This is the first win and nomination for Nina Hoss. She wins for her performance as Eileen Lovborg in Hedda.

Nia DaCosta the director extraordinare of Hedda by reinvisioning Loveborg as a female character in her 2025 take on Hedda was a genius decision with the casting of the great German actress Nina Hoss in the part truly life altering. Hoss a great actress of the screen and stage whose history with Hedda has had her play the titular part on stage for years of her life all comes through her shining moment.

The moment she walks on screen you the audience are as captivated by her presence as Hedda herself is being pulled into her presence. Even with a pretty stunning picture around her it's Hoss that you he audience are attracted to with each great acting moment that she has throughout. Hoss truly has never been better on screen than in this stellar supporting part.

Jafar Panahi for It Was Just an Accident
Ryan Coogler for Sinners

AND THE WINNER:


EVA VICTOR FOR SORRY, BABY

This is the first win and nomination for Eva Victor.

Eva Victor's Sorry Baby a sensational debut feature film is a feat in screen writing that should not be overlooked when thinking of the best films of 2025. Victor's script includes well written one character scenes, a well rounded female supportive female friendship, moments of past reflection and truly some of the most memorable movie moments from the whole year.

I love this film and look forward to whatever future film Eva Victor will make as their first film was so well conceived.

OUTSTANDING COSTUME DESIGN


Malgosia Turzanska for Hamnet
Lindsay Pugh for Hedda
Colleen Atwood and Christine Cantella for Kiss of the Spider Woman
Ruth E. Carter for Sinners
Manon Rasmussen for The Ugly Stepsister

AND THE WINNER:


LINDSAY PUGH FOR HEDDA

This is the first win and nomination for Lindsay Pugh.

Hedda will remain one of the most overlooked great films from 2025 for me. I knew immediately once the film begun I was in for a thrill ride. Speaking specifically about the films costume design each new outfit we witness a character wear is so gorgeous to look at and especially plays a part in the story which makes the craft heightened and easily my best choice of the year. I can't decide on what my favourite creation is in the whole film instead loving all the costumes whether worn by men or women throughout.

OUTSTANDING BREAKTHROUGH/DEBUT


Miles Caton (Sinners)
Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another)
Abou Sangaré (Souleymane’s Story)
Tonatiuh (Kiss of the Spider Woman)
Eva Victor (Sorry, Baby)

AND THE WINNER:


CHASE INFINITI (ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER)

Chase Infiniti really is a star to be reckoned with her One Battle After Another really announcing her as a force. In the film her character may not speak much but her performance speaks loudly physically. Having seen her before on Presumed Innocent she was a stand out with her leading turn in this PTA announcing her so extremely well.
