All about the 97th Academy Awards, aka the Oscars
This year's Oscars have fans in a chokehold, and we understand why.
And topping off the charts right now is about who won the Oscars and some of the best moments at this event that so many people look forward to.
The Oscars 2025, held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, will have fans in a chokehold. They honored the best movies released in 2024.
Starting with 'Best Picture,' the winner is Anora. It is a comedy-drama film directed and produced by Sean Baker, who also won 'Best Director' for this film and 'Best Actress' for Miss Mikey Madison of Anora. So yes, Anora won big this year. From the storyline to the video shots, the acting, the lighting, and all around. Well done.
Critics call longtime talk show host Conan O'Brien's opening monologue 'playful' with clever jokes about this year's films, a musical number where he performed a song that had him dancing with Deadpool and the Sandworm from the Dune. And he also had a funny bit where he made fun of Adam Sandler for not dressing up in formal clothes for the event. Another humorous moment on the show is when Adrien Brody walks up to receive his award. He turns around, tosses his gum back to his wife, and she catches it.
Let's discuss Cynthia Erivo and how she belted us out of the building. That performance was just outstanding. Erivo and Ariana Grande are unbelievable singers and performers, but Cynthia Erivo shut that place down as they both sang 'Defying Gravity' from Wicked!
