The Oscars 2023 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive ceremonies in recent memory. Hopefully, this year will shine more of a spotlight on the nominees and winners of each category, rather than the drama going on both on and off the stage. Ahead of the event, the usual Oscars buzz is picking up, but who will be nominated and who will win in 2023? Here are our predictions.
Oscars 2023 winners predictions
- Best Picture: Everything Everywhere All at Once
- Best Actor: Brendan Fraser in The Whale
- Best Actress: Cate Blanchett in TÁR
- Best Director: Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert for Everything Everywhere All at Once
- Best Original Screenplay: Tony Kushner and Steven Spielberg for The Fabelmans
- Best Supporting Actor: Brendan Gleeson in The Banshees of Inisherin
- Best Supporting Actress: Carey Mulligan in She Said
Making winners predictions for the Oscars 2023 is no easy task. There are so many ways each of the categories could go, but when all is said and done, the totally unique Everything Everywhere All at Once should be able to clinch Best Picture. The hype surrounding Brendan Fraser’s turn in The Whale makes him an almost dead-cert for Best Actor, but he could face some fierce competition from Austin Butler, who played the King of Rock in Elvis. Viola Davis winning Best Actress so soon after her 2021 victory would be a nice touch, but it’s looking likely she will be pipped to the post by Cate Blanchett.

It really feels as though the field is wide open for the Oscars 2023. When it comes to Best Picture, there has been such an incredible wealth of stunning cinematography making its way to the big screen, and with that of course comes some fantastic performances from both actors and actresses. Behind the camera, the story is the same. For 2023, the predictions for nominations are almost as hard to make as the guesses for who will win big on the night.
