After a lengthy Hollywood award season, the biggest night in film has finally arrived for 2025 – the 97th Academy Awards.
Returning to Ovation Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, the ceremony on March 2, the ceremony will honour many of the previous year’s standout cinematic achievements. With the race for the Best Actor and Best Actress Oscar tighter than ever, this year’s ceremony is bound to be one of the most anticipated yet.
Leading the tally for total nominations is Emilia Pérez, whose total of 13 Oscar nods falls just one shy of the record for most nominations for a single film – currently held by La La Land and Titanic.
The global box office hit Wicked and cinematic epic The Brutalist are closely behind in the nominations standings, with each receiving 10 nominations.
In the race for Best Actor, all eyes are on Timothée Chalamet, whose performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown could soon make him the youngest-ever Academy Award winner in the category.
As the stars take to the stage, scroll down to see the full list of nominees and winners at the 2025 Academy Awards.
