New Oscar Charts: Screenplays, Music, and Visuals
Sunday, June 22, 2025 at 8:00PM by Nathaniel R
Speeding the April Foolish Oscar chart production up now, with 10 of Oscar's 24 categories posted, in order to finish by, uh... June's end.
- Prediction Index
(in progress since some categories are still under construction) - Original & Adapted Screenplay
- Visuals (all but two posted)
- Sound
- International Film
Ten categories left to publish (we never predict the shorts or documentary categories this early), so we'll try hard to get them all up this week and say more about the, too. They are: Actress, Actor, Animated Feature, Casting, Cinematography, Costume Design, Director, Picture, Supporting Actress, and Supporting Actor.
Wicked and Sinners currently lead the predicted tallies though that may change with the remaining categories yet to be posted. What's interesting is that they could fill up 80% of the original song category since Wicked (an official musical) has two Original Songs, one for each of its leading ladies, while Sinners (an unofficial musical) has four or five ... though of course only two song nominations are allowed for any film given the current Oscar rules; That rule is kind of a bummer because given the popularity of both Wicked and Sinners we could have finally had a year without the mandatory throwaway Diane Warren nomination!

Not bad so far, but we will see if some of these movies will be release this year. Also for Best Original Song I would put "Takedown" from KPop Demon Hunters on this list in case, Here is a link to the song at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XRcflf_E0c.
Movies in the running from PTA, Lanthimos, Baumbach and both Safdies makes for a very promising but very film-bro-ey season.
Fernando Fernán Gómez
Belle Epoque
The Grandfather
All About My Mother
Had no idea that Italy had to choose between Ciociara and La notte.

I think Wicked and Sinners might get a lot of nominations but in different ways. Sinners will get all the aural categories- sound and score, while Wicked gets the visual categories- costume, production design, VFX. They both might share song nominations and duke it out for the win.
The song "Never You" from Kiss of the Spider Woman may or may not be eligible. It was written for the original production of the musical, but was cut before it got to Broadway.
