The 2025 Academy Awards took place on Sunday as members involved in film production came together to celebrate all of their accomplishments from the last year.
As producers, directors, and actors walked the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles they prepared to watch Conan O’Brien take over the hosting duties from Oscars stalwart Jimmy Kimmel.
Nominations were announced in January, with Netflix’s divisive musical Emilia Pérez leading the pack with 13 nominations, setting a record for a non-English-language film. Meanwhile, The Brutalist and Wicked tied with 10 nominations apiece. A Complete Unknown and Conclave followed with eight mentions each.
