Winners and nominees

[edit]

The nominees for the 97th Academy Awards were announced on January 23, 2025, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, by actress Rachel Sennott and actor Bowen Yang.[10] Emilia Pérez received the most Academy Award nominations for a non-English-language film, surpassing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Roma (2018) with 10 each.[11] For her performance in the film, Spanish actress Karla Sofía Gascón became the first openly transgender performer to be nominated in an acting category.[12] Emilia Pérez and I'm Still Here are also the 10th and 11th non-English language films to be nominated for both Best Picture and Best International Feature Film in the same year; this is the first time that two films have been nominated for both categories, with Emilia Pérez the first film nominated in both categories to lose both awards.[13][a][b]

Nominated for his performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, 29-year-old Timothée Chalamet became the youngest two-time Best Actor nominee since James Dean in 1957.[16][c][d] Yura Borisov became the first Oscar-nominated Russian actor since Mikhail Baryshnikov for The Turning Point in 1978.[18][19][20] For her direction on the body horror satire The Substance, Coralie Fargeat became the 9th woman to be nominated for Best Director.[21] I'm Still Here became the first Portuguese-language film to be nominated for Best Picture.[22] Flow became the second animated film to receive nominations for both Best Animated Feature and Best International Feature Film after Flee (2021).[23] It also became the first independent animated feature[24][25][26] to win the former category. Memoir of a Snail became the second R-rated animated film to be nominated for Best Animated Feature after Anomalisa (2015), another stop-motion animated film.[27][e]

Both Jacques Audiard (for Emilia Pérez) and Sean Baker (for Anora) received four nominations, becoming the 8th and 9th individuals to achieve this feat in a single year.[23][29][30][f] Furthermore, the Best Director nominees—Audiard, Baker, Brady Corbet (for The Brutalist), Fargeat, and James Mangold (for A Complete Unknown)—are all first-time nominees in the category; the latter three all receiving three nominations. The last time an entirely new lineup of nominees competed in the director race was in 1998.[13][g] For the first time since 1978, all the films featuring Best Actress nominees are also nominated for Best Picture.[13] Sound mixer Andy Nelson continued to be recognized as one of the Academy's most honored individuals, receiving a nomination for Wicked; with a total of 25 nominations, he is second only to John Williams (with 54) for the most nominations for a living person.[13]

Sean Baker's four wins tied with Walt Disney for most Oscars won by a person in the same year.[31] He is the only person to win four Oscars in the same night for the same film.[32][33] At age 25, Mikey Madison (for Anora) became the ninth-youngest performer to win Best Actress, as well as the second performer born in the 1990s to win that category, following Jennifer Lawrence.[34] Kieran Culkin (for A Real Pain) became the first actor since Christopher Plummer in 2012 to win Best Supporting Actor from a film that was not nominated for Best Picture.[35] With her win for Best Supporting Actress, Zoe Saldaña (for Emilia Pérez) is the first American of Dominican origin to win an Oscar.[36] Best Documentary Feature Film recipient No Other Land is the first Palestinian film to win an Academy Award,[37] with its co-director Basel Adra becoming the first Palestinian filmmaker to win an Oscar.[38] Paul Tazewell (for Wicked) is the first Black man, and the second Black costume designer overall, to win Best Costume Design.[39] With its win for Best International Feature Film, I'm Still Here became the first Brazilian film to win an Oscar.[40][41]

Ceremony information

[edit]

Conan O'Brien hosted the 97th Academy Awards.

In October 2024, the Academy hired television producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan, for the second year in a row, to oversee production of the 2025 ceremony with veteran television director Hamish Hamilton selected to direct the telecast, also for the second consecutive year and his fifth time overall.[47] "We are delighted to announce the return of our incredibly dynamic and creative Oscars team, Raj, Katy, Hamish, Misty, Alana and Dave. And we are thrilled to announce the addition of the brilliant Michael Bearden," said AMPAS CEO Bill Kramer and AMPAS President Janet Yang in a press release justifying their selection of the producers. "Their love for cinema, their collective creative vision, and their unparalleled expertise in live television make them the perfect team to create an exceptional show for our global audience on the film industry's biggest night."[47] In response, Kapoor and Mullan released a statement, stating: "We are thrilled to lead the brilliant Oscars production team again and work alongside the Academy and Disney/ABC to help create an unforgettable night of television for movie lovers worldwide. We hope to continue to inspire and connect new generations to share our love for the art of filmmaking and celebrate all the incredible artists who are Oscar-nominated this year."[47]

The following month, comedian, former talk show host and podcaster Conan O'Brien was announced as host of the event.[6] Before this decision, speculation and word from reliable sources indicated the Academy was leaning toward a format with multiple hosts sharing duties throughout the show; this was floated after both Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted four times (in 2017, 2018, 2023, and 2024), and John Mulaney, who had hosted the 14th Governors Awards to much praise, both reportedly turned down the opportunity. A combo of Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were also among those buzzed to be in the mix, but Reynolds told Deadline Hollywood that it was highly unlikely though he said he would like to host it with Jackman "someday".[6][48][49] As for the production team, returning to the telecast are Rob Paine as co-executive producer, Taryn Hurd and Sarah Levine Hall as producers, Mandy Moore as supervising choreographer, and Bob Dickinson and Noah Mitz as lighting designers; producers Jeff Ross and Mike Sweeney, long-time collaborators of O'Brien, join the team for the first time. Collaborating with O'Brien as writers are Amberia Allen, José Arroyo, Josh Comers, Dan Cronin, Jessie Gaskell, Skyler Higley, Berkley Johnson, Ian Karmel, Brian Kiley, Laurie Kilmartin, Carol Leifer, Jon Macks, Matt O'Brien, Agathe Panaretos, and Sweeney.[50]

