2025 Oscar Winners:
A lucky group of filmmakers and performers have gone home with Oscar gold at the 97th Academy Awards, with Anora, the dramatic comedy directed by Sean Baker, emerging as the night’s biggest winner. The film secured an impressive five awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for star Mikey Madison.
Hosted by Conan O’Brien for the first time, the star-studded ceremony marked the end of an awards season overshadowed by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that swept through the city in January, affecting many in the entertainment industry. However, the show went on, paying tribute to the resilient spirit of the region.
The ceremony kicked off with a powerful tribute to the city of Los Angeles, featuring a special package of film clips, before wrapping up with a heartwarming performance of “We Love LA” by Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, leaving the audience in awe.
While the ongoing recovery from the wildfires impacted the event in several ways—such as the cancellation of the annual nominees luncheon and adjusted nomination deadlines—the Oscars ceremony was a testament to the industry’s resilience and dedication.
