If I Chose the Oscar Winners 2025!

[@matthewplampton955]

The Substance not getting into editing, sound, and cinematography baffles me. Those technical elements amplified that film to another level. Directing win would be an inspired choice, as that film just couldn't be made by another director. And everything crossed for Demi. She had me sobbing in that mirror scene. You could just feel and hear her inner dialogue throughout that film.

[@alexnoahllourenc5062]

Have you already seen “ I’m still here? Fernanda Torres delivers an extraordinary performance in I’m Still Here, demonstrating her mastery of nuance, depth, and emotional intensity. With every scene, she captivates the audience, balancing raw vulnerability with a quiet strength that lingers long after the credits roll. Her ability to convey complex emotions with subtle expressions and precise timing is a testament to her artistic maturity and deep understanding of the craft. What makes her portrayal truly remarkable is the authenticity she brings to the role-every gesture, every silence, every glance feels deeply lived-in, as if she is not merely performing but embodying the very essence of the character. This level of commitment transforms the film into an immersive experience, making it impossible to look away. Her Golden Globe recognition is well deserved, not just as an acknowledgment of this singular performance but as a celebration of a career defined by excellence, fearlessness, and an unwavering dedication to storytelling. It’s a MASTERPIECE

[@joelanthonylim6792]

@ Yeah, I’m not saying the best noms need to win. I mean, no Challengers score, no Wild Robot song, 13 Emilia Pérez nods… clearly the Academy was distracted and just went with whoever was the loudest. Team Chaos doesn’t care about quality. Team Chaos just wants all expectations subverted. I want this year’s Oscars to be The Last Jedi of Oscar ceremonies. Pure chaos gremlin, start to finish.

[@filmlibrarian]

@@flowerfaeriI’m glad I’m not the only one who likes the song from Sing Sing. When I saw the film I thought the song would get nominated and I’m happy that happened.

[@gabelogan5877]

I don’t think so. Either the Academy ignores the discourse (the organization is not progressive as advertised but highly conservative and bigoted) and allows Emilia to sweep. Or, they save face and give Zoe and the songwriting team two wins.

[@axr7149]

@gabelogan5877 I am leaning more towards 2 wins at most. Don't forget that the preferential ballot is used for Picture, which means people have to rank their favorites and the film with the broadest overall likeability that also ranks high enough on ballots wins. If the old-fashioned system of "vote for 1 winner" system was used, then EMILIA PEREZ handily wins (BAFTA uses the same system, and I expect EMILIA PEREZ to win there mainly because the scandal erupted a little too late there and also because of the voting system), but the controversy paired with large factions of voters voting down (just as many as high ones) likely rules it out. Besides, every Picture winner since 2003 won at least one of either Director or Screenplay, and EMILIA PEREZ is not favored for either right now. PGA will be the indicator IMO since that is the only other preferential ballot winner vote.

Fernanda Torres will win the best actress! I watched a recent video of yours about the worst winners of acting category of the Oscar, and some of yours justifications for picking them was the win for the career, not for the acting. This is the narrative of Demi Moore this year, she gave a normal performance and is not even in pair with the acting of Torres. This is an Oscar for the best acting of the year, not the best career, but we know how the Oscar is... Sadly.

[@roxy5588]

Wicked I think is definately winning Costume design and production design I think it can win editing and maybe Supporting Actress for Ariana Grande. My Predictions are: Best Picture: The Brutalist Best Director: Brady Corbet (The Brutalist) Best Actor: Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) Best Actress: Mikey Madison (Anora) or Demi Moore (The Substance) Best Supporting Actor: Guy Pierce (The Brutalist) or Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) Best Supporting Actress: Ariana Grande (Wicked) Best Original Screenplay: Anora Best Adapted Screenplay: Conclave Best Cinematography: The Brutalist Best Costume Design: Wicked Best Production Design: Wicked Best Film Editing: Wicked or Anora Best Visual Effects: Dune Part 2 Best Makeup and Hairstyling: The Substance or Wicked Best Sound: Dune Part 2 Best Score: The Brutalist Best Original Song: El Mal (Emilia Perez)

[@TheWokeWarlock]

I actually think that the AI situation will cost the Brutalist all of its potential wins. I actually don’t think the Academy will care actually about the AI that was used… thats not the issue… but I think it will cost Adrian and Brady their respective Oscars and I don’t think it will win Best Picture now because of the subconscious factor. I think a lot of voters will struggle giving Adrien a win because he is supposed to be this high caliber “actors” actor and he has already won, he should be able to pull off an accent. Timothee for instance sang live on set and used zero autotune and zero AI. It’s also a stronger performance frankly. Brady will lose his for using the AI, and best picture for the same reason. The race is Waaaay to close for these kind of scandals. Emelia Perez is totally out because of Karlas tweets resurfacing, apparently the cast isn’t even going to the Luncheon and the official Oscars page unfollowed Karla. Then there is Anora and the issue that there wasn’t an intimacy coordinator and the content of the film has made that very problematic. There is a lot of drama this year. Personally I think this paves the way for Wicked, The Substance, and Conclave to do well. I see Wicked taking best pictures frankly and I think Ariana Grande is going to owe Karla a big hug because she just gave her Zoe’s Oscar.

