The 2025 Oscars had many competitive awards this year, with a lot of well-loved movies and actors nominated for many awards. The biggest movie nominated for 13 awards this year at the Oscars was “Emilia Perez”. There’s been a lot of controversy around this movie, and an overall question from many as to why this movie has so many awards and nominations? The movie has been given 2.2 out of 5 stars, is rated 5.4/10 on IMDb, and 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, the movie won the most golden globes of the year and had the most nominations at the Oscars.
“I don’t like the Emilia Perez movie at all. I feel like the songs are bad. I think the reason it’s nominated is because they wanted to give credit to the director. That’s what I heard”, quoted Tara Gyaltsen, who was asked her opinion on the Emilia Perez film.
Another big award that caused some debate was the Best Actress Award, who was given to Mikey Madison for the movie, “Anora”. Although the movie was given 2.8 out of 5 stars, the movie also has a ranking of 7.6/10 on IMDb, and 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some believe that actress Cynthia Enrivo deserved the award because she would have become an EGOT winner. Others think Mikey Madison deserves the award for her hard work in her role.
Luke Baumbach shared his opinion, arguing, ”Cynthia Enrivo deserved the award! She would’ve been an EGOT winner.” Overall, many thought that the movie “Wicked” was snubbed- having 10 nominations and only winning 2 Academy Awards the night of the Oscars.
Lastly, Aiden Brody won Best Actor for “The Brutalist”, which has a high ranking overall. Aiden Brody made history that night by having the longest acceptance speech in Oscars History, with a time of 5 minutes and 45 seconds! Overall, most people who watched the Oscars think that some actors were snubbed.
Samreen Ghotra discussed her opinions on the winners, saying, “I feel like the winners weren’t that bad, but I also feel like some of the other nominees should have won. It still feels a bit unfair.”
Hopefully next year some of our favorite nominees will take home some Oscars.
