Catch all the action as the stars hit the red carpet at the 2025 Oscars. Among the distinguished nominees for the 97th Academy Awards are Timothée Chalamet, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Mikey Madison. The evening is set to be hosted by Conan O’Brien, promising entertainment and suspense.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The climax of one of the most unpredictable Oscar seasons in recent memory is just around the corner.
This Sunday, the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood will be the hotspot for the 97th Academy Awards, an event that promises to crown a few first-time Oscar recipients in major categories. The ceremony starts a bit earlier this year, aiming to announce the best picture winner before viewers call it a night.
The best picture contest has been particularly intense, with films like “Anora” and “Conclave” capturing significant accolades at recent awards shows. “Emilia Pérez,” the most nominated film this year, has seen its Oscar prospects challenged by a controversy involving racist tweets from its star, Karla Sofía Gascón. The outcome for this contentious Netflix narco-musical will be revealed as the envelopes are opened on Sunday.
