2025 Oscar Awards LIVE: Here are the Winners from the 97th Academy Awards
The Night of Nights: Unraveling the Mystique of the 97th Academy Awards
The curtains have finally opened, and the stage is set for the 97th Academy Awards. This year’s Oscars is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable and thrilling editions in recent history. The much-anticipated event promises a night of glamour, suspense, and surprises, as the crème de la crème of Hollywood’s talent compete for the most coveted honors in the industry. In this article, we’ll take you through the top contenders, the surprises, and the must-know facts leading up to the big night.
The Nominees: A Look at the Contenders
The 2025 Academy Awards has 10 best picture nominees, each with its unique storyline, direction, and performances. Among the top contenders are indie upstarts like Anora and the weighty, European Conclave, both of which have defied easy forecasting. Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning street-level character study has racked up key guild wins, while Edward Berger’s Vatican-set drama has leaned on BAFTA momentum and a SAG Ensemble victory. Other dark horse contenders, like Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist and James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, could quietly upend the whole thing.
The Predictions: Who Will Win and Who Should Win?
In an unpredictable year, history is already being made, whether the Academy likes it or not. Emilia Pérez, the non-English language film with a staggering 13 nominations, has entered the night with the most ever for a non-English language film. However, its awards-season trajectory has been almost entirely derailed by off-screen controversies. For Best Actor, Demi Moore’s late-career reinvention in The Substance faces off against Mikey Madison’s breakout in Anora — a classic Oscar dilemma between rewarding longevity or anointing the future.
The Hosting Moment: Conan O’Brien Takes Center Stage
Presiding over the chaos is Conan O’Brien, the late-night veteran making his Oscars hosting debut. Whether his humor cuts through the evening’s usual bloat or gets swallowed by it remains to be seen. The Oscars 2025 is scheduled to be aired live on Star Movies and JioHotstar on Monday, March 3, at 5:30 AM IST.
