Awards Season 2025

Who’s gonna win? Who’s gonna lose? We’ve got the Oscar fever, hope you’ve got it too!

With both the Academy Awards and BAFTA Film Awards upon us, we are showing some of our favourites from the runners and the riders of this year’s ‘Awards Season’. From Best Picture nominees such as The Brutalist and Conclave, to the hot picks in the acting categories such as A Complete Unknown (Timmy!) and The Substance (Demi!). And from those up for a Best Screenplay gong including Anora and A Real Pain, to real-life drama with Best Documentary nominee No Other Land.

See the ones you have missed which are now getting all the buzz, or re-watch them on the big screen before they win the top prize (or find themselves on the wrong side of a snub!).

Use the film links underneath for full listings to book your tickets online.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
