This week on Rise of the Gay Cinephiles, it's our Academy Awards 2025 special and we're discussing Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune Part Two, Emilia Pérez, I'm Still Here, Nickel Boys, The Substance and Wicked.

You can expect discussions on what won, what we think should've won and films that we think should have been nominated as well as bits of general gossip about the ceremony itself. 

You can find us on Instagram and Threads over at @gaycinephilesrise and on Twitter over at @gaycinesrise.
