The 2025 Academy Awards are almost here, and we’re making our final Oscar predictions! Join us as we break down every single category and give our thoughts on what SHOULD and what WILL win.

Best Picture: Leading the pack is Emilia Pérez with 13 nominations, followed closely by The Brutalist and Wicked, each securing 10 nods. Will Emilia Pérez's groundbreaking narrative outshine the competition, or could Anora or Conclave pull a surprise victory?

Best Actress: The category is fiercely competitive, featuring Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez), the first transgender actress nominated, alongside Cynthia Erivo (Wicked), Demi Moore (The Substance), Mikey Madison (Anora), and Fernanda Torres (I'm Still Here). Can Gascón make history, or will Moore's comeback performance steal the spotlight?

Best Actor: Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) and Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown) are neck and neck, with Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave), and Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) also delivering compelling performances. Who will take home the coveted statuette?

Best Supporting Actress: Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez) emerges as a frontrunner, but faces strong competition from Ariana Grande (Wicked), Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown), Felicity Jones (The Brutalist), and Isabella Rossellini (Conclave). Will Saldaña's performance resonate with the Academy voters?

Best Supporting Actor: Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) and Edward Norton (A Complete Unknown) lead the predictions, with Yura Borisov (Anora), Guy Pearce (The Brutalist), and Jeremy Strong (The Apprentice) also in contention. Who will emerge victorious in this talented lineup?

Best Director: Sean Baker (Anora), Brady Corbet (The Brutalist), James Mangold (A Complete Unknown), Jacques Audiard (Emilia Pérez), and Coralie Fargeat (The Substance) vie for the prestigious award. Will Baker's unique storytelling or Audiard's visionary direction capture the Academy's favor?
