‘Awards Magnet’: Final 2025 Oscar nominations predictions
What’s taking the 10th spot in Best Picture? And who’s grabbing the fifth spot in Best Actress? Gold Derby experts and editors Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng make their final 2025 Oscar nominations predictions in all 23 categories on Awards Magnet.
The delayed Producers Guild of America Awards nominations threw us all for a loop on Thursday with a surprise nomination for September 5 alongside the expected Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, A Real Pain, The Substance, and Wicked. Sing Sing, which remains in ninth place in the Best Picture odds, was AWOL, a day after it collected three BAFTA nominations in all of its longlisted categories. The A24 drama’s run has been up and down all season, but is the PGA snub a death knell? Especially since September 5 has also underperformed?

Similarly, the Best Actress lineup has been a headache to figure out, with big names like Angelina Jolie (Maria) and Nicole Kidman (Babygirl) flatlining, and underdogs like Golden Globe champ Fernanda Torres (I’m Still Here) and Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl) rising. And there’s, of course, critics’ favorite Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths), who got a much-needed BAFTA nomination after being omitted by the Globes. Does Torres’ last-second Globe victory with killer campaigner Sony Pictures Classics behind her give her the edge?
