The Best Director race for the Oscars 2025 includes some notable directors who have yet to win in the category, as well as some previous winners hoping to pull an upset. The 2025 awards season has a very different group of contenders for Best Director compared to 2024. While Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan were the clear top two choices to win, this new year is a more wide-open competition. There are big-time directors in the mix thanks to massive sequels, but a crop of rising filmmakers in Hollywood are also looking to break through with the Academy.
