This year, marketing company Distinctive Assets is in charge of their “Everyone Wins” Oscars bags, which will go to all 25 top acting and directing nominees.
“While our gifts may be famous for being fun and fabulous, they also serve as a means to elevate small businesses, minority-owned brands, female entrepreneurs and companies that give back,” the company’s founder, Lash Fary, said.
“This year, on the heels of the historically tragic LA fires, we have found even more ways that our celebrity swag can do good in our community.”
In practice, that means this year’s Oscars goodie bag will include a membership to disaster recovery charity Bright Harbor, who is offering $1 million worth of services to those affected by the fires.
“Whether they pamper themselves or share these bountiful gifts as a care package for a friend who may have recently lost their home, we give these gifts not based on the recipients’ need but out of a desire to brighten someone’s day and to acknowledge a job well done,” Lash shared.
But, of course, not everyone will be feeling quite so jubilant.
With only a handful of slots to fill, some of the biggest and most-celebrated performances of the past 12 months have gone unchecked by the Academy, with cinephiles on social media already going off about this year’s most notable “snubs”.

Here are 11 of them…
Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig in Queer
Timothée Chalamet, Adrien Brody, Colman Domingo and Ralph Fiennes’ spots in the Best Actor category were pretty much dead certs by the time the Oscar nominations rolled around, leaving a few big names competing for the one remaining spot.
In the end, it’s gone to Sebastian Stan for his performance as Donald Trump in The Apprentice, but there are sure to be a few disappointed Daniel Craig fans.

The former James Bond actor couldn’t have been further from the roles that have made him most famous in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, in which he plays William Lee (a fictionalised version of the author William S Burroughs), an American writer who embarks on a journey of sexual and substance exploration.
Danielle Deadwyler and Ray Fisher in The Piano Lesson

American performer Danielle Deadwyler received a wave of acclaim for her performance in the August Wilson adaptation The Piano Lesson.
While the film itself failed to score much awards season buzz, fans had hoped Danielle might scrape through in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role as Berniece, a woman determined to hold onto her late father’s piano when the rest of her family are hoping to sell it.
Considering the original Gladiator was a Best Picture recipient, it might come as a surprise to some to see the sequel pick up just one nomination in 2025, in the Best Costume Design category.
Lead actor Paul Mescal was among those to be singled out for praise when the action-packed epic hit cinemas last year, but it’s Denzel Washington who was really being tipped for awards buzz.

After scoring a nomination at the Golden Globes last month, however, both the Baftas (who, interestingly, have never nominated Denzel in his entire 40-year screen career) and Oscars have paid him dust, making him one of this year’s most noticeable snubs.

It’s rare that you’ll find outcry over a snub in the Best Score category – but then again, it’s rare a score will capture people’s attention in the way that Challengers’ did.

The Nine Inch Nails musicians delivered one of last year’s most iconic contributions to the world of cinema when they scored Luca Guadagnino’s tennis-themed romance drama Challengers, perfectly amping up the tension between its central trio with their musical output.
We’re sure we’re not the only ones confused to see the score – which won a Golden Globe just a matter of weeks ago – not even nominated for an Oscar when it felt like such a shoo-in.
Margaret Qualley
Margaret Qualley in The Substance

The Substance has been the surprise hit of 2025’s awards season, and we’re over the moon to see not just Demi Moore landing an acting nomination, but Coralie Fargeat’s name popping up on the Best Director shortlist.
However, there’s no denying that The Substance was a two-header, and while we’re over the moon for Demi scoring her first Oscar nomination at this stage of her career, we’re still a little sad there wasn’t space for Margaret Qualley in the Best Supporting Actress category.
The Maid star has made no secret of what she put herself through to help bring the character of Sue (and, perhaps more impressively, Monstro Elisasue) to life, and she was the perfect foil to her Golden Globe-winning co-star’s character in the graphic body horror.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste
Marianne Jean-Baptiste in Hard Truths
She may not have had the fanfare and loud push behind her that the likes of Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo or even Demi Moore have had over the last few months, but Marianne Jean-Baptiste had quietly been climbing up the ranks as a contender for a Best Actress nomination thanks to her role in Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths.
When Hard Truths premiered at Toronto Film Festival towards the end of last year, Marianne’s performance as a pessimistic woman struggling to connect with those closest to her saw her being met with a wave of praise, which has translated into recognition from the Baftas and Critics’ Choice Awards.

