Love it or hate it, the Oscar season is upon us, and as we wait for the most awaited entertainment event, let us take a look at this year’s nominees. From the likes ofBarbieVs.Oppenheimerto Christopher Nolan Vs. Martin Scorsese, the nominees are stacked with mammoth stars with high-pedigree performances to their credit.
The result of these nominations will be announced on 23 June 2025 in an exclusive event hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Apart from the announcement of the result, the event is packed with musical performances of this year’s nominated songs, including the fan favorite “I’m Just Ken” by Ryan Gosling fromBarbie. Let’s take a closer look at all the nominees and evaluate the probable winners.
Star-Studded Tussle At The Oscars
Starting with the Best Picture nominee, we haveAmerican Fiction,Barbie,Killers of the Flower Moon, andOppenheimer, along with others. In our opinion,Oppenheimermight be the most popular choice for many reasons, as the plot and impeccable screenplay alone creditOppenheimeras the best picture. Moreover, the direction, innovative, practical effects, andLudwig Goransson’sscore present a strong case forOppenheimer.

The closet hurdleOppenheimerfaces isKillers of the Flower MoonbyMartin Scorsese. The latest Scorsese outing focuses on the legacy and murders of Osage members who were once the richest residents in Oklahoma. Starring heavyweight stars likeRobert De Niro,Leonardo DiCaprio, andLily Gladstone, the movie is a classic Scorsese filled with dynamic dialogues and striking visuals.
Now, coming to the Best Director, the fight resumes between Martin Scorsese andChristopher NolanforKillers of the Flower MoonandOppenheimer,though the other nominee, Yorgos Lanthimos, presents a strong case withPoor Things. However, in my opinion, we might finally see Nolan bagging the prized award.

Moving on to the Best Actor, we have the likes ofCillian Murphy,Bradley Cooper,Jeffrey Wright, Colman Domingo, and Paul Giamatti competing for the award. While Paul Giamatti presents a strong case with his tender performance inThe Holdovers, it is safe to assume that Cillian Murphy’s eccentric and encapsulating performance as J. Robert. Oppenheimer has guaranteed him walking away with this award.
Mark Ruffalo’s Brilliant ‘Poor Things’ Scene Was a Genius Improv, Proving He’s Just as Deserving of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar as Robert Downey Jr.
As of now, the Best Actress award seems to be tied toEmma Stoneand Lily Gladstone. Emma Stone’s outing in Yorgos Lanthimos’ unique black comedyPoor Thingshas made her a strong contender to repeat herLa La Landsuccess. On the other hand, Lily Gladstone has given a breakout performance withKillers of the Flowers Moonand is looking to bag her first Academy Award.
Best Supporting Actor is where things get a little more interesting as Robert De Niro,Mark Ruffalo,Ryan Gosling, Sterling K. Brown, andRobert Downey Jr.face off in probably the most interesting roster of supporting actors. Considering the Academy’s long obsession with prioritizing real-life portrayal, Robert Downey as Admiral Strauss inOppenheimeris the likely contender to emerge in this roster of stars.
Best Supporting Actress seems a steamroll as Da’Vine Joy Randolph is looking as the likely winner of the award for her portrayal inThe Holdovers. Moreover, her repsheet of winning every other award, including the BAFTA, the Golden Globes, and theSAG Awards,further cements her victory.
Now coming on to the Best Animated Feature, ever since its release,Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versehas unofficially been dubbed as the Best Animated Feature. The diverse art style and fluid animation of the movie have elevated the levels of animated features and have officially given recognition to comic-book-style animation worldwide.
