- Welcome to the Oscars! View post
After months of speculation regarding the potential winners, tonight is the night that all of those conversations are put to bed as the Oscars are handed out at the prestigious Academy Awards.
Over the last few months, there have been awards ceremonies on a weekly basis such as the SAG Awards and the Baftas. However, when it comes to glitz and glamour, nothing comes close to the Oscars. Being nominated for an Academy Award is an accomplishment that every person working in the film industry dreams about. The only thing more impressive than a nomination is going a step better and winning the whole thing.
The Oscars is an event that can turn actors into Hollywood stars and have their names cemented into the cinematic history books for the rest of time. As an accompaniment to the Oscars, Far Out is on hand right here to guide you through the award winners, the big talking points and whether anybody decides to deliver an impression of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
That’s a wrap from the Oscars!
Thanks for choosing to spend Oscars night with Far Out and allow me to guide you through the biggest night in cinema. While the biggest story is the success of Anora, the tributes to the late Gene Hackman and Quincy Jones to the James Bond film series were also important moments from this year’s Academy Awards.
But most importantly, it was a love letter for peace during testing times internationally ranging from No Other Land’s win and Daryl Hannah speaking up for Ukraine on the biggest stage. While films are vehicles for escapism, they can also highlight injustice and help spread a message of peace.
‘Anora’ wins ‘Best Picture’ and completes sweep
It had to be Anora for ‘Best Picture’ following wins in major categories for Sean Baker and Mikey Madison, bringing the film’s tally to five for the Oscars. The story of the night revolves around the success of this movie which, despite being a low-budget picture, has overshadowed films made on budgets on a much grander scale.
Sean Baker celebrated the film’s independent status in his speech and proudly shouted in a room full of executives, “Long live independent films”. Storytelling is a skill that sits at the heart of Anora; it didn’t need to spend tens of millions on special effects but instead showcases what cinema is supposed to be and is also filled with compassion.
Meanwhile, Alex Coco said in his speech: “We made this movie for $6 million. Please keep making independent films—we need them. This is proof.”
Additionally, Samantha Quan noted: “I don’t know how this can be real life. We made this with very little money but all of our hearts. Tell the story you want to tell.”
Mikey Madison wins ‘Best Actress’ for ‘Anora’
Tonight has truly been the night for Anora as Mikey Madison has added to the film’s collection of trophies by securing ‘Best Actress’ for her performance. It marks the first Oscar of her career, and likely won’t be the last that she picks up.
In her speech, Madison said: “This is very surreal—I’m going to read off a paper. I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood always felt so far away. Thank you to my incredible family. Thank you to my twin brother, Miles, for being my best friend—not that you had a choice. I want to recognise and honour the sex worker community. I will continue to support and be an ally. Meeting all the incredible people and women in this community has been one of the highlights of this experience.”
She concluded: “To my nominees, it is an honour to be recognised alongside all of you. Thank you so much to Sean—I adore you.”
Sean Baker wins ‘Best Director’ for ‘Anora’
Sean Baker has won another Oscar, his third prize at the ceremony so far, but none have been bigger than ‘Best Director’ which Quentin Tarantino awarded to him and looked on in agreement during his speech about the importance of keeping movie theatres alive.
Rather than making the moment about himself, Baker used the platform to make a wider point about the vitality of cinemas, which are dying weekly across the globe. He also encouraged filmmakers to keep cinemas in mind when making movies and continue making pictures for the big screen rather than small.
[Link]Adrien Brody pleads with Oscars not to cut him off
After taking several minutes to express his gratitude for winning the Oscar for ‘Best Actor’, Adrien Brody intervened after the Academy played music to prompt him to leave the stage, telling them, “It’s not my first rodeo” and that he’ll finish his speech when he’s done.
He then continued with his speech for several more minutes before leaving the stage after they played music for the second time. In fairness, his speech was staying true to the length of The Brutalist.
Brody said during the speech: Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very glamorous. certain moments it is one thing I have gained and am privileged to come back here, which is to have some perspective. No matter where you are in your care.. it can all go away. What makes this night special is to witness the now.”
