The bulk of the 2025 movie schedule is still ahead of us, but on March 2 we paused for a look back into the year past to watch the Academy Awards and give top honors to the best of the best (whether or not they aligned with CinemaBlend's own Top 25 films of the year). Tonight we saw big wins for Anora, (turns out Mikey Madison’s time in strip clubs paid off), a couple of surprises and some A+ cracks from Conan O’Brien, who hosted for the first time. (Who saw that Adam Sandler cameo coming?)
Below is the full list of nominees and winners for the 97th annual Academy Awards ceremony, and hopefully you enjoyed some hilarious commentary and acceptance speech highlights on our 2025 Oscars live blog.
