup and Hairstyling, Cinematography, Best Picture, and even a Best International Feature Film nomination for France.

Yes, France. Because nothing says international cooperation like a French film about a Mexican cartel leader en español.

What’s Emilia Pérez About, Anyway?
The plot of Emilia Pérez sounds like someone spun a wheel of chaos and said, “Let’s make it work.” It follows four badass women in Mexico, each chasing their own version of happiness. In the center of the chaos is Emilia, a cartel leader who’s tired of the whole crime thing (relatable). She ropes in Rita, an underpaid and overworked lawyer, to help her fake her own death. Why? So she can finally live her truth and stop being a full-time villain. Self-care looks different for everyone, okay?

The Reviews Are In—and They’re… Mixed?
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes have given the film a respectable 76% Fresh score, meaning most of them said, “You know what? It’s good.” Audiences, however, seem a little confused, serving up a 34% score. It’s giving “hate-watch energy.” Over on IMDb, it’s sitting at a modest 6.4, while Letterboxd reviewers slapped it with a 2.6 out of 5.

Emilia Pérez is either a groundbreaking masterpiece or a confusing fever dream—and we’re kind of here for both.

So, will it sweep the Oscars? Who knows. But one thing’s for sure: Emilia Pérez is not just breaking the rules; she’s rewriting them in glitter pen, fake-death certificate in hand. Oscars 2025, get ready for the drama!