[Link]Adrien Brody named ‘Best Actor’ for ‘The Brutalist’
Cillian Murphy, who won ‘Best Actor’ in 2024 for his performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, returned to the Oscars to award ‘Best Actor’ to The Brutalist star Adrien Brody, who beat Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes, and Sebastian Stan to the top prize.
The victory marks Brody’s second time winning the award after previously being celebrated by the Academy for his performance in The Pianist in 2002.
Quincy Jones remembered by Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg
Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg, who both worked with Quincy Jones on The Color Purple, have paid an emotional tribute to the late musical genius who they thanked for giving them their careers.
After their speech, Queen Latifah took to the stage at the Oscars to perform ‘Ease on Down the Road’ from The Wiz and injected bundles of fun into the ceremony which is exactly the ingredient that Jones did with everything he touched. A true one-off who, as Winfrey rightly said, was a master who “lived out loud”.
‘Best Original Score’ goes to ‘The Brutalist’
Shortly after winning its first Oscar of the night, The Brutalist has added to its tally with ‘Best Original Score’ for Daniel Blumberg. In his speech, Blumberg called director Brady Corbet his “artistic soulmate” and thanked him for showing trust in him for producing the score.
As Blumberg pointed out, his whole career has been building up to this moment and it’s been 20 years in the making since he started his music career as a teenager.
[Link]Brazil wins first Oscar as ‘I’m Still Here’ wins ‘Best International Film’
Oscar-winner Penelope Cruz has awarded ‘Best International Film’ to the Brazillian feature I’m Still Here, marking the country’s first Oscar win despite its rich cinematic history.
They will certainly be partying on the streets of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo tonight after this momentous victory for Brazilian cinema. The best could still be yet to come, too, as Fernanda Torres is nominated for ‘Best Leading Actress’.
‘Best Cinematography’ goes to ‘The Brutalist’
Dave Bautista, Willem Dafoe and Joe Alwyn are among the stars to pay tribute to their respective cinematographers before Lol Crawley won the award for ‘Best Cinematography’ for his work on The Brutalist.
Despite having ten nominations, this victory marks the first Oscar for The Brutalist so far tonight. However, with several major categories still to come, it’s almost certain to add to its collection.
Michelle Trachtenberg not featured in ‘In Memoriam’
Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg, who sadly died earlier this week aged 39, was a glaring omission from the Academy Awards’ ‘In Memoriam’ segment. While the likes of David Lynch and Gene Hackman were all featured along with dozens of others who are no longer with us, Trachtenberg didn’t make the cut.
The Oscars is yet to comment on the incident and whether it was deliberate or merely an accidental oversight.
‘In Memoriam’ segment pays tribute to fallen giants of cinema
The ‘In Memoriam’ section of the Academy Awards is always an incredibly moving part of the annual event. In the last 12 months, it feels like there have been plentiful tragic deaths in cinema, with the likes of Donald Sutherland, Maggie Smith, David Lynch and Gene Hackman all sadly no longer with us.
Beautifully, the Oscars also honour those who work tirelessly behind the scenes in the movie business and help make films possible, even if they don’t appear in them.
[Link]Morgan Freeman honours Gene Hackman
Morgan Freeman has appeared on-stage to pay tribute to the late Gene Hackman who sadly died earlier this week. Freeman worked with Hackman on two occasions including Unforgiven, and spoke from the heart in his tribute which is very clearly fresh on his mind.
He emotionally said: “Our community lost a giant, and I lost a dear friend, Gene Hackman. I had the pleasure of working alongside Gene on two films. Unforgiven and Under Suspicion, he was a generous performer whose clips elevated everyone’s work; he received two Oscars but, more importantly, warmed the hearts of film lovers all over the world. Gene would say, ‘I just want people to remember me as someone who tried to do good work’ — I speak for us all when I say Gene, we will remember that and so much more.”
