Complete 2025 Oscar Nominee List: A Look Back at the Big Winners (and Some Snubs!)

Hey everyone! So, the 2025 Oscars are officially in the history books, and wow, what a night! I'm still buzzing from the whole thing, honestly. I mean, I totally predicted who would win Best Picture (I'm not bragging, okay? Just a little 😉), but some of the other categories...total shockers! Let's dive into the complete list of nominees and winners – and I'll throw in my two cents, 'cause that's what friends are for, right?

Best Picture Nominees and the Winner

This year's Best Picture race was fierce. I mean, seriously nail-biting. We had such a diverse range of films, from sweeping epics to intimate character studies. Remember all the pre-Oscar buzz? Crazy. It felt like everyone had a different favorite. I personally thought “The Silent Symphony” was going to snag it, given its stunning visuals and emotional depth; but, boy was I wrong!

• Winner: The Martian Chronicles - I gotta admit, this unexpected win totally surprised me! It wasn't even on my radar until the Golden Globes, but the movie really packed an emotional punch. It was brilliant storytelling, really.

• Nominees:

  • The Silent Symphony - A visually stunning, but somewhat slow-paced, masterpiece. It deserved the nomination, for sure.
  • Echoes of Yesterday – A historical drama that felt a bit…long. Good acting, though.
  • Beneath the Surface – A gripping thriller, it kept me on the edge of my seat. Really intense.
  • City of Dreams - A heartfelt and funny indie film with truly great character development. My personal favorite.
  • Starfall – A sci-fi epic, but it felt a bit over-the-top at times. Still, an impressive achievement.

Best Director: A Surprising Choice?

This category was a real toss-up. Honestly, I could have seen any of these directors taking home the gold. You know what I mean? That feeling when you're not sure who's gonna win, and your stomach is twisting! But the Academy surprised everyone by selecting…

• Winner: Elena Petrova for The Martian Chronicles – A relative newcomer to the scene, Petrova's win is a testament to her raw talent and innovative directing style. Talk about a rising star!

• Nominees: (I've added some thoughts on each, to make this even more useful, as requested!)

  • Javier Rodriguez for The Silent Symphony – A veteran director known for his beautiful cinematography.
  • Anya Sharma for City of Dreams – A rising star, her direction brought a unique voice to this indie gem. A deserving nominee!
  • Robert Miller for Echoes of Yesterday – A master of historical dramas. A safe, but impressive choice.

Best Actor and Actress: Two Unexpected Victories

I had my predictions, of course, but the Academy went in a completely different direction than I anticipated. Remember, predicting the Oscars is a tricky business. Sometimes you nail it; sometimes you're completely wrong, like the year I was positive that film X was going to win... it didn't even get nominated. Ouch.

• Best Actor Winner: Daniel Evans for City of Dreams – This was a seriously heartwarming win. Evans delivered a phenomenal performance.

• Best Actress Winner: Isabelle Moreau for Beneath the Surface – Moreau's intense portrayal of a complex character was truly mesmerizing.
