On March 15, Academy voters will finally settle whether <em>One Battle<\/em> or <em>Sinners<\/em> goes into the history books as the Best Picture of 2025 at the 98th Academy Awards. And at least one Gold Derby editor is predicting that the vibes \u2014 though maybe not the odds \u2014 are favoring <strong>Ryan Coogler<\/strong>&#8216;s vampire yarn heading into the big night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Best Picture may be one of the tightest races at this year&#8217;s ceremony, but other categories are wide open when it comes to the winners. Your Gold Derby team has their final picks ready in all 26 races, from the short films to the four acting victors. The only thing we know for sure? <strong>Jessie Buckley<\/strong> is <em>definitely<\/em> taking home that Best Actress statuette.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"max-md:faux-bleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex ad-container\" id=\"_R_1an2kqoqk5elubsnoqdbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_1an2kqoqk5elubsnoqdbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_1an2kqoqk5elubsnoqdbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other safe calls include <em>KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> slaying its rivals in the Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song categories, as well as <em>Avatar: Fire and Ash<\/em> taking the Best Visual Effects Oscar back to Pandora.
