The 2025 Oscars are just around the corner, bringing together stars, fans, and fashion enthusiasts for an unforgettable evening at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. With the Spanish-language musical *Emilia Pérez* leading the nominations with 13 nods, including Best Picture and Best Actress, the competition is fierce. Amidst controversies and powerful performances, this year's ceremony promises a blend of emotion and entertainment.
Hosts Conan O'Brien will take charge at 16:00 PT (19:00 ET, midnight GMT) on Sunday, March 3. The highlight categories feature tough competition; Timothée Chalamet's portrayal of Bob Dylan in *A Complete Unknown* faces off against frontrunner Adrien Brody from *The Brutalist*, while the best supporting actress category seems to be Zoe Saldaña's to lose for her role in *Emilia Pérez*.
This year's Oscars also highlight progress in diversity, featuring nominees of color in lead categories. However, the film industry still grapples with slow change, evidenced by the lack of female directors nominated. As the show aims to balance celebration with a recognition of the LA wildfires' devastating impact, performances are set to include a special medley by *Wicked* stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
Viewers can enjoy the live broadcast on ABC in the U.S. and ITV in the UK, with streaming options through Hulu. Get ready for a night of glitz and the unveiling of the most exceptional films and performances of the year!