[@jurney3478]

I’m never okay with category fraud. Ariana Zoe and Kieran are leads, but from those 3 Ariana and Kieran were undeniably lead for me. I agree with Viola Davis as supporting for fences for example, I tolerate a fraud when the character’s arc is very submissive of the co-lead.

Rita, the woman who made a living by defending people she knew were guilty, then teamed up with a cartel leader, was oddly calling other people out for their corruption/past evil deeds?

It seemed very random and out of no where, almost like there was a scene that got deleted that would have contextualized it.

[@calapai7]

@austinpelissier2131 exactly!!! It could've been an interesting theme, maybe with Rita seeing Emilia take credit for her work, like her previous boss had done. But instead Emilia always makes sure to praise her, and all conflict between the two is avoided. Maybe Rita could've felt guilty about helping corrupt people whitewash their image through their donations, but she just calls it out in her head and nothing happens. In fact we have to assume that these people were successful in cleaning up their image. The movie's primary sin is that it is boring and refuses to take the story to interesting places. It instead settles for teasing things that are never expanded upon.

I love you but you’re still pronouncing Pérez wrong. Put the emphasis on the first syllable.

[@colleen4ever]

9:24- I'm pissed that none of the songs from The Wild Robot were nominated. Cross out BOTH Emila Perez songs and put 'Even When I'm Not' there instead.

[@julianopeixotogarcia5452]

Challengers should be nominated for Score and Film editing ❤ Watched last weekend and loved it

[@mikegonzalez503]

I love your vote for best director

[@bellareid3488]

Funny how he is suddenly almost completely ignoring Emila Perez. He read the comment section under the review he did with that other guy, obviously

[@jonhinson5701]

He was never over the moon for Emilia Perez. Even trans people don't like that movie

[@marlowemichaelson1366]

He never hyped up Emilia Perez. But Brian has been SOOOOO hyped about Anora though.

[@onlopine]

First of all, the ability to change your mind is not a flaw. Nowadays it is almost a sin, but it is truly a human ability. A quality even. If he changed his mind, that’s ok. Being undeterred, rigid in one’s opinions, that’s the problem. But I don’t think that’s the case here. There’s a lot of difference between what Brian thinks is gonna win and what he wishes would win.

[@Alexis-ox7lj]

not Russian but studied it in college, afaik the true Russian pronunciation would be more like Ba-ree-sov. Also am rooting for Diane Warren to finally get that damn Oscar!

[@naughtingale9479]

Whoever told you that was right, it is BorIsov! I was really rooting for Challengers, thoroughly enjoyed that one :(

[@pauldacanay2502]

Hoping julia roberts (,will hug and congratulate Demi in case she won, )sandra bullock,kate winslet ,barbra streisand will be part of five presentors in best actress. In addition Best Director goes to the substance.

[@malonecunha23]

Are you going to Berlin?

[@Dim4323]

Dune part 2 for best picture.

[@Julevooks]

for anora speaks the fact sean baker himself cut the movie , he is 4 time nominated this night and he can win his deserved oscar

[@colleen4ever]

23:55- Hey, if it worked for Judy Dench....

[@andersparker0228]

I don’t think that The Brutalist is the best cinematography of the year. Although my pick for that title didn’t get nominated. That would be Nickel Boys which is my second favorite film of 2024

[@shmebulock6890]

What is your opinion on the AI use in The Brutalist? After SAG ground Hollywood to a stop in their fight against the use of AI, I don’t think it would be a good look to award an AI enhanced performance. Do you think it has a chance to sink Brody’s chances? It would be a shame because his work in the film is great, but perhaps tainted.

[@kennybrian597]

The Brutalist for Best Production Design. When they unveiled that private library was the moment I knew.

[@susantocp]

The best editing would be to edit out EP from this year's ceremony

[@colleen4ever]

Amen!

[@tthemonsterr]

Am i trippin or you forgot the animated feature?

[@AlexandreAAFP]

And foreign movie

[@colleen4ever]

No contest- The Wild Robot!

[@VikingMatt879]

Just gotta say, I'm not surprised Challengers didn't get a score nomination. As I watched the movie, I said to myself I know lots of people are going to really get into this score, but Trent and Atticus did basically the same sort of thing with The Social Network score, which was infinitely better IMO. I thought to myself I doubt the academy is going to give these guys another Oscar for a score that was too similar that one, and I was correct.

[@capitaoamerica3452]

I don't think that Demi Moore gave us an Oscar Worthy perfomance...

[@alcidesperez7862]

SHE DID

[@Cinemahguy]

I dont either but it seems like everyone thinks she did.

[@capitaoamerica3452]

@@Cinemahguy Her performance is great, but nothing extraordinary, I think Mikey Madison's performance is better, or even Fernanda's or Cynthia's

[@Cinemahguy]

@ I agree. My vote has always been Madison.

[@marrmart7690]

Demi moore she dont make oscar worthy performance but she suprise audiance she comeback with searies acting and supject if we compare this film in her past
