Who decides who will win an Oscar in 2025?
Like every year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) decides who will receive an Oscar. The voluntary organization is active over 10,000 members from the film industry together who hold different professions from actors to cameramen.
In contrast to festivals like Cannes or the Berlinale, at the Academy Awards it is not a jury that decides on the nominations and the ultimate Oscar win, but rather a large number of filmmakers in a complex election process.
