‘Anora’ scooped up five awards, including best picture. The acting nods went to Adrien Brody, Mikey Madison, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña.
Anora was named best picture at the 2025 Oscars, which were handed out Sunday night.
Anora was the top winner of the night, earning a total of five awards. Star Mikey Madison was named best actress, while Sean Baker won a record-breaking four awards for his film: best director, best original screenplay and best film editing (in addition to best picture).
In the other acting categories, Adrien Brody was named best actor for The Brutalist, Kieran Culkin won the Oscar for best supporting actor, for his role in A Real Pain. Zoe Saldaña was named best supporting actress for her performance in Emilia Pérez, noting that she is the “first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award.”
Meanwhile, Flow won the award for best animated feature, marking the first-ever win for Latvia. No Other Land was named best documentary feature. I’m Still Here was named best international feature film, marking Brazil’s first Oscar win.
Peter Straughan won the award for best adapted screenplay for Conclave.
Paul Tazewell became the first Black man to win the Oscar for best costume design, for his work on Wicked. The musical movie also won best production design.
Other films that won multiple awards were The Brutalist, which earned best cinematography and best original score in addition to best actor; Dune: Part Two, winning best sound and best visual effects; and Emilia Pérez, which also landed the best original song Oscar for “El Mal.” Best makeup and hairstyling went to The Substance. (See all the snubs and surprises.)
The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O’Brien, aired live coast-to-coast from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on ABC and Hulu (which glitched as the show was starting and cut off before the show ended). Winners were announced in 23 categories. (See the star-studded red carpet arrivals.) The show also paid tribute to the heroes and victims of the recent Los Angeles wildfires.
The show opened with a performance by Wicked’s Oscar-nominated stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. In addition, Doja Cat, Lisa of Blackpink and Raye took part in a tribute to the music of the James Bond films. Queen Latifah, Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey led a tribute to the late Quincy Jones while Morgan Freeman honored his “dear friend” Gene Hackman, who died last month, as part of the In Memoriam segment. The show also featured a special appearance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale.
