The 2025 Academy Awards, held on Sunday, saw a range of films and actors honored for their outstanding work. Anora, a film about a sex worker who falls in love with the son of a Russian billionaire, was the big winner of the night, taking home awards for Best Picture, Best Actress for Mikey Madison, Best Director, and several other categories. Madison's win was seen as a surprise, as she was considered an underdog in the Best Actress category. Other notable winners included Adrien Brody, who won Best Actor for his role in The Brutalist, and Zoe Saldaña, who won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Emilia Pérez. The ceremony also featured a range of memorable moments, including a performance by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who sang a medley of songs from the film Wicked. The Oscars were hosted by Conan O'Brien, who brought his signature humor and wit to the proceedings.
