With the final round of Oscar voting closing soon, predictions are heating up, and The Hollywood Reporter's latest Feinberg Forecast suggests a big night for Anora at the Academy Awards 2025. The film is currently expected to take home five awards, making it the most decorated film of the night. Other strong contenders include The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez with three wins each, while Dune: Part Two and Wicked are each projected to win two awards.
The awards season has been filled with surprises, with Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain), and Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez) emerging as favorites in their acting categories. Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown) remains a wild card in the Best Actor race, potentially shaking up the final results. Technical categories remain fiercely competitive, with Dune: Part Two still a strong contender for Best Visual Effects, despite Disney’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes taking the VES Award. Nosferatu, Wicked, and Conclave also secured key production design awards, reinforcing their Oscar prospects.
As the SAG Awards, Spirit Awards, and USC Scripter Awards approach, the race remains unpredictable, with Conclave’s recent BAFTA Best Film win hinting at a possible upset in the Best Picture category. With the Academy Awards just around the corner, all eyes are on the final stretch, waiting to see if these projections hold or if any last-minute surprises will shake up Hollywood’s biggest night.
