Oscars 2025: Here Are The Picks
Best Picture
Anora(Alex Coco , Samantha Quan , and Sean Baker , Producers)The Brutalist(Nick Gordon , Brian Young , Andrew Morrison , D.J. Gugenhei , m and Brady Corbet , Producers)A Complete Unknown(Fred Berger , James Mangold , and Alex Heineman , Producers)Conclave(Tessa Ross , Juliette Howell , and Michael A. Jackman , Producers)Dune : Part Two(Mary Parent , Cale Boyter , Tanya Lapointe , and Denis Villeneuve , Producers)Emilia Pérez(Pascal Caucheteux and Jacques Audiard , Producers)I’m Still Here(Maria Carlota Bruno and Rodrigo Teixeira , Producers)Nickel Boys(Dede Isabella Stewart Gardner , Jeremy Kleiner , and Joslyn Barnes , Producers)The Substance(Coralie Fargeat , Tim Bevan , and Eric Fellner , Producers)Wicked(Marc Platt , Producer )
What should gain ground : This feels like a two - horse race betweenAnoraandConclaveright now , withThe Brutaliston the outside search in . WhileAnorais my pet pic of 2024 , I thinkThe Brutalistis the best cinema of 2024 . It is just a staggering accomplishment from top to bottom , but I do not guess enough voters actually watched the whole film . That is a shame because it should pull ahead .
What will win : Anora . It swept all but the BAFTA and the SAG awards , and whileConclavecould knock over , I will go with what was the loss leader in the clubhouse since Cannes last spring .
direct
Jacques Audiard , Emilia PérezSean Baker , AnoraBrady Corbet , The BrutalistCoralie Fargeat , The SubstanceJames Mangold , A Complete Unknown
Who should win : Coraline Fargeat should be recognise for her spellbind melding of multiple music genre with The Substance .
Who will win : Sean Baker , who has great respect in the DGA and has won all of the crucial wards leading up to tonight .
thespian in a in the lead Role
Adrien Brody , The BrutalistTimothée Chalamet , A Complete UnknownColman Domingo , Sing SingRalph Fiennes , ConclaveSebastian Stan , The Apprentice
Who should come through : Chalamet . This could be one of those moments where the Oscars anoint someone , though they could also make him wait as they did with Leonardo DiCaprio . All five could realistically come through , and anyone would be okay with it , as all five performances were strong this year .
Who will win : Chalamet . I think more of the voting consistence was entrance by A Complete unnamed than people realize . Brody was superb , but I think he just missed his second statue .
Actress in a Leading Role
Cynthia Erivo , WickedKarla Sofía Gascón , Emilia PérezMikey Madison , AnoraDemi Moore , The SubstanceFernanda Torres , I’m Still Here
Who should win : Demi Moore , in the role of her career , has done great work for 10 . But Mikey Madison made Anora special , without her I am not indisputable that film has anywhere near the accolades it has received . Madison should take it .
Who will win : Moore . And I do not have a problem with it whatsoever .
Actor in a encouraging Role
Yura Borisov , AnoraKieran Culkin , A Real PainEdward Norton , A Complete UnknownGuy Pearce , The BrutalistJeremy Strong , The Apprentice
Who should win : I loved Norton and Pearce in their character , but Kieran Culkin lock in his Oscars second month ago .
Who will get ahead : Culkin
Actress in a Supporting Role
Monica Barbaro , A Complete UnknownAriana Grande , WickedFelicity Jones , The BrutalistIsabella Rossellini , ConclaveZoe Saldaña , Emilia Pérez
Who should bring home the bacon : Barbaro was fantastic as Joan Baez , and it was a mavin - make persona . But Felicity Jones gave one of the most searing and affect performances of the year in The Brutalist .
Who will deliver the goods : Saldaña . She was the only good part of Emilia Perez , as far as I am concerned , and she has pretty much swept everything .
