2025 Best Picture nominees: Where to watch all the Oscar contenders - chof 360 news

The 2025 Academy Awards are coming up, and we’ve got 10 contenders for the Best Picture pick to rewatch (or catch up on) before this Sunday. While Emilia Pérez leads the pack with the most 2025 Oscars nominations at 13, drama surrounding the film's lead actress has cast doubt over the film's Oscar prospects. Wicked and The Brutalist are tied for second place with 10 nominations apiece. Anora is most likely to nab that coveted Best Picture trophy according to chof360's prediction formula, but it's also competing against A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, I’m Still Here, Nickel Boys and The Substance.

The 2025 Oscars are this Sunday, Mar. 2 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streaming live on Hulu. In case you haven't kept up with the big award contenders this season, here's where you can watch every 2025 Academy Awards Best Picture nominee.