The British performer was nominated for an Oscar once before for her role in another of Mike Leigh’s projects, Secrets & Lies.
Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl
Alright, we know this one was always going to be a long shot, but “Oscar nominee Pamela Anderson” had such a ring to it that we couldn’t help crossing our fingers that this could be her year.
Advertisement
Oscar nomination or not, we’ll still be seeing The Last Showgirl the second it hits UK cinemas, and we’re certain this is the beginning of a new era of the former Baywatch star’s career.
For the past few months, Stanley Tucci has been hovering around the middle of the list of favourites to score a Best Supporting Actor nod (which would have marked his second ever nomination, after 2009’s The Lovely Bones) but sadly, it wasn’t to be.
He’ll just have to make do with being the entire internet’s imaginary husband instead, we suppose…

The film, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s six-time Academy Award-winning “Dune.”\nThe big-screen epic continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed bestseller Dune with returning and new stars, including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (“Wonka,” “Call Me by Your Name”), Zendaya (“Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Malcolm & Marie,” “Euphoria”), Rebecca Ferguson (“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (“Avengers: End Game,” “Milk”), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (“Elvis,” “Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood”), Oscar nominee Florence Pugh (“Black Widow,” “Little Women”), Dave Bautista (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, “Thor: Love and Thunder”), Oscar winner Christopher Walken (“The Deer Hunter,” “Hairspray”), Stephen McKinley Henderson (“Fences,” “Lady Bird”), Léa Seydoux (the “James Bond” franchise and “Crimes of the Future”), with Stellan Skarsgård (the “Mamma Mia!” films, “Avengers: Age of Ultron”), with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling (“45 Years,” “Assassin’s Creed”), and Oscar winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men,” “Being the Ricardos”).\n“Dune: Part Two” will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.

With 10 slots in the Best Picture category and only five in Best Director, there’s always going to be someone who winds up disappointed.

But considering everything that Denis Villeneuve had to contend with to make Dune: Part Two the epic that it was (it’s one of the year’s most-nominated films thanks to recognition in more technical categories, which is no mean feat for a sequel), a Best Director nomination would have been fitting.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie in character as Maria Callas
The Best Actress category was absolutely heaving with competition this year, and we understand there can’t be room for everyone, but Angelina Jolie’s major comeback to the cinema world after a few years away felt so triumphant that an Oscar nomination would have been more fitting – especially given the performance she delivers in Maria.

While this may not be the year the former Best Supporting Actress wins over the Academy yet again, there’s no denying that it’s great to have Angelina back, and we can’t wait to see what this unusual thinker chooses for her next project.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez in Emilia Pérez
Emilia Pérez may not have been to everyone’s tastes, but do a quick search on social media for Selena Gomez’s name, and you’ll see it for yourself, there are a lot of people seriously pissed off that she didn’t make the cut.

The divisive Netflix musical is, of course, this year’s most-nominated film at the Oscars, with 13 nods in total. Had Selena been recognised, that number would have matched Emilia Pérez with Titanic, All About Eve and La La Land as the joint most-nominated films in history.
During Sunday’s show, moments before Al Pacino hit the stage to present Best Picture to “Oppenheimer,” Kimmel announced that he had a minute or so to spare before the end of the ceremony.
So, of course, he spent the time talking about his favourite hot topic: Trump.
Revealing that the former president had left him a scathing review of his hosting abilities on Truth Social, Kimmel began reading Trump’s message aloud from his phone to the audience.
“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars? His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC talent, George Slopanopoulos,” the late night host read. “He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.
“Blah, blah, blah,” Kimmel ad-libbed. “Make America Great Again.”
Kimmel didn’t finish reading the rest of Trump’s negative review, but the crowd roared in response to the non-scripted moment.
“Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching,” Kimmel quipped. “I’m surprised you’re still.”
And then, the six word zinger.
“Isn’t it past your jail time?”
Check out the complete list of Oscar winners here.
It’s safe that Al Pacino’s presentation of the night’s most important award is going to go down in history for how short, sweet and unbelievably ‘I don’t give af’ it was.
Rather than announcing the nominees for the award, The Godfather star simply went straight to opening the envelope before saying “my eyes see Oppenheimer.”
Zero suspense, zero build-up, no ‘the Academy Award goes to…’ for the biggest award of the night. Just straight up chaos – and honestly, we love to see it.
For the record, the nominees were: American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest and well, Oppenheimer.
Naturally X users (formerly Twitter) were quick to share their takes… and did not disappoint:
Danielle Brooks paid tribute to Black female nominees who came before her with a statement manicure at this year’s Oscars.
The Color Purple actor, who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for this year’s ceremony had the number 26 featured on her nails as she took to the red carpet.
She said: “I have ’26’ on my nail, because I’m the 26th black woman to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress, so I had to at least honour that.”
Brooks received her first ever Oscar nomination for her role as Sofia in last year’s “The Color Purple,” a musical adaptation of the classic Alice Walker novel of the same name. She has also played Sofia in Broadway productions of “The Color Purple.”
The actor also received nominations for her performance at other award shows this season, including the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Speaking about her recent award show recognition, Brooks told Entertainment Tonight last month that she “could have never imagined it being mapped out like this.”
Every year, the Oscars ceremony features some of our favourite film stars, directors, writers and even musicians accepting one of the most prestigious cinema awards there is in front of their peers.
Here are 24 of the living Hollywood stars who, surprisingly, still have an Oscar-shaped space on their mantelpiece (including a few of this year’s big contenders)…
Amy Adams

