Oscars 2025 – How to Watch, Who’s Nominated, and What to Expect on Hollywood’s Biggest Night
Alright, movie lovers, the biggest night in Hollywood is finally here – the 97th Academy Awards! The Oscars 2025 are set to dazzle audiences worldwide, and this year's race is tighter than ever. From record-breaking nominations to unexpected controversies, there's plenty to talk about. So, let's dive in!
First off, let’s talk about the frontrunners. The Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez is leading the pack with 13 nominations, making it the most-nominated non-English language film in history. But the film has been caught up in controversy after past social media posts from its lead, Karla Sofía Gascón, resurfaced. Despite this, it's still a strong contender, especially in categories like Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña.

Hot on its heels with 10 nominations each are The Brutalist and Wicked . Adrien Brody is the man to beat for Best Actor with his role in The Brutalist , but Timothée Chalamet is making waves with his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown . Chalamet’s surprise win at the SAG Awards shook up the race, and if he wins tonight, he’ll become the youngest-ever recipient of the Best Actor award. Meanwhile, in the Best Actress category, Demi Moore’s first-ever nomination for The Substance is up against rising star Mikey Madison, who’s already stunned the industry with her Bafta win for Anora .
Hosting this year’s event is the one and only Conan O'Brien, bringing his signature wit to the stage. Expect plenty of laughs, and yes, a few jabs at Hollywood itself. The show kicks off live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles at 4 PM PT (7 PM ET / midnight GMT). In the U.S., you can catch it on ABC or stream it on Hulu, while UK viewers can tune in via ITV.
Of course, an Oscars night wouldn’t be complete without musical performances. Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will take the stage for a show-stopping medley, and Doja Cat, Lisa from BLACKPINK, and Queen Latifah are also set to perform. Social media will be buzzing, especially if we get another viral moment like last year’s I’m Just Ken performance by Ryan Gosling.
But there’s a somber note to this year’s ceremony. The event takes place against the backdrop of devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles, even delaying nominations earlier this year. Organizers have promised to acknowledge the tragedy and highlight ways to support those affected.
And let’s not forget about the British stars making waves this year! Cynthia Erivo could make history as the first Black British woman to win Best Actress, while Ralph Fiennes earns his first Oscar nomination in nearly three decades for Conclave . Plus, Wallace & Gromit are back in the running for Best Animated Feature—because honestly, who doesn’t love them?
With no clear Best Picture winner, the night is bound to be unpredictable. Will Emilia Pérez defy the odds? Will Anora continue its winning streak from the Critics’ Choice and Guild Awards? And can Chalamet snatch the Best Actor title from Brody?
We’ll find out soon enough. Get your popcorn ready—it’s Oscars night! 🎬✨
