2025 is quickly approaching, meaning the festival season for cinema is about to begin. Every studio brushes to ensure their film receives the most positive reactions and awards to promote their film. Winning an Oscar establishes a lifetime legacy for the film, an accolade every filmmaker dreams of.

The American epic science fiction film directed and co-produced by Dennis Villeneuve took audiences by storm as Warner Bros. continued the franchise. With a $190 budget, the massive box office hit made over $700 million. Critics raved all over the internet, highly praising the second installation of the Dune Saga, making the film an obvious nomination prediction. Starring Timothee Chalamet, the story dives further into the world of Paul as he reunites with Chani and the Fremen for a vengeful quest to avenge his family.

Joker: Folie a Deux

The highly anticipated second installation of Todd Phillips’s Joker storyline is almost here. Even though the film has yet to be released, audiences anticipate that Todd Phillips will provide another global success and achieve high critical acclaim. Todd Phillips is always trying to push the boundaries with star Joaquin Phoenix, likely granting him another nomination for best actor. Lady Gaga joins the cast, lending the film her musical chips, and bringing into speculation about what awards and nominations she will receive.

One thing is for certain: Joker: Folie a Deux will have massive success at the box office or the Oscar ceremonies. The storyline will follow a failed comedian, Arthur Fleck, as he meets the love of his life, Harley Quin, while incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital. Once Arthur is released, nothing stops them from causing chaos everywhere they go.

Gladiator II

Lastly, on the best picture nomination list we have Gladiator II starring Paul Mezcal, Denzel Washington, and Pedro Pascal. The mastermind sitting in the director’s chair is none other than Ridley Scott. With their combined talent and accolades alone, it is predicted that Gladiator 2 will achieve its fair share of success this year.

The epic historical action film is likely to receive a Best Director nomination, a Best Picture nomination, and if not one, multiple acting awards. The storyline of a vengeful man, Luicius, struggling to survive in the Colosseum after his uncle was murdered and his home destroyed by powerful emperors of Rome.

Oscar Nomination’s Wind Up

As we near the end of 2024, the race to release films before the festival and awards ceremony season is over has intensified throughout the film industry. The year offered many blockbuster hits, sequels, and fresh original content. However, Dune 2, Joker Folie a Deux, and Gladiator II are anticipated to be some of the top contenders in this year’s Oscars. Each of them takes on the award season with a stellar cast, veteran director, and massive budget, which has ensured each of them enormous critical acclaim. What are your thoughts on these early predictions?
