It’s been a long awards season, but the 2025 Oscars have finally arrived. Comedian Conan O’Brien will host the 97th Academy Awards inside the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. The top actors, actresses, filmmakers, and creatives will be on hand for the prestigious awards show. 23 categories honor the best films of 2024.
It’s been a wide-open race for Best Picture, but Anora has charged to the front thanks to wins at the PGA, DGA, WGA, and Critics Choice. If any movie can beat Anora, it’s Conclave, which won at BAFTA and the SAG Awards. Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña are heavy favorites in the supporting categories. However, the races for Best Actor — Adrien Brody versus Timothée Chalamet — and Best Actress — Mikey Madison versus Demi Moore — remain a toss-up.
