The 2025 Oscars ceremony was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, with surprises and memorable moments aplenty. The night kicked off with a bang thanks to an unforgettable opening performance by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. The audience was left in awe as they set the tone for the rest of the evening.
One of the biggest shocks of the night came when Mikey Madison took home the award for Best Actress, leaving everyone in awe. Anora was a force to be reckoned with, sweeping up major awards and solidifying their dominance in the industry. Keiran Culkin added a touch of comedy with his hilarious “Pregnancy Pact” speech, bringing laughter to the crowd.
Adrien Brody caused quite the stir when he casually tossed his gum to his girlfriend mid-speech, raising eyebrows and sparking conversations. Zoe Saldaña and Paul Tazewell made history, while Timothée Chalamet found himself at the center of jokes throughout the night.
But perhaps the most emotional moment of the evening came when Zoe Saldaña broke down in tears, showcasing the raw emotions that come with being part of such a prestigious event. And of course, no Oscars night would be complete without Ariana Grande’s show-stopping performance that left the audience in awe.

5:10 I guess we getting that kid
Great panel! Agree with most of the discussion, so much fun and unapologetic, without being overly PC like most of people are nowadays. PS: Demi was robbed!
Bring back Ricky Gervais!
Conan was great, Demi Moore got robbed of Oscar, but love Mikey so much and she was good
Conan was the best thing about the Oscar's. It's meant to be silly. Sheesh. Get a sense of humor.
Demi losing out to a 25 yr old with little experience is the basic plot of the Substance.
HEY NOW😈😈😈😈
People no longer watch the Oscars because most of the movies that get nominated are movies that most people have not seen nor do they want to see. Or they don't have access to them. It is unrelatable and irrelevant to most movie watchers. The best movies of the year are so obviously decided by the academy and not the people who allow these movies to be made; the people who buy tickets or pay to stream the movies. Only 5% of Americans watch the Oscars.
Of all the movies that Zoe could have won an Oscar for her performance, this was NOT it.
Cynthia is a great actress and also a great singer…
