2025 has already been an amazing year for film. From instant classics like Sinners to adrenaline-fueled racing movies like F1: The Movie, there have been many films that have performed well with both critics and audiences. With half of the year still remaining, there are tons of upcoming movies that are bound to be received well by viewers, which could eventually lead to Oscar nominations. Most films nominated for Best Picture premiere during a fall film festival or in the winter months. This strategy is done by film studios because the movies are likely fresh in Academy members’ minds compared to movies released in the earlier months of the year.
