The heated best actor race was headlined by Timothée Chalamet and Adrien Brody, who traded wins through award season.

Adrien Brody, Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes and Sebastian Stan are in contention for the Best Actor Academy Award — and the Oscar could go to any of them.

The 25-year-old ‘Anora’ star joined a prestigious list of actors to have won an Academy Award before the age of 30.

Adrien Brody clinched his second Oscar for best actor, winning Sunday for his role as a visionary Hungarian architect in “ The Brutalist ” and solidifying his legacy as one of Hollywood's most compelling talents.

Adrien Brody is walking away with the coveted Best Actor trophy. The star, 51, took home the award for his role as László Tóth in “The Brutalist” at the 2025 Oscars on Sunday night. He beat out Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”), Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”) and Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”).

You might be surprised how many A-list actors have yet to take home their first Oscar. Will any of this year's crop break the jinx on March 2?

Kieran Culkin won the Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role as the descendant of a Holocaust survivor who makes a family pilgrimage to Poland in the dramatic comedy of manners “ A Real Pain. ”
