The Oscar nominations for 2025 are finally here! The announcement took place at the Academy’s prestigious Samuel Goldwyn Theater and was hosted by Bowen Yang, Rachel Sennott, Sian Heder, and Eric Roth. The event which took place on 23rd January 2025, was live streamed in India on Disney+ Hotstar at 7:00 PM IST. If you missed the livestream, you can watch the recording of the announcement on Disney+ Hotstar or scroll down below for the full list of this year’s nominees.

The Oscar nominations were initially set to release on 17th January 2025, however, the announcement faced delays due to the voting disruptions caused by the devastating LA wildfires. To accommodate those impacted, the Academy extended the voting period by five days, and cancelled their traditional luncheon.

Despite these events, this year’s Oscar race is as fiercely competitive and unpredictable as the previous years. Leading this year’s charter we have Emilia Perez, a musical about a drug kingpin who undergoes gender affirming surgery with 13 nominations including Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Director, and a double nomination for Best International Feature Film as France’s official entry and Best Picture.

The film is closely followed by The Brutalist, a historic epic detailing the struggles faced by immigrants, and Wicked, the blockbuster screen adaptation of the beloved Broadway spectacle, both sharing the second spot with ten nominations each. A Complete Unknown, a biographical musical drama about the freewheeling years of Bob Dylan’s early musical career, and Conclave, a political thriller about the election of a new pope both nabbed the third position with eight nominations each.

Where to watch all the 2025 Oscar nominated movies online in India? 

The 97th Academy Awards will take place between 5:30 AM- 8:30 AM IST on 3rd March 2025, giving viewers plenty of time to binge all the nominated movies before the winners are announced. Use JustWatch’s streaming guide below to find out how and where to watch all the movies nominated for the 97th Academy Awards online in India.

2025 is set to mark a new chapter in DC Comics’ cinematic universe, with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking the reins to relaunch DC on the big screen, starting with Superman. The movie will be the first film to kickstart James Gunn’s larger vision of a cohesive, shared DC Universe, now officially known as the DCU.

But as we look forward to this exciting new era, it’s worth reflecting on the legacy of the DCEU, a franchise that spanned for over a decade, and introduced fans to a darker, grittier heroic universe. With standout releases like Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam!, the DCEU brought unforgettable heroes and epic clashes to the forefront of pop culture.

The DCEU broke new ground in celebrating powerful female characters, giving fans the first-ever live-action Harley Quinn, portrayed by Margot Robbie. Her electrifying performance in Suicide Squad made Harley Quinn an instant fan favorite, leading to her own standalone film, Birds of Prey, where she took center stage as a chaotic yet empowering anti-hero.

Equally trailblazing was Wonder Woman, a cultural and financial triumph for the franchise. Directed by Patty Jenkins, it became the most successful female-directed superhero movie in its opening weekend, shattering box office records and inspiring audiences worldwide with its portrayal of strength, compassion, and heroism.

If you’re interested in watching all the DCEU movies while you wait for the new DCU movies to release, check out this streaming guide below.

DCEU Movies In Chronological Order

If you’re looking to watch the DCEU movies in chronological order you’ll want to start with Wonder Woman, which takes place in 1918 at the same time as World War I. From there, you continue with Wonder Woman 1984, which amps up the action and expands on Wonder Woman’s storyline in the vibrant 1980s.

After the Wonder Woman movies, you move on to Man of Steel which introduces you to Henry Cavill’s iconic portrayal as Superman, followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, where you see Superman and Batman form a camaraderie. This is followed by Suicide Squad which introduces fans to the beloved antiheroes, and includes Margot Robbie’s breakout performance as Harley Quinn. Continuing with the trend of epic team-ups you have Justice League next.

From there, the chronological order of movies lines up with the order the films were released in excluding Zack Snyder’s Justice League which serves as a non-canon extended alternative to Justice League.

DCEU Movies In Release Order and Where to Watch Them Streaming Online

Many fans prefer to watch the DCEU movies in release order due to the connectivity issues within the shared DC universe. While older films like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League are closely linked, newer releases like Shazam!, Birds of Prey, and Aquaman function more as standalone stories. With fewer interconnected plotlines spanning multiple movies, watching them in the order of release offers a more straightforward and hassle-free experience.

My Hero Academia has climbed up the ranks to become one of the most beloved anime series out there. Izuku Midoriya and his hero friends have won over fans with their intense battle scenes, unbeatable camaraderie, heartfelt character moments and perfectly timed humor. The blend of high-octane fights with an emotionally gripping narrative has made My Hero Academia a hit for the past nine years.

But as all great journeys must conclude, My Hero Academia approaches its final season in April 2025, cementing its place as one of the most iconic anime series of the decade. Here are 25 other shows similar to My Hero Academia to help you pass the time as you count down the days until the final season premieres.

Top 5 Anime Similar To My Hero Academia 

Little Witch Academia

Other than also having Academia in its title, this series shares a lot in common with My Hero Academia. In fact, in another world Akko and Deku would probably be best friends. The series follows Akko, a young girl eager to become a witch, who joins the Little Witch Academy despite not having any magical powers. Much like Deku, she manages to procure some magical powers by stroke of luck, and continues training at the Academy in hopes of becoming as powerful as her idol, Shiny Chariot, one day.

Assassination Classroom

If you’re looking for something a little less cute and more deadly check out Assassination Classroom. A punchy and twisted anime about an octopus-like teacher who goes rogue and destroys 70% of the moon, putting Earth in jeopardy. The series follows a group of misfit students who are tasked with killing him by the end of year to save Earth from ending, and offered a greedy ¥10 billion bounty for succeeding.

Haikyu!!

While Haikyu!! doesn’t have any heroes, or end of the world battle sequences, it does still share a lot in common with My Hero Academia. Both shows center around an underdog teenage boy as the main protagonist who, despite all odds, manages to rise through the ranks to achieve greatness in his chosen field. Haikyu!! is also widely regarded as one of the most beloved sports anime of all time.

Black Clover

Asta, a young magic-less orphan boy with a dream of becoming the Wizard King, gets a chance to turn his dream into reality with the help of a mysterious grimoire. Although Black Clover doesn’t have any high-school elements, the series shares the same trope of being the only person born without any magical powers, and procuring them somehow later in life.

Fairy Tail

If you’re looking for something as colourful and fun as My Hero Academia, you should check out Fairy Tail. The anime series stars a full crew of magical characters led by Natsu, a fiery young mage who along with his friends takes on dangerous missions, battles dark forces, and forms unbreakable bonds of friendship.
