Hollywood’s biggest night has drawn its curtain, and the 97th Academy Awards delivered a spectacle worthy of the silver screen. From long-overdue first-time winners to electrifying performances, the 2025 Oscars had it all—glamour, surprises, and history in the making.
Hosted by the ever-witty Conan O’Brien at the iconic Dolby Theatre, this year’s ceremony saw Anora emerge as the undisputed champion of the night. Writer-director-editor Sean Baker didn’t just claim victory—he made history, tying Walt Disney’s long-standing record for the most Oscars won in a single evening.
Meanwhile, Adrien Brody’s gripping turn in The Brutalist secured him the Best Actor trophy, while Mikey Madison’s fearless performance in Anora earned her a career-defining Best Actress win. The night also shined a long-overdue spotlight on Zoë Saldaña, who finally took home her first Oscar for Emilia Pérez, and Kieran Culkin, whose nuanced work in A Real Pain landed him Best Supporting Actor.
The ceremony, which aired live on ABC and streamed for the first time on Hulu, wasn’t just about the accolades—it also paid tribute to the resilience of Los Angeles following the devastating Southern California wildfires. With a Wicked medley, a James Bond tribute, and a heartfelt salute to Quincy Jones, the 97th Academy Awards ceremony balanced spectacle with sentiment in equal measure.
