The 97th Academy Awards which is commonly known as the Oscars, took place on March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. This annual event is organised by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) and it honours outstanding achievements in the film industry from the previous year. The ceremony celebrates excellence across various categories, including acting, directing, writing, and technical disciplines.

The nominations for the 2025 Oscars were announced on January 23, 2025, by actors Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. 

This year's lineup showcased a diverse array of films and performances, reflecting the global nature of cinema today. Notably, "Emilia Pérez" received 13 nominations, setting a record for the most nominations for a non-English-language film. This milestone highlights the increasing recognition of international cinema by the Academy.

The ceremony was hosted by Conan O'Brien, marking his inaugural appearance as the Oscars' host. The event featured performances by renowned artists such as Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Queen Latifah, Doja Cat, Lisa of Blackpink, and RAYE, adding musical flair to the proceedings. Presenters included previous Oscar winners and notable figures like Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson, and Oprah Winfrey, underscoring the event's star-studded appeal.

 

The 2025 Oscars not only honored cinematic excellence but also reflected significant milestones in the industry. The inclusion of a record-breaking number of nominations for non-English-language films signifies a broader appreciation for diverse storytelling. Additionally, the recognition of performances and productions from various cultural backgrounds highlights the Academy's ongoing efforts toward inclusivity.

As the film industry continues to evolve, the Oscars remain a prestigious platform that acknowledges and celebrates the art of cinema in all its forms.