Considered by many to be “the new Leonardo DiCaprio” when it comes to the Oscars, Amy Adams has been nominated for six Academy Awards, most recently in 2019, only to leave empty-handed every year.
The good news for Amy is that Leo got his win on his sixth nomination, so if she really is following in his footsteps, she shouldn’t have to wait too much longer.

Glenn Close holds the dubious distinction of being the living actor who has the most Oscar nominations without a win.
As of 2024, the esteemed performer has been nominated for an Academy Award a whopping eight times, but has never come out on top.
Her most recent nomination came in 2021, with a nod in the Best Supporting Actress category for her performance in the divisive Netflix offering Hillbilly Elegy – a role that also landed the Fatal Attraction star a Razzie nomination for Worst Supporting Actress.
Samuel L Jackson

Despite over 50 years (!!!) in the entertainment industry, Samuel L Jackson has landed just one Oscar nomination in his career.
Back in 1994, he was on the Best Supporting Actor shortlist for playing Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction. He lost out to Martin Landau on the night, and hasn’t been nominated again since.
However, it’s worth pointing out that he did win an Honorary Academy Award in 2021, after being recognised as a “cultural icon whose dynamic work has resonated across genres and generations and audiences worldwide”.
Bradley Cooper

Between acting, directing, producing and screenwriting, Bradley Cooper has scored a whopping 12 nominations – including two at the upcoming ceremony for his work on Maestro.

When it comes to acting, he’s been recognised for his performances in American Hustle, American Sniper, A Star Is Born and, most recently, Maestro, for which he’s also up for Best Original Screenplay.
Scarlett Johansson

Lost In Translation star Scarlett Johansson is similarly yet to be awarded by the Motion Picture Academy, although she does have two Oscar nominations to her name – both of which came in the same year.
In 2020, Scarlett was nominated in both the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories for her roles in Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit, but was pipped to the win by Renée Zellweger and Laura Dern, respectively.
Angela Bassett

As if the fact Angela Bassett has never won an Oscar isn’t galling enough – she’d actually only been nominated once before 2023.
Angela’s sole nomination came in 1993, following her portrayal of Tina Turner in the biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It?.
Thirty years later, she made history when she became the first star to receive an Oscar nomination for a performance in a Marvel film. Sadly, though, this resulted in a second loss.
Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal is another A-list actor we’re surprised to hear has been given only a small amount of love by the Oscars.

In fact, it’s been over 15 years since Jake last bagged an Academy Award nomination, earning his first and only nod for his supporting role in Brokeback Mountain.
David Oyelowo

The Oscars’ lack of recognition for David Oyelowo’s performance as Martin Luther King Jr Selma is one of the biggest snubs in recent history, sparking a major backlash at the time.
Despite a number of critically-acclaimed performances to his name, the British star is yet to be nominated for an Academy Award. Seriously, Oscars. Sort. It. Out.
Toni Collette

Off the top of our head, we can probably come up with six or seven Toni Collette performances that would have been deserving an Oscar win – and yet, the Australian star has just one nomination under her belt (for The Sixth Sense, if you’re wondering).
As one of the most versatile actors in the game, we’re confident that Toni’s time is coming… and when it does, it will be long overdue.
Sir Ian McKellen

He might have Oliviers coming out of his ears (seven in total), but Sir Ian McKellen is yet to be awarded the biggest honour in the film industry.
Sir Ian does have two Oscar nominations, but neither of them translated to a win. He hasn’t fared any better on his home soil, either, with neither of his four previous Bafta nominations resulting in him taking home an award.

