The Oscars 2025

Does the awesome sweep of an independent films mark a turn at the Oscars for indie quality over mainstream popularity? Let's find out with this year's winners.

BEST PICTURE - Anora by Sean Baker

What a credit to Baker's talent (Baker even edits his films!) and to the studio Neon, that guided 2019's “Parasite” to a similarly unorthodox victory. Bravo!

BEST ACTRESS - Mikey Madison for Anora

Mikey Madison in Anora is remarkable she truly owns the screen!

BEST ACTOR - Adrien Brody for The Brutalist

The second time Adrien Brody has triumphed in the category with a performance full of angular fierceness and passion.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR - Kieran Culkin for A Real Pain

Brilliant and mesmerizing, Kieran Culkin managed to get superb comic moments conjuring from serious situations.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG - El Mal from movie Emilia Pérez

Loving the songwriter's enthusiasm during the award acceptance speech!

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE - The Flow

The first independent production to do so, a little Latvian film achieves moments of shimmering, heart-swelling loveliness, is this a new era for the art form?

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY - The Brutalist

The Brutalist truly deserves this one, congratulations!
