2025 Oscar predictions: who I think will win in all 23 Oscar categories

Adrien Brody in The Brutalist.

We've gone through the Golden Globes, countless critics awards, the BAFTAs and the guilds. Now it's time for the main event, the 2025 Oscars. As the Academy votes on what they believe are the best and most accomplished movies of 2024 — from Anora to Wicked — I've compiled my own Oscar predictions of what I believe will win on Sunday, March 2.

Below you'll find my predicted winner in all 23 categories, as well as a little explanation as to why I'm going with that pick and what other nominees could play spoiler when the envelope is officially opened. My best ever scores were when I just got three categories wrong (20/23 in 2022, 21/24 in 2018); can I do better than that this year?