In February 2025, the Academy announced that the telecast would not include past acting winners presenting the nominees for the acting categories.[51] This format, dubbed as the "Fab 5", first used in 2009 and featuring five previous winners praising one acting nominee each, was brought back in 2024 after a fifteen-year absence.[52] Instead, it will be used in categories to highlight below-the-line talent, with notable Oscar winners speaking out about the contributions of people behind the scenes. For the acting categories, the format has not yet been announced, though the previous ceremony's acting winners were confirmed as presenters; all four will most likely speak generally and then name the nominees for a category.[51][52][53]

For the third year in a row, the ceremony featured a special tribute to the James Bond franchise, in this case to honor longtime franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson following being honored with the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for "their contribution to the industry's theatrical landscape".[54] The artists Doja Cat, Lisa, and Raye teamed up to perform "Live and Let Die", "Diamonds Are Forever", and "Skyfall" (respectively), with Halle Berry introducing the tribute and Margaret Qualley dancing to the Bond theme.[55][56]

For the second year in a row, Amelia Dimoldenberg returned as the social media ambassador and red carpet correspondent.[57] The ceremony, for the first time, was streamed live on Hulu and internationally on Disney+.[4][58][59] The Hulu stream was notably met with technical issues, crashing multiple times throughout the ceremony, and prematurely ending the stream just before the Best Actress nominees were announced.[60][61] A half-hour season premiere of the next season of American Idol aired immediately following ABC's telecast.[62]

During the ceremony, Adrien Brody, who won Best Actor for The Brutalist, delivered the longest acceptance speech in Oscars history. He spoke for 5 minutes and 40 seconds; 10 seconds longer than Greer Garson's Best Actress speech for Mrs. Miniver (1942).[63]

Impact of Los Angeles wildfires

[edit]

Voting for the nearly 10,000 Academy members opened on January 8, 2025, and was originally set to close on January 12, but due to the Southern California wildfires, the deadline for Oscar nomination voting was extended to January 17. The nominations announcement, originally scheduled to be announced on January 17, was delayed to January 23.[64][65][66]

Changes to the ceremony itself would also occur in the wake of the wildfires, with the Academy choosing to honor the Los Angeles community and its role in the film industry. As part of this shift, it was announced that the five musical pieces nominated for Best Original Song would not be performed live, and instead the songwriters will be highlighted through personal reflections and behind-the-scenes insight from the creative teams behind the music.[67] In response, the Society of Composers & Lyricists urged the Academy to walk back its decision. A letter was sent to the Academy's CEO, president and board of governors, as well as to the producers of the telecast; the Academy declined to comment.[68] During a virtual panel discussion for the Songwriters Hall of Fame in which all the songwriter nominees were in attendance, Diane Warren (nominated for "The Journey" from The Six Triple Eight) deemed the decision "extremely disrespectful". She added: "We've all written songs that are really integral to the movies they're in. And to me, it's unfair to both the nominees and the audience out there to not be able to hear them."[69]

In January 2025, addressing how the wildfires would affect preparation of the ceremony and his position as host, O'Brien told The Hollywood Reporter: "It's not the easiest assignment I've ever had, but I'm embracing it. And it's not about me, obviously. This is a moment for all of us to step back and say, 'Be humble.' Just be humble and say, 'This is a massive moment. This is a terrible thing that's happened in Los Angeles' ... The strategy is my writers and I, and the team that I'm working with at the Oscars, who are fantastic, the producers, everyone, we've got all of our sensors out."[70] That same month, O'Brien further expanded on his process amid the tragedies, speaking with ABC News on Good Morning America, stating: "There's a lot that's happening nationally that people are very tense about and it changes day to day. And so my job right now with my writers is to create possibilities ... That's what we're doing. We're working hard to create possibilities."[71]


In Memoriam

[edit]

Montage

[edit]

In introducing the "In Memoriam" montage, Morgan Freeman also gave an individual spoken tribute to Gene Hackman.[72] The montage, which featured the Los Angeles Master Chorale performing "Lacrimosa" from Mozart's Requiem, paid tribute to the following individuals:[73]

The segment faced criticism for omitting several significant personalities, notably Jim Abrahams, Alain Delon, Bernard Hill, Michelle Trachtenberg (who had died the week prior), Tony Todd, Olivia Hussey, Linda Lavin, Martin Mull, Mitzi Gaynor, Shannen Doherty, Silvia Pinal, Sérgio Mendes and Carlos Diegues.[74][75][76][77][78]

Quincy Jones tribute

[edit]

Several presentations after the montage, and prior to the last four awards presented,[79] an individual tribute to Quincy Jones was presented by Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey.[72] During it, Queen Latifah performing "Ease on Down the Road" from The Wiz (the second Wiz song performed at the ceremony), which Jones had composed.[80][79]
