2025 was a fantastic year for movies, offering a wide variety of excellent choices. The nominations were revealed earlier this year, and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners led the pack with an impressive 16 nominations, including one for Best Picture.
Films like Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia were also considered. However, only one film can win in each category.
