2025 awards tracker: From Angelina Jolie to Selena Gomez, see who's winning (and losing) in the Oscars race so far

Who are the top contenders for the 2025 Oscars? Well, given the status of the current awards race, the answer is half of Hollywood.

With so many awards shows and prestigious film festivals announcing their lists of annual honorees and nominees, Entertainment Weekly has launched our seasonal awards tracker, which includes a report card for each film, actor, and actress who's winning — and losing — accolades on the trail so far.

According to early tracker status, Best Actress is one of the most contentious races in recent memory, with several Hollywood titans vying for Oscars glory at the same time, including Angelina Jolie (Maria), Nicole Kidman (Babygirl), and Demi Moore (The Substance) — all of whom have stacked report cards alongside relative newcomers such as Mikey Madison (Anora) and Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez). Though, upon the SAG Awards nominations announcement, Jolie's campaign endured a major setback when the union's awards body left her off of its annual nominations list — days after she also missed out on the BAFTA longlist, meaning she's statistically vulnerable heading into Oscar nominations morning.

On the other side of the aisle, Best Actor is also heating up, with Ralph Fiennes prepping for a potential holy haul in the awards race for his performance in Conclave, while The Brutalist's Adrien Brody is eyeing up a potential comeback on the awards scene. It's Colman Domingo, however, who could pull off a rare feat by scoring back-to-back Oscar nods in Best Actor after previously appearing in the category for Rustin — this time thanks to his acclaimed work in Sing Sing.

At this early stage in the race, though, the supporting categories have also proven to be an unpredictable gauntlet, with unexpected contender Carol Kane emerging with two major back-to-back notices (winning at the NYFCC and scoring an Indie Spirit nod within 24 hours of each other) for Between the Temples, while Ariana Grande (Wicked), Zoë Saldaña and Selena Gomez (Emilia Pérez), Danielle Deadwyler (The Piano Lesson), Clarence Maclin (Sing Sing), and Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) have all posted healthy sets of nominations so far.

Check back with EW's awards tracker (below) throughout awards season, as more nominations and ceremonies roll out ahead of the March 2 Oscars telecast hosted by Conan O'Brien.
