AwardsWatch – 2025 Best Actress Oscar Predictions
Can Amy Adams finally secure an Oscar win on her 7th nomination? Since her first nod in 2005 for Junebug, Adams has been a consistent presence in the awards circuit with multiple nominations. Her latest role in Nightbitch, a unique story of a mom who transforms into a dog, could be her ticket to Oscar glory.
Angelina Jolie is set to portray Maria Callas in Maria, the latest entry in Pablo Larraín’s series of films about iconic women. With Jolie’s star power and the film’s potential debut at Venice, she is sure to be a contender this awards season.
