“Anora” won big at the 2025 Oscars Sunday night, taking home five awards, including best picture and best director, at the 97th Academy Awards.
“Emilia Pérez” had the most nominations this year with 13, including nods for best picture, best director, best writing and multiple acting nominations. Karla Sofía Gascón made Oscar history when she became the first transgender woman to be nominated in any acting category when she received a best actress nomination for playing the film’s title role. Her Oscar campaign, however, was marred by controversy after offensive posts she made on social media surfaced. The award for best actress ultimately went to Mikey Madison, who played the title role in “Anora.”
Zoe Saldaña — who became the first American of Dominican descent to win an Oscar — won best supporting actress, one of just two wins for “Emilia Pérez” on Sunday night.
“Wicked,” based on the hit Broadway musical, and “The Brutalist” both came into the night with 10 nominations each, and were also competing for best picture, best director and a slew of acting nominations.
Adrian Brody won his second best actor Oscar for his role as architect László Tóth in “The Brutalist.” When Brody won his first Oscar for 2002’s “The Pianist” at age 29, he became the youngest person to win the award. Timothée Chalamet was also nominated for best actor for his performance as the iconic folk singer Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown,” and had been hoping to break Brody’s record. Also nominated in the category were Ralph Fiennes, who starred in “Conclave,” Colman Domingo, and Sebastian Stan, who could have become the first person to ever win best actor for playing the sitting U.S. president had he gone home with the award.
Former “Late Night” and “The Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien helmed this year’s ceremony. A two-time host of the Emmys, this was O’Brien’s first time as master of ceremonies for the Academy Awards.
