While there’s plenty to chew on and obsess over during any awards season, the 2025 Oscar race has been especially dramatic. Many point to the overlapping controversies around Best Picture nominee Emilia Pérez as the main headline.
But for this writer, the more fascinating story has been how A Complete Unknown star and Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet cleverly reimagined the traditional campaign playbook. Blending in elements of performance art, Chalamet transformed simple public appearances into must-see events, a strategy that has surely reinforced Bob Dylan’s previously stated admiration for the actor’s talents.
Can Chalamet, who earned a Best Actor nomination for Call Me By Your Name back in 2018, take home the trophy tonight? Check out the complete, continuously updated list of winners below. Worth noting: this year’s ceremony, with Conan O’Brien hosting at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, happens as the region recovers from devastating wildfires.
