Oscars 2025: Full List of Nominations Announced

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the much-anticipated Oscar Nominations 2025. The announcement of the 97th Academy Awards nominations was postponed several times due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Initially set for January 17, the nominations were finally revealed on January 23 during a live-streamed event hosted by actor-comedians Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang.


The Oscars 2025 ceremony will take place on March 2 at the iconic Dolby Theatre, with Conan O’Brien hosting the evening. Tragically, O’Brien also lost his Pacific Palisades home in the recent wildfires.
