OUR PICKS – Who Limelight Magazine would nominate if we could vote on the Oscar nominees for 2025

The unveiling of nominations for the 98th Academy Awards will take place tomorrow (Thursday, January 22). Although Limelight Magazine is not going to predict any of the nominees in the various categories, we are going to make our own nominations in the four acting categories and see if any make the cut. While we have seen most of the buzzworthy films, we have not seen all of them, including Hamnet, so we’re basing this on what we saw versus what the pundits are saying.

Each category is ranked in order of performance.
