Prediction of female winners at the Oscars 2025

The female categories at the 97th Academy Awards include Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Let’s see who is the frontrunner for the trophies in these categories:

Best Actress in a Leading Role

This year, five actresses are nominated for the Best Actress in a Leading Role award, including:

• Mikey Madison for Anora
• Demi Moore for The Substance
• Karla Sofía Gascón for Emilia Pérez
• Cynthia Erivo for Wicked
• Fernanda Torres for I’m Still Here

All five have given stellar performances and have contributed to the success of their respective films. Reportedly, Demi Moore could take home the trophy for her impressive act in The Substance.

The actress plays Elisabeth Sparkle in the body horror film. Her performance as an aging celebrity who goes to extreme lengths to look young has captivated the audience and the critics.

Demi has already bagged the Best Actress trophy at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and the Critics' Choice Awards this year. She is now expected to continue her winning streak at the 97th Academy Awards.

Best Actress in a Supporting Role

Coming to the Best Actress in a Supporting Role, five actresses have received nominations in this category at the Oscars 2025. These include:

• Ariana Grande for Wicked
• Isabella Rossellini for Conclave
• Felicity Jones for The Brutalist
• Zoe Saldaña for Emilia Pérez
• Monica Barbaro for A Complete Unknown

All five are extremely capable, and some have even outshone the leads of their films. But only one of them will win the award. Zoe Saldaña seems to be the frontrunner for the trophy at the Oscars 2025 for her role as Rita Mora Castro in Emilia Pérez.

Zoe’s performance as a struggling lawyer who agreed to help a cartel boss transition into a woman was loved by everyone. This marks her first Academy Award nomination, and she might end up winning.

Like Demi, Zoe has also swept all the major awards this year. She has won trophies for Best Supporting Actress at the Critics' Choice Awards, the BAFTA Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the Golden Globe Awards.
