The 2025 Oscar nominations have sparked significant excitement, particularly in the Best Actress category. Announced by Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott live, nominees include Cynthia Erivo for "Wicked," and Julianne Moore for "The Substance." The Academy delayed the announcement due to California wildfires, leading to heightened anticipation. With both actresses receiving critical acclaim for their performances, movie enthusiasts speculate on possible winners. Critics have praised Moore's comeback role and Erivo's standout musical performance, highlighting the diverse talents represented in this year's nominations.
Many have already begun predicting which stars are tipped to lead in the Best Actress category, which saw Cynthia Erivo of "Wicked," Karla Sofía Gascón of "Emilia Pérez," Mikey Madison of "Anora," of "The Substance," and Fernanda Torres of "I'm Still Here" all garnering nominations.
However, both actresses have garnered incredible critical acclaim for their performances, with Rotten Tomatoes branding "The Substance" as Moore's "finest hour."
The roles for which the two women are nominated could not be more different, nor could the movies they star in.
A huge number of movie buffs foresee Moore—who made an incredible career comeback in "The Substance," a role that has already earned her a Golden Globe Award—and Erivo—who captured viewers' hearts while portraying Elphaba in the musical adaptation of "Wicked"—to be major players in the race.
