This year’s Oscar nominees include Demi Moore (’The Substance’), Timothée Chalamet (’A Complete Unknown’), Kieran Culkin (’A Real Pain’) and Ariana Grande (’Wicked’)
The 2025 Oscars, hosted by Conan O'Brien, saw Mikey Madison win Best Actress over Demi Moore, while Sean Baker's film *Anora* claimed five awards, including Best Picture. The ceremony included Morgan Freeman's tribute to Gene Hackman, whose death is under investigation. Controversies arose over the memoriam segment's music and Michelle Trachtenberg's omission, as well as criticism for the ceremony's focus on James Bond over David Lynch. Jeremy Strong's reaction to losing Best Supporting Actor to Kieran Culkin sparked sympathy. Colman Domingo drew attention by walking the red carpet with his husband.
