Inside Out 2, Challengers, Hit Man, and more: 7 movies that could be nominated for the 2025 Oscars
1) Dune: Part Two
Trending
With Zendaya and Timothee Chalamet reprising their roles from the super successful Dune, Dune Part Two has been just as well-received by the audience.
A 2024 American science fiction movie, Dune Part Two is the second part of a two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel by the same name. It follows Paul Atreides as he unites with the Fremen people from the desert planet of Arrakis to fight House Harkonnen, who killed his family.
With the level of success the movie has seen, it could be a strong contender in the Best Picture and Best Director categories in the 2025 Oscars.
2) Challengers
Yet another Zendaya starrer, Challengers is a tennis-centric romantic movie that has received positive feedback in the movie community.
The movie follows the story of Tashi (Zendaya), a tennis player turned coach, who trains her husband to transform from a mediocre tennis player to a grand slam champion. However, as he faces a bit of a losing streak, Tashi makes him play a challenger event, where he finds himself competing against Patrick, his former best friend, and Tashi's ex-boyfriend.
Although the movie is more on the commercial side, it could be a contender for the 2025 Oscars.
3) I Saw The TV Glow
The 2024 horror drama I Saw The TV Glow has received great reviews from the movie community for its unique story. It has a strong chance of being nominated for the Oscars next year.
The movie follows a teenage student, Owen, who is introduced to a strange late-night show by his classmate, which shows weird visuals of a supernatural world beneath their own. However, as he gets more into the show, Owen's vision of reality begins to crack.
4) Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a prequel in the Mad Max series where Anya Taylor Joy takes up the role of a young Furiosa. The movie follows the story of Furiosa as a young girl snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and handed to a great biker horde led by warlord Dementus (played by Chris Hemsworth). The story progresses as we follow Furiosa desperately trying to find her way home.
The last time George Miller donned his director's cap in the Mad Max series, he delivered the successful Mad Max: Fury Road, a strong contender at the Oscars. Therefore, fans have high expectations of Furiosa and believe it can find its place in the 2025 Oscars.
5) Hit Man
Richard Linklater's latest comedy, Hit Man, stars Glen Powell as a fake hitman who begins to fall for a client trying to escape an abusive husband. However, this budding romance begins to go downhill as the duo unravels the multiple layers of lies between them.
Fans believe this movie has the potential to make it to the Oscars in 2025 due to the traction it got in Venice last fall. If it does, it won't be Richard Linklater's first time at the Oscars.
6) Inside Out 2
This sequel to the supremely successful Inside Out has also gained a lot of positive feedback from the cinema community.
The movie shows how Joy, Anger, Sadness, Fear, and Disgust run a tight ship inside Riley's brain. However, when Anxiety shows up, they do not have any idea about what to do or how to feel.
Inside Out has always been popular for tackling the idea of human emotions in a creative way, and with the introduction of the new character, Anxiety, Inside Out 2 has gone to the level where it might be a strong contender for Best Picture at the 2025 Academy Awards.
7) Joker: Folie a Deux
Joker: Folie A Deux follows the story of a failed comedian, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), who meets the love of his life, Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga), at the Arkham State Hospital. Upon their release, the duo sets out on a doomed yet romantic misadventure where chaos ensues.
Joker: Folie A Deux will see two major Oscar winners pairing up, and the original movie, Joker, was also a big hit at the Academy Awards. Therefore, it's a safe bet to say that the second movie in the series might also be a strong contender for the 2025 Oscars.
These are some of the movies that stand a chance to get nominated at the 2025 Oscars. Fans should make sure to watch them all before the Academy Awards take place.
