The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed shortlists in 10 categories, bringing several notable films and artists one step closer to an Oscar nomination. Among the contenders are the Selena Gomez ballad 'Mi Camino,' the Will Ferrell and Harper Steele documentary 'Will & Harper,' and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s score for 'Challengers.'
Two musicals, 'Emilia Pérez' and 'Wicked,' have made a strong showing in various categories. 'Emilia Pérez,' a Netflix drama centered on a transgender drug-lord, has secured nominations in international feature, original score, original songs like 'Mi Camino' and 'El Mal,' sound, and hair and makeup. Meanwhile, 'Wicked' has advanced in categories such as hair and makeup, original score, sound, and visual effects.
