Oscar Predictions: Best International Feature — Can Anything Beat ‘Emilia Pérez?’
2025 Oscars best international feature predictions include "Emilia Perez," "The Seed of the Sacred Fig," "I'm Still Here," "Kneecap" and "Flow."
In 2023, they chose “The Taste of Things” over the Palme d’Or-winning “Anatomy of a Fall,” while in 2021, the controversial “Titane” was picked over “Happening.” With streaming giant Netflix supporting “Emilia Perez” and the film currently building buzz across multiple categories — including best picture — this could be the year France ends its over 30-year Oscar drought. Rather than choosing Payal Kapadia’s Cannes runner-up “All We Imagine as Light,” the country opted for “Laapataa Ladies.” This decision feels reminiscent of the “RRR” snub in 2022, where another internationally acclaimed Indian film was overlooked due to politics and languages.
