Oscars 2025: ‘Anora’ dominates with 5 Academy Awards, Adrien Brody wins Best Actor for 2nd time and a full list of winners

The 2025 Academy Awards concluded Sunday with Anora capturing five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director (Sean Baker) and Best Actress (Mikey Madison), in a star-studded ceremony hosted by Conan O’Brien on Hollywood’s biggest night.

Adrien Brody won his second Best Actor award, for The Brutalist, while Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) and Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez) took home Oscars for supporting roles.

Morgan Freeman paid tribute to Gene Hackman, who was found dead last week along with his wife and dog in their New Mexico home. And Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg and Queen Latifah honored Quincy Jones, who died in November.

Wicked co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo opened the show with a powerful medley of songs: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (Wizard of Oz), “Home” (The Wiz) and their film’s “Defying Gravity.”

The show recognized firefighters who battled the deadly Los Angeles wildfires that led to the nominations being postponed twice in January.

After the ceremony concluded, the stars headed out to let loose at fabulous bashes. The official afterparty was the Governors Ball, where guests were served Oscars-inspired treats from a menu created by chef Wolfgang Puck. The Vanity Fair and Elton John parties were the two other major places to be.

But first: Many of the VIPs made outfit changes, from awards show attire to party dresses.

For a quick recap of the ceremony — the winners, the fashion, the viral moments and more — see our coverage below.

Anora took home the biggest honor of the night, the Oscar for Best Picture. The film won five out of the six categories it earned nominations for. Director Sean Baker and the film’s cast, including Best Actress winner Mikey Madison and producers Alex Coco and Samantha Quan, took the stage to accept the award.

“To all of the dreamers and young filmmakers out there, tell the stories you want to tell. Tell the stories that move you. I promise you, you will never regret it,” said Quan.

Added Baker, “I want to thank the Academy for recognizing a truly independent film. This film was made on the blood, sweat and tears of incredible indie artists.”