‘I’m Not a Robot’ wins ‘Short Film (Live Action)‘
In the ‘Short Film (Live Action)’ category, I’m Not a Robot has taken the top prize which has been collected by its creators Victoria Warmerdam and her partner Trent (who goes by one name like a Brazillian footballer).
[Link]Relive Mick Jagger’s glorious cameo
Although he wasn’t announced prior to the event, Mick Jagger duly delivered during his cameo ahead of handing out the ‘Best Original Song’ gong and used his speech to lightly poke fun at Bob Dylan.
‘Best Sound’ and ‘Visual Effects’ goes to ‘Dune: Part Two’
Dune: Part Two has picked up its first award of the night in the ‘Best Sound’ category which was awarded to them by Miles Teller and Miley Cyrus. It beat A Complete Unknown, Emilia Pérez, The Wild Robot, and Wicked.
Moments later, it picked up another Oscar for ‘Visual Effects’ which has made tonight a hugely successful evening for the movie despite not having any awards to its name a matter of minutes ago. How quickly things can change at the Oscars.
The Los Angeles firefighters get the ovation of the night
While there have been stars like Mick Jagger and Selena Gomez that have appeared on stage, nobody received a welcome like the Los Angeles firefighters who saved countless lives in January when the city was struck by wildfires.
Conan O’Brien, who is currently living in a hotel after losing his home in the wildfires, rightly labelled them “heroes” and there’s nobody in the Dolby Theatre who would disagree with that appraisal.
[Link]‘No Other Land’ wins ‘Best Documentary’
No Other Land has deservedly won the Oscar for ‘Best Documentary’. The film explores the difference in life between those born in Palestine and Israel despite the close proximity of the regions. It was worked on by both Palestinians and Israelis, who show in the film that they have far more in common than divides them, a narrative that we seldom hear and shows the true power of documentary making.
“Two months ago, I became a father, and I made a promise to her that she would no longer have to live the life we are living,” the Palestinian director Basel Adra said, before adding, “Stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.”
Meanwhile, the Israeli director Yuval Abraham also made an impassioned speech, adding, “There is a different path. A political path.” He also said about Adra, “Can’t you see that we are intertwined.”
‘The Only Girl in the Orchestra’ wins ‘Best Documentary Short’
The Only Girl in the Orchestra has been awarded the Oscar for ‘Best Documentary Short’. In their speech, the pair of creatives behind the film spoke poignantly about the power of providing art education to children and also highlighted that it was an all-female team that worked on the film.
“Music helps us organise our emotions, and there are a lot of emotions that need organising these days,” they said.
[Link]Conan O’Brien pokes fun at Drake
Referencing the Super Bowl Half Time Show, Conan brilliantly stated that as we are know at the halfway stage that it’s time for “Kendrick Lamar to call Drake a paedophile” but assured viewers that he’s “lawyered up”. Ouch.
‘Emilia Pérez’ wins ‘Best Original Song’
‘El Mal’ from Emilia Perez has taken the gong for ‘Best Original Song’ beating competition from ‘Mi Camino’ also from Emilia Perez and Elton John’s ‘Never Too Late’.
The three songwriters behind the track said in their joyful statement that also saw them burst into song, “We are so grateful… congrats to our beautiful fellow nominees…. we hope it speaks to the role music and art can continue to play, as a force, for good and progress in the world”.
Mick Jagger is in the building
The Oscars have been graced by rock god Mick Jagger. The Rolling Stones frontman is handing out the award for ‘Best Original Song’ and rightly received a standing ovation from the Oscars crowd. Although he did claim that Bob Dylan was the first choice for the role, he said, “They should find someone younger,” and Jagger stepped up to the plate.
While the anecdote is almost certainly false, it raised a laugh from Timothée Chalamet who knows more about Bob Dylan than anybody else in the room.
A true icon.
Ben Stiller presents ‘Production Design’ to ‘Wicked’
Ben Stiller showed the importance of production design in hilarious fashion before finally climbing back on stage to hand the award for ‘Production Design’ to Wicked, beating The Brutalist, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, and Nosferatu.
