Oscars 2025: Our predictions before the big winners are announced this Sunday

Big week for cinema! While the César 2025 ceremony is due to take place on Friday February 28 at the Olympia (and on Canal+ for those who want to follow the great mass of French cinema live and unencrypted), the Oscars 2025 will take place just two days later, on the night of Sunday March 2 to Monday March 3 at 1 a.m. (French time).

So it's time to make your predictions on which films will go home with their arms full of statuettes, and which will come away empty-handed. For our part, we've already had some fun giving you our predictions for the big winners at the 2025 Césars. Now let's make our predictions for the Oscars 2025!

The gala evening's favorites include Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez (with 13 nominations, including the prestigious Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director), Brady Corbet's The Brutalist (with 10 nominations) and Jon Chu's Wicked (also with 10 nominations).

Come on, let's make some predictions that aren't necessarily our favorites, but that could be just what theAcademy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the head of the Oscars, is looking for!
