4 h. ago Saldaña squished and Chalamet chafing as Ariana and Cynthia bag the best seats: the 2025 Oscars class photo

The Academy Award nominees assembled for their annual group portrait, but who scooped the prize for looking the most bored?Every year during Oscars week, it has become tradition for all the nominees to meet up and eat a meal together. This is usually followed by a group photo; something that the people in attendance can look back upon and cherish, knowing that for this one moment all competition fell away and they found joy in surrounding themselves with their gifted colleagues.At least that’s the idea. As anyone who has ever been in a group photo will attest, these things are an absolute mess. There are simply too many people to control, and the resulting image is generally a free-for-all of weird costumes, odd expressions and seemingly hostile body language. As such, let’s use this year’s Oscars class photo to hand out some awards of our own. Continue reading...

All you need to know about the five directors in the running for the Academy’s prestigious film-making prize, along with reviews of their nominated films, interviews and the awards they’ve earned so far• Full list of Oscar nominationsTrack record: Baker came out of the US’s microbudget/indie subculture; his first feature, Four Letter Words, was released way back in 2000.

His next film, Red Rocket, premiered in competition at Cannes. Continue reading...

Or maybe you haven’t noticed Pearce’s Oscars campaign because he keeps rubbishing his own career: he was “shit” in Memento (“I’m bad in a good movie. Fuck!”), worse in Neighbours (“I played the same thing and it fucking drove me nuts”) and has cheerfully owned up to acting in “a bunch of shit during my divorce because I needed the money”.As awards campaigns go – well, it’s a lot better than Karla Sofía Gascón’s.
