Oscar winners 2025: Full list as Anora wins Best Picture and sweeps Oscars

description: The comedy drama swept many of the top prizes, while big winners also included Adrien Brody for Best Actor and Zoe Saldaña for Best Supporting Actress
encoded: Anora was crowned the latest winner of the Best Picture Oscar at last night's 97th Academy Awards in Hollywood – with the film seeing off competition from the likes of Conclave and The Brutalist to follow Oppenheimer in winning the coveted prize. It was a night of sweeping of success for the comedy drama about a New York sex worker that marries the son of a Russian oligarch, with Sean Baker's film winning a total of five statuettes. Alongside Best Picture, Editing and Original Screenplay, those included a Best Director win for Baker – plus a win in the hotly contested Best Actress category for star Mikey Madison, who pipped The Substance star Demi Moore. Elsewhere, Timothée Chalamet's win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards had appeared to throw the Best Actor race wide open again, but in the end The Brutalist star Adrien Brody prevailed and won the second Oscar of his career, after winning in 2003 for The Pianist. Other acting wins included Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña in Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress respectively, as they both completed their hugely successful awards campaigns. Finally, there were also wins for Latvian film Flow in Best Animated Feature – beating Wallace and Gromit – and Brazil's I’m Still Here in Best International Film, while Brit Peter Straughan won Adapted Screenplay for Conclave. Read below for the full list of nominees and winners.

description: Starring Adrien Brody, the American epic from director Brady Corbet towers over the competition in more ways than one...
encoded: Like Lady Liberty on the Hudson River in its opening scene, The Brutalist looms large. The third film from American writer/director Brady Corbet is, in our RadioTimes.com review’s words, an “epic in length, weight and ambition” — and at three hours and 35 minutes, it stands aloft on this year’s ballots, as striking and bold as any of the buildings designed by its architect protagonist. A win in the Best Picture category on Oscars Sunday would make the film the longest winner since Ben-Hur in 1960 and the fourth longest in history, after William Wyler’s religious epic, Lawrence of Arabia and Gone with the Wind. But bigger isn’t always better – and, in fact, a 215-minute runtime makes the film a harder sell. In a time when our attention spans are purported to have been cut by small screens, The Brutalist being this year’s Oscar frontrunner is a testament to the film’s sweep and gripping narrative momentum. To paraphrase how Guy Pearce’s vain industrialist describes his conversations with Adrien Brody’s László Tóth, it’s simply: “persuasive and intellectually stimulating”. Download the Radio Times app for more Oscars 2025 coverage – including interviews with the stars and exclusive features. The story follows a Jewish architect from Budapest (Brody) working for a wealthy client (Pearce) after arriving in Pennsylvania having survived the Holocaust and being separated from his wife (Felicity Jones). If that sounds like it’s all about blueprints, concrete and cranes, fear not. This is a film with broad scope and rich thematic heft, with plenty to say about the tension between art and commerce, plus the myth of the American Dream. As a result, the film positions itself in the cinematic traditions of Orson Welles, The Godfather trilogy, Fitzcarraldo and There Will Be Blood – but The Brutalist was made for a fraction of the cost. Reports of a mere $10 million budget heralded Corbet’s work as a staggering feat in terms both artistic and economic. A world premiere at the Venic…

description: With just a few days until the ceremony, there are two clear frontrunners for the award.
encoded: As with this year’s Best Picture Oscar, it looks to be a case of sex work versus architecture for 2025’s Best Director award. Sean Baker’s madcap screwball comedy drama Anora, about a stripper who marries the son of a Russian oligarch, has won enough film-festival and critics’-choice awards to fill any mantlepiece – and yet the writer/director has only been a bookie’s frontrunner fleetingly. That’s because Brady Corbet and The Brutalist have been at least as big a presence on the Hollywood awards’ circuit, thanks to the colossal epic starring Adrien Brody as a mid-century Hungarian architect. At first glance, the rest of the field appears strong, thanks to all the other nominees being behind the camera for Best Picture contenders. However, there is little serious threat to the Baker and Corbet, who appear to be in a tight two-horse race, according to Hollywood pundits who read the runes like ex-footballers watch replays on Match of the Day. After Walk the Line and Le Mans ’66, James Mangold is seen as an exceedingly secure pair of hands for a true-life drama, but his Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown is perhaps too unspectacular and familiar to gain traction for a direction prize. Jacques Audiard of Emilia Pérez, meanwhile, is a seasoned figure in European festivals, where he has often been feted, yet his Netflix cartel-crime-drama-cum-musical lost momentum after star Karla Sofía Gascón was discovered to have posted a number of problematic tweets – and although Audiard has distanced himself from his leading lady, he now seems an outside bet. That leaves The Substance director Coralie Fargeat, who is just the ninth female directing nominee in history – and looks like a long shot to win due to her body-horror film being arguably the most confrontational on the ballot.