Beyoncé

Roles in acclaimed films like Dreamgirls and Cadillac Records led many fans to think that Beyoncé was setting her sights on Oscars glory.
Although neither ended in so much as a nomination, when she signed up to voice Nala in The Lion King (contributing a new song to the beloved soundtrack), it was thought she might get her win in the form of a Best Original Song victory. Sadly, this didn’t end up landing her a nomination, either.
In 2022, she finally landed her first ever nomination for her contribution to the King Richard soundtrack, although the award went to Billie Eilish for her James Bond theme No Time To Die.

Dolly Parton

Like many musicians before her, Dolly Parton has made the transition into acting with roles in films like The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Steel Magnolias and, of course, 9 To 5.
While the Academy never recognised Dolly’s acting (the Golden Globes did, though!), she does have two Best Original Song nominations to her name.
In recent years, Dolly has continued contributing new music to films like Dumplin’ and the Netflix festive film Christmas On The Square, though, so a win could well be on the horizon if she keeps it up.
Sir Kenneth Branagh

One of Britain’s most highly-regarded exports, Sir Kenneth Branagh has received five Academy Award nominations for his acting, writing and directing.
Sadly, the gold statuette has alluded the multi-talented star each time.
Michelle Williams
Ian West – PA Images via Getty Images
Since 2006, Michelle Williams has earned Oscar nominations for her performances in Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine, My Week With Marilyn, Manchester By The Sea and, more recently, The Fabelmans.
In 2019, she did win an Emmy on her first nomination for Fosse/Verdon, so we reckon it won’t be long until the Academy catches up.
Michelle Pfeiffer

In a career spanning more than three decades, Michelle Pfeiffer has been nominated for an Oscar on three different occasions, but so far, the Academy Award has always eluded her.
Sadly, none of these nominations were for Grease 2, which we can only describe as a huge oversight.
Tom Cruise
Ian West – PA Images via Getty Images
Tom Cruise has been nominated for three Oscars over the course of his career (although it has been more than two decades since his last nod), but he’s never come out on top in his category.
In 2023, there was speculation he could pick up a fourth acting nomination for his role in the Top Gear sequel Maverick. While this didn’t materalise in the end, the film itself was recognised in the Best Picture category, meaning Tom is technically now a four-time nominee thanks to his producing role on the film.
Christopher Nolan

While many of his films have received Oscars over the years, 2018 marked Christopher Nolan’s first ever Best Director nomination, thanks to Dunkirk.
He lost out to Guillermo Del Toro for The Shape Of Water, marking the Mexican filmmaker’s first time receiving an Academy Award.
It’s looking like 2024 could well be his year, though, after Oppenheimer triumphed throughout awards season.
Sigourney Weaver
Kevin Mazur via Getty Images
Sigourney Weaver has racked up three nominations over the years but sadly, the win has eluded her each time.
Advertisement
At the 1989 ceremony, she was up for both the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress prizes, but lost out to Jodie Foster and Geena Davis, respectively.
Michael Keaton
Steve Granitz via Getty Images
“Is this the year Michael Keaton finally wins his Oscar?” Vanity Fair asked, hopefully, in 2016.
Sadly, it was not and, in fact, he didn’t even score a nomination for the movie sparking the question, The Founder.
His 2014 nomination, earned for his star turn in Birdman, remains Michael’s only Oscar-nominated role.
Annette Bening
Steve Granitz via Getty Images

Annette Bening’s performances in The Kids Are Alright, Being Julia, American Beauty and The Grifters have all made the Academy’s shortlist – but she was pipped to the post each time.
In 2024, she was a somewhat surprising inclusion on the Best Actress shortlist, where she’s facing stiff competition from Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone, Sandra Hüller and Carey Mulligan.
Still, she’s continuing to win praise for recent films like 20th Century Women, Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool and The Report, so even if she doesn’t manage it this year, a future Oscar win is definitely not out of the question for Annette.
Helena Bonham Carter

The British star is known for her quirky and offbeat roles, but despite Helena Bonham Carter’s bold choices when it comes to acting, the Academy is yet to reward her efforts with a win.
Advertisement
She does have two nominations, though, for The Wings Of The Dove and The King’s Speech.
Hugh Jackman
Steve Granitz via Getty Images
In recent years, Hugh Jackman has been at the centre of Oscar buzz for films like The Front Runner, Bad Education and even The Greatest Showman, although none of them led to an actual nomination.
The Australian star did receive a nod back once, though, following his leading performance in Les Misérables in 2013.
Taraji P Henson

Are we ever going to get over the total snub that happened in 2017, when Taraji P Henson was missing from the Best Actress category?

