Set to air on March 2, the 2025 Oscars have honored ten different movies ascontenders for Best Picture.
Released in October 2024,Conclaveis a political thriller set inside the Vatican.
However, most notably,Conclavehas earned a number of important awardsleading up to the Oscars.
In the past week, both the BAFTAs and the SAG awards premiered, andConclaveearned some incredible accolades.
These wins have now putConclaveahead of its competition.
This is a trend that could easily continue on into the Oscars.
Yet, once again,certain awards do not necessarily guarantee Oscar’s success, andConclaveexemplifies that.
This idea is proven fairly well by theBest Picture winners of years past.
However,Anoramay fall to the wayside in favor of a more traditional pick.
Notably,Brokeback Mountain’sloss is considered to be one of the biggest snubs in Oscar history.
Of course, there isa chance thatAnorawill not win Best Pictureat the Oscars, despite its previous successes.
Unfortunately,Anoracould repeat this disappointing loss.
For the past two years, the movie that won Best Editing also ended up winning Best Picture.
Furthermore, it is helpful to look at the categories whereConclaveandAnoraare facing off.
Unfortunately,the only category shared by both movies that is not Best Picture is Film Editing.
