Oscars2025: Early Predictions and Hot Takes
The Academy Awards are known for their unpredictable nature, and with the 2025 Oscars on the horizon, the conversation is already swirling about which films, actors, and directors will be nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor/Actress. As the Oscar race heats up, there are a few clear frontrunners and some under-the-radar contenders that could surprise.
One of the most talked-about names in the 2025 Best Actor category is Timothée Chalamet, whose performance in the highly anticipated film Wonka has garnered rave reviews from early screenings. The actor, known for his roles in Call Me by Your Name and Dune, has been making waves in the industry as a rising talent. Many critics are already predicting he’ll score a nomination, and possibly even an award, for his portrayal of the iconic chocolatier, Willy Wonka.
Zendaya, another rising star, is also a major name being thrown around for Best Actress in 2025. After her outstanding performance in HBO’s Euphoria, Zendaya has continued to cement her place as one of Hollywood’s most talented and versatile young actresses. With her starring role in Challengers a sports drama directed by Luca Guadagnino—many are speculating that she could snag a nomination for her emotionally charged performance.
Best Picture predictions are also heating up, with some of the year’s most talked-about films making their case for the top prize. Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, is already generating Oscar buzz due to its timely storytelling and stellar performances. Other contenders include Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan, which has already gained early momentum for its compelling take on the story behind the creation of the atomic bomb.
#GoldenGlobes2025: Surprising Snubs and Shocked Fans
While the Golden Globe Awards typically recognize both film and television, it’s the TV categories that have recently sparked the most controversy. Fans and critics alike are in an uproar over the apparent snubbing of shows like Succession and The White Lotus from the Best TV Show category, and many are questioning the Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor/Actress in a TV Drama.
The latest debate ignited by X users revolves around the absence of HBO’s Succession, which ended its critically acclaimed run in 2024. The show, which has won multiple awards in the past, including Best TV Drama at the Golden Globes, was expected to make a strong showing this year, particularly with its final season and the remarkable performances from its ensemble cast. However, despite its cultural impact and critical acclaim, Succession was shockingly left off several major nominations, leaving fans stunned and questioning how such a cultural phenomenon could be overlooked.
Similarly, HBO’s The White Lotus, another show that had a strong year with its latest season, was expected to pick up multiple nominations. However, many were left perplexed by its absence in key categories like Best TV Show – Comedy or Musical and Best Actress in a Comedy for Jennifer Coolidge, whose portrayal of Tanya McQuoid has become one of the show’s standout performances. Coolidge, who won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for the first season, was thought to be a lock for a nomination this year, but her snubbing has left fans puzzled.
The Race to the Top: What Makes This Year’s Awards Season So Exciting?
What makes the 2025 Oscars and Golden Globes particularly exciting is the unpredictability of the race. With many of the year’s top contenders still in the mix, the awards season is wide open. Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet are not the only young stars making a name for themselves—newcomers like Austin Butler (Elvis) and Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) are also expected to make a significant impact on the awards scene.
However, it’s not just about the newcomers. The return of veteran filmmakers like Scorsese and Nolan, as well as heavy-hitters like Ridley Scott (Napoleon), are adding a lot of weight to the conversation. Similarly, streaming platforms like Netflix and Apple TV+ are continuing to push the boundaries of storytelling with projects like “The Killer” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” gaining a significant presence in the race.
