Whether you saw red over the Emilia Pérez scandal or basked in the Elphaba-hued green delight of Wicked, all elements of the 2025 awards season will culminate Sunday night in Oscars gold, as the 97th Academy Awards winners will be announced live at a ceremony hosted (for the first time) by Conan O’Brien.
Months of Hollywood jockeying and campaigning has led to the main event, which will finally put an end to one of the twistiest seasons in recent memory, with Demi Moore (The Substance) and Mikey Madison (Anora) neck-and-neck in the hunt for Best Actress after winning an almost equal amount of significant precursors along the way, and Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown) challenging Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) for a shot at winning Best Actor.
Things are far more assured on the supporting side, with Emilia Pérez star Zoe Saldaña and A Real Pain‘s Kieran Culkin widely expected to complete clean sweeps of their season at the Oscars.
Another exciting race that will come to an end as Oscars winners are announced is Diane Warren‘s 16th Best Original Song contest, which stands to become the first to conclude her near-record-breaking losing streak if she can pull off a victory for her Six Triple Eight song “The Journey” — and odds have increased since the Emilia Pérez controversy made previously presumed frontrunner “El Mal” a vulnerable contender.
