The 97th Academy Awards brought Hollywood’s biggest names together for a night of glamour, laughter, and some astonishing wins. Conan O’Brien made his hosting debut with a clever monologue that teased everyone from Timothée Chalamet to the Sandworm from Dune: Part Two, while also honouring past Oscar hosts. But as always, the focus was on the winners.
Anora dominated the night, winning five of its six nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay. Mikey Madison amazed with a Best Actress award, Adrien Brody took home Best Actor for The Brutalist, and supporting awards went to Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) and Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez). Other highlights included Wicked, Emilia Pérez, and Dune: Part Two, each leaving an impression on the ceremony.
