The 2025 Oscars lack an obvious frontrunner like 'Oppenheimer' from the previous year, but several films are vying for Best Picture. Notably, 'Wicked' is expected to secure eight nominations, alongside 'Emilia Pérez', which might garner 12 nods due to its international acclaim. Other contenders include 'Conclave' and 'The Brutalist'. The influence of international Academy voters is growing, and the BAFTAs are increasingly seen as a reliable predictor for Oscars, a trend that is reflected in the nominations for both awards. The interplay between various award shows reveals emerging trends.
