2025 Oscar Predictions

Style’s Spur 2025 Oscar Predictions & Who Actually Won: 

1. Best Picture  

Style Spur 2025 Oscar Predictions: Anora 

List of Nominees:  

  • The Brutalist 
  • A Complete Unknown  
  • Conclave  
  • Dune: Part Two  
  • Emilia Pérez  
  • I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys 
  • The Substance Wicked 

Winner: Anora 

Our Best Picture Oscar predictions are on-point! As an independent film made by Director Sean Baker, Anora is definitely an underdog that won big. The movie is a modern narration of Cinderella story, in which a young woman from Brookyln falls in love with Russian oligarch’s son. They get married and when the news reaches Russia, her delicate fairylike is threatened when the parents ask for an annulment. Anora won 5 Oscars, making it the big winner at the event.

2. Best Actor 

Style Spur 2025 Oscar Predictions: Timothée Chalamet, A Complete Unknown 

List of Nominees:  

  • Adrien Brody, The Brutalist 
  • Ralph Fiennes, Conclave 
  • Sebastian Stan, The Apprentice 
  • Colman Domingo, Sing Sing 

Winner: Adrien Brody, The Brutalist 

We kind of missed the mark on this one, but none the less, Adrien Brody wins Best Actor for The Brutalist. This epic drama film follows a visionary architect who escapes postwar Europe and makes his way to America to start anew. Therefore, he settles in Pennsylvania to rebuild his career, his marriage, and his life. His work catches the eye of a prominent and wealthy industrialist who recognizes his talents. Adrien Brody’s role in The Brutalist is remarkable and shows his resilience to be the front-runner at the Oscars. Many eager fans were sure that Timothee Chalamet would take home the Oscar for Best Actor. Therefore, the hashtag “Timothee Chalamet Oscars” went viral. Maybe next time!

3. Best Actress  

Style Spur 2025 Oscar Predictions: Mikey Madison, Anora 

List of Nominees:  

  • Demi Moore, The Substance 
  • Cynthia Erivo, Wicked 
  • Karla Sofía Gascón, Emilia Pérez 
  • Fernanda Torres, I’m Still Here 

Winner: Mikey Madison, Anora 

Despite going against Demi Moore, a veteran actress and a brilliant talent in her own right, Mikey Madison won the Best Actress award for Anora.  Moore definitely enjoyed an early lead with her Critics Choice and Golden wins, but Madison really shone at the BAFTAs. The BAFTAs are a key indicator of where the Academy’s international support lies and we can easily predict the pattern. Not only was Anora Mikey’s first lead role in any major film, but it also made her the youngest recipient of the Best Actress award!  

2025 Oscar Predictions

4. Best Supporting Actor  

Style Spur 2025 Oscar Predictions: Kieran Culkin, A Real Pain 

List of Nominees:  

  • Yura Borisov, Anora 
  • Guy Pearce, The Brutalist 
  • Edward Norton, A Complete Unknown 
  • Jeremy Strong, The Apprentice 

Winner: Kieran Culkin, A Real Pain 

At Style Spur, we were sure that Kieran Culkin would definitely win this Oscar because he had won every big award before the Oscar 2025 event. He won this award for his supporting role in A Real Pain. This movie is about two mismatched cousins, Benji (Kieran Culkin) and David (Jesse Eisenberg), who reunite and travel to Poland to honour their grandmother. It is a comedy movie with just the right amount of drama to keep you hooked! If you are wondering why the name Kieran Culkin sounds similar, then you will be surprised to know that he’s Macaulay Culkin’s brother, who played the role of Kevin McCallister in Home Alone. Guess like talent really does run in this family!  

2025 Oscar Predictions

5. Best Supporting Actress 

Style Spur 2025 Oscar Predictions:  Zoe Saldaña, Emilia Pérez 

List of Nominees:

  • Monica Barbaro, A Complete Unknown 
  • Felicity Jones, The Brutalist 
  • Ariana Grande, Wicked 
  • Isabella Rossellini, Conclave 

Winner: Zoe Saldaña, Emilia Pérez 

Our 2025 Oscar predictions are spot-on once again! Zoe Saldana won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in Emilia Perez, a Spanish-language musical. Although the award season started off just fine for the cast and crew of Emilia Pérez, sadly, it took a turn for the worst. As the lead star Karla Sofía Gascón’s offensive social media posts came to light, we were worried that Saldana’s Oscar win might just become collateral. However, she came through with her timely, thoughtful response and continued to nab awards. This shows her tenacity and her fire to win—which we absolutely adore at Style Spur!