Probably not, no.
The Hidden Figures star does one have Oscar nomination under her belt, thanks to her role in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
Diane Warren
Amy Sussman via Getty Images
For those not familiar with Diane Warren, she’s the songwriter behind hit movie soundtrack tunes like Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, There You’ll Be and I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.
Remarkably, she’s now been nominated for an Oscar 15 times without a win – and true to form, she’s in the running in 2024, so this could well be her year.
John does have two Oscar nominations of his own, one for Saturday Night Fever and a second for Pulp Fiction, although neither ended up in a win for him.
But while he may not have any trophies to show for it, we’d still argue no one has won at the Oscars more times than Mr Travolta…
If you were down the pub instead of being at home watching the BRIT Awards on Saturday night, you missed out.
There were plenty of memorable moments as the stars descended on London’s O2 Arena for the biggest night in the British music calendar.

The band took home the award for Best Alternative/Rock Act beating The Rolling Stones, Blur, Young Fathers and Yussef Dayes to win the prize, which marked their first ever BRIT Award win.
However, when it came to accepting their award, the band must’ve missed the memo for the ‘no swearing’ rule.
As a result, the viewers at home didn’t get to hear a whole lot of the band’s acceptance speech.
The first thing lead singer Oli Syke’s said while picking up the award was ‘Fucking hell’, so unsurprisingly a LOT of the chat that followed was censored.
However, we can now all watch the full uncensored version on The BRIT Awards’ YouTube channel.
Watch it for yourself below – those easily offended need not proceed.
An uncomfortable clip of Andrew Scott being interviewed about Barry Keoghan’s Saltburn nude scene on the Baftas red carpet has been met with criticism on social media.
On Sunday night, the Fleabag star was a guest at this year’s Baftas, where his latest movie All Of Us Strangers was nominated for six awards, including Outstanding British Film and an acting nod for co-star Paul Mescal.
Advertisement
As he made his way into the event, Andrew spoke briefly to the BBC, where things took an awkward turn after he was asked about his friendship with Saltburn star and fellow Irish performer Barry Keoghan.

“I know Barry, yeah!” Andrew said when asked about the Saltburn star, prompting the BBC’s reporter to immediately ask for his “reaction when you first saw the naked dance scene at the end of Saltburn”.
After attempting to brush off the question, the BBC’s red carpet reporter then continued: “There is a lot of talk about prosthetics. How well do you know him?”
Advertisement
At that point, Andrew tried to laugh off the question before walking on to speak to another journalist on the red carpet.
However, when a clip of the exchange began doing the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), racking up almost 100,000 views in just a few hours, many users took issue with the BBC’s dubious line of questioning:
What the actual F? What ridiculous questioning. Andrew has his own film nominated, ask him about that!! Disgusting
— Margaret and ( very occasionally) Gary Whipp (@WhippGary) February 18, 2024
This is frankly disgusting. Andrew Scott is there to support his multiple nominated film and THIS is what you ask? Then when he looks visibly uncomfortable the guy carried on. Truly horrid. #BAFTAspic.twitter.com/42VEoBXRQi
During the ceremony, Andrew and his fellow All Of Us Strangers actor Paul Mescal presented the award for Best Animated Feature to the latest offering from Studio Ghibli, The Boy And The Heron.

This year’s star-studded Grammys guestlist allowed for plenty of iconic interactions, but when it comes to A-list meetings, they don’t come any bigger than Meryl Streep and Beyoncé.
Meryl was one of the guest presenters at the biggest night in music on Sunday, where she presented Record Of The Year with her son-in-law Mark Ronson, while Beyoncé was in attendance to support her husband Jay-Z on the night of his Global Impact Award win.
During the ceremony, the two-time Oscar winner paid a quick visit to Bey’s table, where it’s fair to say the Mamma Mia! actor looked like she was engaged in some very enthusiastic chat.
After being shared on the Grammys’ social pages, the photo of Meryl and Beyoncé’s meeting quickly began doing the rounds online, where fans began imagining exactly how things went down between the pair in their conversation:
