Inside Out 2 shattered box office records as the reigning animated giant for 2024, while Hollywood witnessed an eventful year filled with drama and controversy. With natural disasters shadowing the awards season and nominees making headlines for both the good and the bad, all eyes are on this year’s Academy Awards.
This year's Oscars will mark a significant musical revival, with Wicked and Emilia Pérez nominated for Best Picture— the first time in over 50 years this category has seen two musicals. Adrien Brody, the youngest Best Actor winner ever, could make history again if he wins with only two nominations under his belt. However, he'll face strong competition from Timothée Chalamet, who could also clinch the title of youngest winner if he beats Brody.
Streaming films continue to dominate the nominations, but past winners show it’s tough for them to convert nominations into wins. Emilia Pérez leads the pack, but many doubt it can achieve a sweeping victory. In a noteworthy moment, two stars from "Succession," Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong, face off in the Best Supporting Actor category—however, both come from films not nominated for Best Picture.
Adding to the quirks, this year’s Best Picture contenders include a body horror film—The Substance— while Isabella Rossellini is nominated for just eight minutes of screen time, the second shortest in Oscar history. Colman Domingo aims for his second consecutive nomination for Best Actor, while all five Best Actress nominees hail from Best Picture films—a unique coincidence since 1977.
Ralph Fiennes has a chance to boost his record by starring in yet another Best Picture winner, while Diane Warren stands a strong chance to finally achieve her long-awaited win with her 16th nomination. With Sean Baker potentially vying for a unique feat of winning four Oscars in a single night, the race to the Oscars is packed with surprises, historic notes, and exciting narratives.
As we gear up for the big day, expect all kinds of twists, turns, and possibly record-breaking moments during the 2025 Oscars!
