Next year’s Oscars might feature some of the biggest names in music competing in the Best Supporting Actress category. The 97th Academy Awards, set for March 2, 2025, are already sparking predictions about which Hollywood starlet will win the prestigious award. Interestingly, it could turn into a showdown between pop icons, with Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and Ariana Grande all reportedly vying for the same nomination.

According to Variety’s Awards Circuit Predictions, all three pop divas have a strong chance of securing a Best Supporting Actress nod, which means they will likely be campaigning hard in the lead-up to award season.

Selena Gomez is in the spotlight for her role as Jessi Del Monte, a wife and mother, in Netflix’s musical drama Emilia Pérez.

Meanwhile, Poker Face hitmaker Lady Gaga, 38 — who previously won an Oscar for her 2023 hit Hold My Hand — could be up for the award for her role as Lee, a version of Harley Quinn, in Warner Brother’s upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux.

She stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix who will act as Joker, Zazzie Beetz, Harry Lawtey, Jacob Lofland and Brendan Gleeson.

Joker: Folie à Deux will hit theatres on October 4.

And Ariana Grande is predicted to be up for the sought after nomination for her role as Glinda in Universal Pictures’ upcoming musical film, Wicked.

The Dangerous Woman songstress, 31, shifted gears from her belting popstar persona to a Broadway-opera style of singing for the hotly anticipated project.

In the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, she stars alongside her boyfriend Ethan Slater, Cynthia Erivio, Jonathan Bailey and Peter Dinklage.

The musical-fantasy is directed by celebrity filmmaker Jon M. Chu and is a prequel to 1939’s The Wizard of Oz. It explores the Wicked Witch of the West’s (Erivo) close-knit relationship with Glinda the Good Witch (Grande) before Dorothy dropped in.
