The 2025 Oscars is one of the most-anticipated Award events of the year, as it recognises and rewards the best talents around the globe.
The Oscar Academy Awards, since 1929, have recognised excellence in cinematic achievements. Oscar’s 97th edition took place on March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
In a stunning sweep, “Anora”, a wildly unconventional comedy-drama, dominated the 97th Academy Awards, capturing five of the night’s most coveted honours.
The film’s impressive haul included the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay, telling the unlikely tale of a sex worker who finds love with the son of a Russian oligarch.
