The Oscars ceremony took place in Los Angeles, crowning ‘Anora’ as the standout winner of the night with five prestigious awards. However, other films like ‘Wicked’ and ‘The Brutalist’ also made a significant impact. Below, we highlight all the victorious films from the 97th Academy Awards!
Winners of the 97th Academy Awards
Best Picture: Anora
With accolades from the Cannes Film Festival, Producers Guild Awards (PGA), Writers Guild Awards (WGA), Directors Guild Awards (DGA), and Critics’ Choice Awards, it’s no surprise that ‘Anora’ clinched the Best Picture award at the Oscars.
Best Director: Sean Baker (Anora)
Sean Baker received the Best Director award for ‘Anora’. His prior victory at the DGA Awards placed him in a strong position, as historically, DGA winners have won the directing Oscar 88% of the time over the past 96 years.
Best Actor: Adrien Brody (The Brutalist)
Adrien Brody had an impressive awards season, bagging the Best Actor award at the Golden Globes, BAFTA Awards, and Critics’ Choice Awards. The only loss came at the Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG), where Timothée Chalamet emerged as a formidable contender for his role in ‘Like A Complete Unknown’.
This marks Brody’s second Oscar win, previously taking home the award for ‘The Pianist’ in 2002 at the young age of 29, making him the youngest recipient in that category. Had Chalamet won, he would have not only surpassed Brody in their direct competition but also potentially broken his record. At 29, Chalamet would have been just slightly younger than Brody was during his win.
Best Actress: Mikey Madison (Anora)
Despite over 40 years in the industry, Demi Moore has never won an Oscar, and that streak continues! Although she triumphed at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Critics’ Choice Awards for her role in ‘The Substance’, it was Mikey Madison who took the Oscar for Best Actress in ‘Anora’.
Best Supporting Actor: Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain)
The outcome for the Best Supporting Actor category at the 2025 Oscars was relatively predictable, with Kieran Culkin dominating the awards circuit. He secured the title at the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards, BAFTAs, SAG Awards, and now, the Oscars!
Best Supporting Actress: Zoe Saldana (Emilia Pérez)
In the Best Supporting Actress category, Zoe Saldana was the anticipated winner, having already won the award for her role in ‘Emilia Pérez’ at the BAFTA Awards, Critics’ Choice Awards, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards. Now, she can proudly display the Oscar alongside her other accolades!
With the 2025 Oscars concluded, ‘Anora’ emerged as the night’s big winner with five golden statues. However, the event also had its surprising moments, such as Hollywood icon Demi Moore, who was favored for ‘Best Actress’, leaving empty-handed.
