Oscar 2025: Live Coverage of Hollywood’s Biggest Night with Favorites and Surprises

The most glamorous night of the year has arrived, the 97th Academy Awards. All eyes – including those of newsit.gr – are focused on the Dolby Theater in the heart of global cinema. Just three years before the Oscars celebrate a century of existence, the organizers promise surprises aimed at uniting the global film community after the devastating fires that hit Los Angeles earlier this January. The host of the ceremony will be comedian Conan O’Brien for the first time. “There will be incredible surprises at this year’s ceremony. It has always been an amazing celebration of cinema,” said Bill Kramer, CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. With thousands of hours of work put into the red carpet alone, production head Joe Lewis emphasized the collaborative effort behind the scenes. According to predictions, ‘Anora’ or ‘Conclave’ is expected to win Best Picture, though ‘I’m Still Here’ could cause an upset. Other categories see strong contenders like Kieran Culkin for Best Supporting Actor and Zoe Saldana for Best Supporting Actress. The competition for Best Actor is fierce between Adrian Brody and Timothée Salamé, while Demi Moore and Miki Madison battle it out for Best Actress. Concerns about television ratings loom due to the lack of popular commercial films among the nominees, potentially dampening public enthusiasm compared to previous years. Stay tuned as newsit.gr brings you live coverage of the 97th Oscar ceremony.
