2025 Oscars: All the winners — live updates

The 2025 Oscars have arrived and for the first time in a long time the winners do not appear obvious.

Emilia Perez was a clear frontrunner with 13 nominations – only one behind the record for most nominations by a single film. But amid ongoing criticism of its subject matter, and the discovery of derogatory tweets from lead actress Karla Sofia Gascon, its chances are now slim to none.

Conclave and Anora have pushed forward as the frontrunners; Conclave won at SAG and BAFTA but Anora won at the DGA and PGA Awards.

Ralph Fiennes’ Conclave follows Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Fiennes) as he organizes the secret and ancient events of the conclave which elects the next pope.

Anora, by indie filmmaker Sean Baker, tells the Cinderella story of Anora, known as Annie (Mikey Madison), a stripper who meets and marries the son of a Russian oligarch.

In the acting categories, Best Actor is a toss up between Timothee Chalamet for A Complete Unknown and Adrien Brody for The Brutalist, although a win for Ralph would be a pleasant surprise, while Mikey’s win at BAFTA suggests Demi Moore’s win for The Substance isn’t a complete lock.

Zoe Saldana (Emilia Perez) and Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain), meanwhile, seem like they are on track for wins in the Supporting categories though, after sweeping the season – although anonymous voter stories have shown real support for Ariana Grande in Wicked.

This year’s ceremony will air live on ABC at 8/7c and 5pm PST, and for the first time ever live on the streaming platform Hulu.
