Oscar predictions 2025

Having managed to see around half of the movies in contention, and at least read something about most of the others, here is my semi-confident forecast of how the main awards will be distributed tomorrow evening:

• Best Actor
  • Timothée Chalamet
• Best Actress
  • Mikey Madison
• Best Supporting Actor
  • Kieran Culkin
• Best Supporting Actress
  • Felicity Jones
• Best Director
  • Brady Corbet
• Best International Feature
  • I’m Still Here
• Best Picture
  • The Brutalist

That’s what I think will happen, and pretty much what I think should happen too; the main exception being that I would pick Nickel Boys over The Brutalist for Best Picture (and Hundreds of Beavers over both of them had it not, inexplicably, failed to gain a nomination).
