On the morning of Thursday January 23rd 2025, one of the biggest annual events in the industry of entertainment will take place as the long-awaited and highly-anticipated Academy Award nominees will finally be announced.
It is a morning that every film lover around the globe looks forward to, and here at PrimeTime Films, we are just as excited as the rest of you.
Although the nominees were originally projected to be announced yesterday morning, the 19th of January, hence the term 'Oscar Sunday', the tragic spread of wildfire across the city of Los Angeles has meant that our anticipation has grown even larger as we await for the 23rd.
But this has given us a small chunk of time to tinker on our official predictions for the Academy Awards this year. So why wait any longer? In no particular order, here are PrimeTime Films official predictions for the 2025 Oscar nominations:
