The 97th Academy Awards for 2025 have commenced, with Conan O'Brien hosting. He aims to deliver a mix of humor and efficiency as he guides the audience through the various award categories, celebrating almost all aspects of filmmaking (with the exception of stunt work).
This year's awards season has highlighted a diverse range of films, including the dramedy about a sex worker, Anora, a Vatican-based thriller, Conclave, a biopic centered on folk music, A Complete Unknown, a post-war epic, The Brutalist, and the unconventional horror comedy, The Substance, amongst many others. While these films have garnered recognition at other award shows, the focus tonight is on who will receive an Oscar.
Mashable is providing live updates of the Oscar winners during the ceremony on Sunday, March 2, 2025, starting at 7:00 p.m. EST. Readers can also follow along on social media for additional content and interactive elements.
