This Sunday, March 2, takes place the 97th edition of Oscar and, for the second time in almost 100 years of existence of the awards, Brazil competes for the main honor of the night, the best film, with I’m still here, Walter Salles (Central do Brasil) Starring by FERNANDA TORRES (Tapas & Kisses).
But does the coveted gold statuette come to Brazil? Next, check out the opinions of the newsroom of Rolling Stone Brazil on who wins and Who should win The best film award at Oscar 2025:
Felipe Grutter, editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone Brazil
- Who wins:Anora
- Who should win:Conclave
With great success in the season of awards, with achievements in the awards of Hollywood’s directors (DGA) and producers (DGA) and producers (PGA), Anora It should end the Oscar 2025 ceremony with the best movie statuette. However – without being a club with I’m still herewhich also deserves the statuette -, who should win is Conclavewhich has great performances, exquisite direction and bright script.
Henrique Nascimento, Rolling Stone Brazil Cinema Editor
- Who wins:Conclave
- Who should win:Anora
As Brazilian and proud, I hope for a surprise and the possible victory of I’m still here. However, being realistic, I believe the prize goes to Conclaveone of the strongest competitors of the current awards season. Still, if the statuette is not surprising falling in the lap of Walter Salles and company, I hope you go to the shelf Sean Baker. I don’t stop thinking about Anora – and in Mikey Madison – Since I saw him. It’s a fun, exciting and easily one of the best of the year.
Aline Carlin Cordaro, reporter for Rolling Stone Brazil
- Who wins:Anora
- Who should win:Wiced
Anora It arrives at the Oscar 2024 with a virtually unbeatable history. The movie Sean Baker He beat the Golden Palm in Cannes and dominated important awards such as Critics Choice, PGA and DGA Awards, which practically guarantees his victory. But my crowd goes to Wiced. The adaptation of the Broadway musical delivered a visual and emotional show that enchanted the audience and brought a freshness to the musicals in the cinema. With a heavy cast, striking performances and a giant cultural impact, it would be amazing to see a movie like this to take the main prize.

- Who wins:Conclave
- Who should win:I’m still here
Despite the unions awards (PGA and DGA) indicate that Anora is the big favorite the best movie, I believe the British Conclave It has a great strength with the most conservative wing of the academy’s voters. The preferential method usually helps movies that please all types of audiences, and Conclave It is less disruptive than Anorawhich can bother some. However, as a Brazilian, I cannot fail to mention that the best among the ten indicated is I’m still here. Even so, cost believes that the gym will award a Latin movie with its main honor.

- Who should win:I’m still here
Of all categories, the best movie has become a box of surprises in recent years. Conclave and Anora are the favorites, no doubt, but I’m still here He is doing a historic passage through theaters in the United States and had a campaign focused on American voters. With so many positive criticism that the film received, it would not be impossible to dream of the main prize of the night.
Giulia Cardoso, editor of Rolling Stone Brasil
- Who wins:I’m still here
- Who should win:Sing Sing – not indicated to the category
I will be forced to say that Sing Sing should win the best film award at the Oscar 2025. Even though it was not nominated for the category, the movie is as exciting as I’m still here And we all know that by gaining the main honor of the night, production gains more evidence, which would be perfect for such a sensitive production that deserves to be seen by more people.
Heloísa Lisboa, reporter for Rolling Stone Brazil
- Who wins:Conclave
- Who should win:I’m still here
Although Conclave It has not guaranteed a nomination in the category of best direction – a very common relationship with best film Oscar winners – wins in BAFTA and SAG Awards demonstrate a possible trend that the gym can follow in Oscar 2025. Anora It is another bet that has gained strength, but Conclave It looks like a more solid option.
Rodrigo Tammaro, editor of Rolling Stone Brasil
- Who wins:Anora
- Who should win:Anora
The movie Sean Baker About an American stripper who marries a Russian heir is quoted as a favorite for the main thermometers of the Oscar. Although the race for the statuette has begun less prominent than competitors, Anora It took three of the four unions awards, which give clues about who should stay with the statuette.
