The Academy Award nominations were announced on Thursday, with "Emilia Perez" topping the list with 13 nods. The film, directed by Jacques Audiard, shattered the record for the most nominations for a non-English-language movie.

The musical, released by Netflix, tells the story of a narco boss who transitions to life as a woman and turns her back on crime. The film picked up nominations for best picture, best director, and best international film, among others.

Other notable nominees include "The Brutalist" and "Wicked," which each received 10 nods. Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown" and Vatican thriller "Conclave" received eight nominations each.

The Oscars ceremony is set for March 2, despite the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that have affected the city. The nominees were announced in subdued circumstances, with many in the industry affected by the fires.
