Oscars 2025: How to Watch the Ceremony and Live From E! Red Carpet

Award season is coming to a close—but not without one hell of a bang.

Hollywood's biggest night—a.k.a. the 2025 Oscars—is almost here, meaning the buzziest movie stars of the moment are prepping for what is sure to be a night filled with glamour, enchantment and lots of hard-earned wins.

Hosted by Conan O'Brien for the first time ever and held once again at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre, the March 2 ceremony is set to honor the year's highest achievements in filmmaking and acting.

When it comes to the stacked list of nominees across 23 categories, acting veterans including Adrien Brody, Cynthia Erivo and Timothée Chalamet will go up against an impressive—and somewhat shocking—handful of first time Academy Award nominees, like The Substance's Demi Moore, Wicked's Ariana Grande, Emilia Pérez'sZoe Saldañaand The Apprentice star Sebastian Stan.

As for the top honor of the night, Best Picture: Wicked, Emilia Pérez and The Substance are competing against Nickel Boys, I'm Still Here, Anora, A Complete Unknown, The Brutalist and Dune: Part Twofor the coveted Oscar trophy.

And while who will go home a winner has yet to be revealed, one thing is certain when it comes to this year's show: O'Brien will surely have viewers and audience members alike in stitches throughout the ceremony.

"I will say this if you like close up magic tricks, you'll be very happy with my Oscars performance," the former late night talk show host joked to ABC News last month. "I spent a lot of my own money polling Americans and saying, 'Would you like to see Conan O'Brien sing and dance?' Shocking response. People don't want it, which means they'll probably try and do it. I like to be an irritant. Let's just say there are many possibilities."
