Every year at this time, the best of Hollywood await their destiny, as the internet prepares for a flood of memes, and heated takes, and by that we mean - it's Oscar nomination time. Both moviegoers and casual watchers are already casting their bets and getting ready to either rejoice or vent as the Oscar nominees are about to be revealed. Social media sites erupt with predictions, grievances, and, of course, moments worthy of memes whenever new news is made:
"Oscar nominations are announced tomorrow," Pop Base tweeted. A flurry of comments followed the question, "Who would you like to see nominated?"
The internet is prepared for the drama that comes with the Academy Awards, from Timothée Chalamet acolytes to admirers of up-and-coming musicians like Doechii. Will Cillian Murphy and Zendaya, who are beloved by fans, receive a nod? Or will supporters shout into the emptiness of Twitter due to the unavoidable snubs? The internet show has already started, in any case.
Memes, predictions, and fan reactions take over the internet ahead of the 2025 Oscar nominations
Fans have already rushed to Twitter to express their emotions about the Oscar fervor, including memes and predictions about who they believe should win the golden statue. One user tweeted:
“Baby nessarose,” along with a picture of the iconic star from Wicked, showcasing their hope for the upcoming Wicked adaptation.
Meanwhile, some fans were a bit more cynical, with one tweet reading:
“Not Emilio Pérez,” poking fun at potential snubs.
Timothée Chalamet is, unsurprisingly, a hot topic, with one fan sharing a still of him in Dune 2 alongside the caption:
“My goat needs an oscar.”
And while some users are hyped for the nominations, others aren’t as impressed:
“Don’t care. Big joke,” one tweet declared, capturing the spirit of viewers who feel the Oscars have lost their luster.
"Nothing for nicki," another fan tweeted.
But, hope remains for some:
“Just give one to doechii already,” said one fan, supporting the rising music star at the *cough* film awards.
The enthusiasm continues, with another fan jokingly predicting:
“Bad bunny will take everything,” while yet another tweet took a more playful turn:
“DIDDY… oh wait.. that wasn’t an act,” referring to an unexpected moment at a past award show.
And of course, no meme thread of this kind would be complete without a nod to beloved stars like Zendaya and Cillian Murphy, with one user posting the viral GIF of a girl nodding happily, captioned simply:
“Zendaya and Cillian Murphy.”
Behind the nominations: What to expect this year?
As the nominees are about to be announced, what can we anticipate from this year's Oscars? The competition is intense, featuring highly praised films competing for a sought-after position in categories such as Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director.
As the shortlists emerge, it becomes evident that this year's awards will once again mirror Hollywood's changing preferences, the worldwide impact of streaming, and the increasing visibility of emerging talent.
Numerous individuals are also interested in how the Academy will manage the controversies from past years—concerns regarding diversity, inclusivity, and representation continue to be significant for audiences and commentators alike. No matter the outcome, the internet has already influenced the discussion, as memes offer a witty critique of the award show and the larger entertainment field.
