Speculation is mounting about the 2025 Oscar nominees, and it seems Denzel Washington could break his shared record with Mahershala Ali for most Oscars won by a Black actor.
Speculation about the potential Oscar nominees for the 2025 ceremony has begun, and it might break Denzel Washington and Mahershala Ali’s shared Oscars record. 2024 has seen a wide variety of successful movies that have won over critics and general audiences for different reasons.
2024 has also seen some strong and memorable performances from many well-known actors and a couple of surprises, so there’s some interesting competition regarding Oscar nominees for next year, so much so that some records could be broken. Over 90 years, the Oscars have awarded the best in the film industry every year, though what’s the “best” is often divisive and controversial. The Academy Awards have also made history on various occasions and for good and bad reasons – from historic wins to infamous moments like Will Smith’s slap. Falling into the first category are Denzel Washington and Mahershala Ali, who share a big Oscars record, but it could be broken in 2025 thanks to one of them starring in one of 2024’s biggest movies. Denzel Washington & Mahershala Ali Are The Only Black Actors With Multiple Oscar Wins Both Have Two Oscars To Their Names. The first Black actor to be nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Actor in a Leading Role was Sidney Poitier, in 1958, for the drama The Defiant Ones. Poitier was also the first Black man to win in this category, in 1963 with the comedy-drama Lilies of the Field. The next Black actor to win an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role was Denzel Washington in 2001 for Training Day, but this was Washington’s second Oscar. Washington first won in 1989 in the category of Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in Glory. Denzel Washington and Halle Berry made Oscar history in 2001 by winning in their respective Lead Actor categories. Berry is the first (and only, at the time of writing) Black actress to win the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role
