2025 Oscar Nominations: A Complete (and Totally Unofficial) List – My Wild Predictions!
Hey everyone! So, the 2025 Oscars are still a ways off, but I'm already obsessed with trying to guess who'll be nominated. It's like a fun, slightly nerdy game I play with myself. And let's be honest, predicting the Oscars is basically a national pastime, right? This year, I'm feeling particularly bold, so buckle up for my totally unofficial, probably-way-off predictions for the 2025 Academy Awards.
I mean, who really knows what the Academy will do? I've been following the Oscars for years – heck, I even remember that one year when everyone was shocked... you know the one! I’m sure I’ll be wrong about a bunch of this stuff, but that's part of the fun.
Best Picture: My Bold (and Maybe Risky) Choices
This is always the toughest category, right? So many amazing films coming out. I’m gonna go out on a limb here, because these are my personal favorites:
-
"The Martian Chronicles Part 2: Revenge of the Potatoes": Okay, maybe I made that title up, but I'm predicting a big sci-fi epic will be a contender. Think stunning visuals, a complex plot, and enough emotional depth to make even the grumpiest critic cry.
-
"The Unlikely Friendship of a Baker and a Robot": This one's a bit of a wildcard, I'll admit. But I'm betting on a heartwarming story with phenomenal acting, something that really pulls at the heartstrings. It's the kind of movie that the Academy loves.
-
"The Silent Scream of the Metropolis": A neo-noir thriller that's going to blow minds. It's the type of intense drama that’ll have everyone talking about it on award nights.
-
"Echoes of the Past: A Historical Drama": There's always at least one historical drama in the running. This one, I imagine, will have stunning costumes, incredible set design... the whole shebang.
-
"Anya Taylor-Joy's Epic Comeback Tour: The Movie": Okay, maybe this isn't a real movie title. But you know Anya is gonna be in something HUGE. She always delivers. Always.
Best Director: The Brains Behind the Madness
Predicting the best director is almost as hard as predicting Best Picture. This year, I'm betting on a mix of veterans and newcomers:
-
Ava DuVernay: She's a force of nature, and I'm predicting a powerful and moving film from her.
-
Quentin Tarantino's Final Masterpiece (or so he says!): Look, I'm a sucker for a good Tarantino film. Let's just say that if there's a Tarantino film in 2025, it's automatically on my list.
Beyond Best Picture: Some More Predictions (Because Why Not?)
It's not just Best Picture that matters! There are so many other categories to get excited about. I'm already picturing the acceptance speeches…
Best Actor:
This one's a tough one. I’m thinking someone unexpected will snag this award. My guess? A newcomer to the scene who just delivers an absolutely breathtaking performance. It’s always exciting when a new star emerges!
Best Actress:
Someone like Saoirse Ronan is always a strong contender. Her work is consistently phenomenal. But you know what? I'm predicting a surprise win for a lesser-known actress – a rising star, you could say. It'll be a powerful moment for sure.
Best Supporting Actor/Actress:
I'm envisioning a battle between seasoned veterans and new faces. This is where we see some true talent shine. My gut feeling is that a surprising supporting performance will steal the show.
My Biggest Mistake (And What I Learned)
Remember that time I predicted that movie about the talking squirrels would win Best Animated Feature? Yeah... that didn't happen. My takeaway? Don't underestimate the Academy's unpredictable nature! They can surprise you at every turn. But that's part of the fun of it all.
Anyways, those are my totally unofficial, possibly ludicrous predictions for the 2025 Oscars! Let me know what you think in the comments – I would love to hear your predictions too! Let the guessing games begin!
