However,the WGAs did throw in a twist whenNickel Boystook home the award.
While the WGA can be a good indicator andNickel Boysis certainly well-written,Conclaveremains on top.
These nominees were the same for the BAFTAs with the addition of Clarence Maclin forSing Sing.
Right now, that seems to be between Timothee Chalamet forA Complete Unknownand Adrien Brody forThe Brutalist.
Currently, Demi Moore forThe Substanceand Mikey Madison forAnoraare getting the most attention.
Demi Moore is favorite to win 2025’s Best Actress Oscar, for her role in The Substance.
