Baker walked away with Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing. Anora star Miey Madison scored an upset victory over The Substance’s Demi Moore for Best Actress.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (April 2025)
Val Kilmer in Val.

Since Val Kilmer passed away earlier this week, there's a resurgence in interest in Val, the 2021 documentary made about his life that was created with the full cooperation of Kilmer and his family. It's also a fitting way to start the best movies on Amazon Prime Video for April 2025.
This week's best new addition to Prime Video is Poor Things, the film that earned Emma Stone her second Oscar for Best Actress. Prime Video lost a handful of great movies at the beginning of the month, and Oppenheimer will be leaving the streamer in just under two weeks. Fortunately, there are still a lot of options among the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, which you can find below. We update this list every Friday so you can get ready for the weekend with your top viewing options.
Need more recommendations? We’ve also put together guides to the best shows on Prime Video, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Netflix, the best new movies to stream, and the best movies on Disney+.

Best Musical Performances at the Oscars, ranked
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper perform Shallow at the 2019 Oscars.

The 96th Academy Awards will be held this Sunday, March 2, and we've already chosen our picks for the Oscars. However, this year's ceremony will be the first time in years that none of the five nominees for Best Original Song will be given the chance to perform on the industry's biggest stage.

There's no good justification for the academy moving away from that tradition. The Oscars are always going to be bloated mess that stretches beyond the allotted three-hour run time. But watching the musical performances is almost always the best part. We'll be shocked if the best song performances don't make a comeback at next year's ceremony. In the meantime, we're sharing our picks for the best musical performances at the Oscars. It's moments like these that illustrate why it's so important for the songs to get their due on Oscar night.

What will win, and what should win, at the Oscars this Sunday

Film critics make for notoriously spotty Oscar soothsayers. We sometimes prognosticate with our hearts instead of our heads. We’re often too close to a year in movies to guess what a bunch of industry professionals might decide are its highlights. That said, almost nobody is all that good at predicting the Oscars, even people whose job it is to predict the Oscars. There are huge surprises every year, and whatever system or Nate Silver-like science you apply to the matter, we’re talking about the voting habits of 10,000 strangers with their own unique logic for filling out a ballot. It’s all just grasping at straws.
Last year made it easier on everybody. This year, there’s no Oppenheimer pulling in statuettes like a giant magnet. The field is wider. The frontrunners are fewer. And some of the major races, like Best Actor, Best Actress, and even Best Picture, are basically coin tosses. It’s one of the most competitive award seasons in years – in part because many of the films that looked like frontrunners have endured cycles of backlash and controversy. That’s bad news for the bloggers, but good news for anyone hoping for a little excitement on Oscar night.
Ahead of this Sunday’s Academy Awards, we’re making an earnest attempt to call the winners in 20 categories — all but the shorts, where your guesses truly are as good as ours. Take the predictions below with a grain of salt, because they’re really just educated guesses — conclusions drawn from a combination of history, precursor awards, and gut feeling. As for the preferences, for what we merely hope wins, we’re on firmer ground there. If there’s one thing film critics are good at, it’s endlessly spouting opinions, unsolicited and with undue confidence.
