Prediction of male categories winners at the Oscars 2025

Best Actor in a Leading Role

Here are the nominations for this category at the Oscars 2025:

• Colman Domingo for Sing Sing
• Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice
• Timothée Chalamet A Complete Unknown
• Ralph Fiennes for Conclave
• Adrien Brody for The Brutalist

The lineup is one of the best we have seen as every actor has shown a range of emotions and given a nuanced performance in his film. However, since only one man can earn the trophy, Adrien Brody might be honored with the award for his role as László Tóth in The Brutalist.

The 51-year-old actor stars as a Holocaust survivor, who works as an architect and moves to the US to rebuild his life. He has already recorded wins at the BAFTA Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and the Critics' Choice Movie Awards this year.

If Adrien Brody wins the Best Actor award at the Oscars 2025, this will mark his second victory. The actor has a special history with the Academy Awards as he became the youngest winner in the Best Actor category in 2002 for his performance in The Pianist.

Best Actor in a Supporting Role

The nominees for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the Oscars 2025 are given below:

• Edward Norton for A Complete Unknown
• Guy Pearce for The Brutalist
• Kieran Culkin for A Real Pain
• Jeremy Strong for The Apprentice
• Yura Borisov for Anora

All five are well-established names in the industry and have several accolades. At the Oscars 2025, Kieran Culkin is predicted to bag the Best Actor in a Supporting Role award for his performance as Benjamin "Benji" Kaplan in A Real Pain.

Culkin’s character is a major highlight of the comedy-drama film as he plays the lead, David Kaplan’s, cousin. This is Culkin’s first nomination at the Academy Awards, and it will be a well-deserved win if he gets the trophy.

For his role in A Real Pain, the 42-year-old has received the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, the BAFTA Award, and the Critics' Choice Award. He has also won multiple Emmy Awards in the past.

Oscars 2025 can be watched live on ABC and Hulu on March 2, 2025, at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT.
