Oscars 2025 Highlights: Key Moments and Winners
‘Anora’ and ‘Emilia Pérez’ Start Strong
The 2025 Oscars kicked off with Anora and Emilia Pérez taking home early awards. Anora, a frontrunner for Best Picture, is already living up to the hype. Meanwhile, Emilia Pérez, the most-nominated film of the night with 13 nods, is making waves despite controversy surrounding its star, Karla Sofía Gascón.
Gascón, nominated for Best Actress, made her first major appearance of awards season at the Oscars. Her co-star, Zoe Saldaña, is a strong contender for Best Supporting Actress.
Other films with multiple nominations include The Brutalist and Wicked, each with 10 nods.
Conan O’Brien Keeps the Laughs Coming
Host Conan O’Brien brought his signature humor to the Dolby Theatre, keeping the audience entertained with his quick wit. From poking fun at Hollywood’s biggest stars to setting up hilarious moments with L.A. firefighters, O’Brien proved why he’s one of the most beloved hosts in Oscars history.
Morgan Freeman Honors Gene Hackman
In one of the night’s most emotional moments, Morgan Freeman paid tribute to his late friend and co-star, Gene Hackman. Hackman, who passed away just days before the ceremony, was remembered as a legendary actor and a kind-hearted individual.
“Gene always said, ‘I don’t think about legacy. I just hope people remember me as someone who tried to do good work,’” Freeman shared. “Gene, you’ll be remembered for that and so much more.”
L.A. Firefighters Steal the Show
The Los Angeles wildfires delayed the Oscars nominations twice this year, but the Academy honored the bravery of L.A. firefighters during the ceremony. The first responders received a standing ovation and even took the mic to deliver a few jokes.
“There are some jokes even I’m not brave enough to tell,” O’Brien quipped before handing the mic to the firefighters. Their lighthearted jabs at Hollywood’s biggest stars had the audience in stitches.
