After the SAG Awards 2025 kicked off on Sunday, Feb. 23, the Oscar race became clearer—and no, Timothée Chalamet is not in favor. Although Chalamet secured a big win at SAG, Adrien Brody remains the front-runner after collecting the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, and BAFTA. So now, Chalamet’s Oscar chances seem shaky, with Brody gaining momentum.
Meanwhile, in the Best Actress category, there’s no room for doubt—Demi Moore appeared to dominate the award season, winning the Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and now SAG. So, with such a consistent streak, much like Adrien Brody, Moore seems to be an inevitable front-runner for an Oscar win.
Timothée Chalamet might lose his Oscar to Adrien Brody
Timothée Chalamet has undoubtedly become Hollywood’s biggest rising star with massive potential after his multiple Oscar-nominated performances. This year, he was expected to finally win his first Academy Award given how two of his films have been nominated—Dune: Part Two and A Complete Unknown.
However, following the recent SAG Awards, it seems that Timothée Chalamet might have to wait some more, to bag his first Golden statue. Because as the SAG Awards wrapped up the award season with only Oscars remaining to happen, Adrien Brody emerged as the strongest contender in the Best Actor category.
Winning not just one award like Timothée Chalamet (the SAG Award), Adrien Brody collected a total of three awards so far—the Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and BAFTA awards. And these three major wins undoubtedly offered Brody an undeniable edge and dominance over the upcoming Academy Awards.
So now, although winning the SAG Award is a big deal, it doesn’t always guarantee an Oscar victory—Timothée Chalamet’s Oscar dream seems far-fetched. Meanwhile, Adrien Brody’s consistent wins have put him in a prime position.
Demi Moore’s Oscar win seems inevitable amid the award season
On the other hand, Demi Moore seems to be having the best award season of her career. Reigning the Best Actress category with multiple award wins through major ceremonies, Moore has become a force to be reckoned with, much like Adrien Brody. So far, the actress has bagged the Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and now the SAG Award.
While she has been competing against Fernanda Torres and Mikey Madison, Demi Moore made such a fascinating winning streak that now her Oscar win seems inevitable. So, whether Timothée Chalamet wins or not, Moore seems to have the potential to win her first Academy Award after decades of serving the industry with widely praised performance.
Considering how an actor who wins all the major pre-Oscar awards, usually goes on to win the big one, Demi Moore seems to be heading that way with The Substance. Unless something unexpected happens, the actress’ long-awaited Oscar moment seems just around the corner. So buckle up for the intense 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025.
