The 2025 Oscars honored this year’s wide range of movies, including 18 nominations for Netflix across six titles — and three thrilling wins. Thirteen of those nods belonged to the daring musical crime drama Emilia Pérez, making it the most nominated film of the year and the most nominated non–English language film in Academy history. 

And on the biggest night in Hollywood, the movie walked away with two exciting trophies, one for Best Original Song for the electric “El Mal” and the other for Best Supporting Actress, awarded to Zoe Saldaña, who made an emotional tribute to her family as she collected her Oscar. “The fact that I'm getting an award for a role where I got to sing and speak in Spanish. My grandmother, if she were here, she would be so delighted,” she said on stage. “I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award, and I know I will not be the last.”

Another big winner was The Only Girl in the Orchestra, which took home the award for Best Documentary Short. The film explored the life of the 87-year-old Orin O’Brien, who joined the all-male New York Philharmonic in 1966 and remained a member for 55 years. “As Orin O’Brien likes to say, music helps us organize our emotions and there are a lot of emotions that need organizing these days. Film does the same thing. Art makes order and gives meaning out of the chaos we're living through,” director Molly O’Brien said in her acceptance speech.  

Other Netflix films recognized with nominations by the 97th Academy Awards are Pablo Larraín’s Maria, Tyler Perry’s The Six Triple Eight, animated feature Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, and live-action short film Anuja.

EMILIA PÉREZ

Winner for: Actress in a Supporting Role (Zoe Saldaña) and Original Song (“El Mal”)

The Spanish-language film was met with early acclaim out of Cannes when it premiered in May, and the cast took home the festival’s Prix d’interprétation féminine. The Mexico City–set musical-thriller centering on a cartel leader’s gender transition was Oscar-nominated in 13 categories, including Best Picture, Directing, Adapted Screenplay, and International Feature Film. 

The Only Girl in the Orchestra

Winner for: Best Documentary Short Film

Emmy-winning director Molly O’Brien delivers with care the story of her aunt, Orin O’Brien, through the documentary short The Only Girl in the Orchestra. Orin was the only female musician in the New York Philharmonic when she joined in 1966, and her story serves as an inspiration for anyone with a life passion.
