The 2025 Oscars are here and just ahead of Hollywood's biggest night, we're taking a look at all the best actress nominees. This year's best actress nominees include Cynthia Erivo, Karla Sofía Gascón, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres.

When the In Memoriam tribute unspools during the Oscars on March 2, the name of Gena Rowlands no doubt will be there. A two-time nominee, she died at age 94 in August. She remains unforgettable for her cinema performances, many directed by her husband John Cassavetes, the pioneering indie filmmaker for whom she served as a longtime muse.

Mikey Madison, the star of "Anora," became a first-time Oscar winner. Demi Moore had been favored for her work in "The Substance" in a crowded Best Actress field.