Zoe Saldaña crowned ‘Best Supporting Actress’
Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who presented the award, addressed every nominee individually to praise their performances from the heart before Zoe Saldaña won ‘Best Supporting Actress’ for her role in Emilia Pérez.
In her emotional speech after securing her first Oscar, Saldaña said: “Thank you to the Academy for recognising the amazing power of women.”
Saldaña was almost brought to tears when she said of her family, “Everything brave and outrageous and good I have ever done is because of you.”
The actor powerfully addressed the anti-immigration rhetoric which is ongoing currently, and proudly spoke about her Dominican roots. Saldaña is the first actor of Dominican heritage to win this award, but she insists she “won’t be the last”.
Daryl Hannah shows support for Ukraine
Before handing out the award for ‘Film Editing’, Daryl Hannah showed her support to Ukraine amid the uncertainty over the United States’ relationship with the country. Hannah’s statement makes her the first star to use the platform to directly discuss the issue.
After making her support for Ukraine known, Hannah then handed out the award for ‘Best Editing’ to Anora’s Sean Baker who picked up his second award of the night. In his speech, Baker, who also directed the movie, said, “I truly appreciate the recognition for this… I saved this film in the edit. That director should never work again.”
Watch Raye’s performance of ‘Skyfall’
Take two minutes to revisit Raye’s marvellous cover of ‘Skyfall’ in full and left the Dolby Theatre in awe.
The Oscars delivers stellar James Bond tribute
Following the recent news that the Broccoli family had let go of the creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon, Halle Berry thanked them for being the “heart and soul” of Bond before an all-star tribute to the series which may never be the same again.
The performance began with Margaret Qualley taking to the stage for an impressive dance with a team of male dancers to the James Bond theme. K-pop superstar Lisa has now graced the stage to cover ‘Live and Let Die’ by Paul McCartney and Wings, which is as iconic as Bond themes go.
Doja Cat was next up with a rendition of ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ and delivered a thunderous performance that will make Shirley Bassey proud.
Raye, who won a Brit Award last night, then took to the Oscars stage to cover Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ and has proved why she is where she is. The high note at the end was a crescendo of the highest calibre and confirmed, if anyone thought otherwise, that Raye has one of the most spectacular voices in Britain.
‘The Substance’ wins ‘Best Make-Up and Hairstyling’
June Squibb and Scarlett Johansson have now handed out the award for ‘Best Make-Up and Hairstyling’ to The Substance after delivering a warmhearted skit while Johansson helped Squibb with her mobility. “Thank you to Demi Moore and Margret Qualley for your hours in the make-up chair,” the award winner said in the speech.
Paul Tazewell’s emotional speech
After winning the award for ‘Best Costume Design’ for Wicked, Paul Tazewell spoke from the heart after becoming the first Black man to be victorious in this category since the Oscars began, watch it below.
‘Conclave’ wins ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’
Conclave has beaten A Complete Unknown, Emilia Pérez, Nickel Boys and Sing Sing to the Oscar for ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’.
The movie was written by Peter Straughan, who wore a badge to collect the award in support of Ukraine and thanked everyone who worked on the movie, including Robert Harris, who wrote the book on which Conclave is based.
Straughan added: “A huge thank you to everyone involved making Conclave… Connie, I love you, this is for you.. that’s not eh same as saying ‘this is yours’, this is mine.”
Sean Baker wins ‘Best Screenplay’ for ‘Anora’
Amy Poehler is the latest star to join the Oscars as a presenter and delivered the award for ‘Best Screenplay’ to Anora which was written and directed by Sean Baker.
The other nominees were The Brutalist, A Real Pain, September 5, and The Substance.
In his speech, Baker thanked everyone involved with making his vision come to life including those off-camera. Poignantly, he also gave his “deepest respect” to the sex-worker community and says that he “shares this with you”.
[Link]‘Best Costume Design’ goes to ‘Wicked’
Lily-Rose Depp, Bowen Yang, Elle Fanning, Connie Nielsen and John Lithgow are the presenting Avengers to have joined forces for the ‘Best Costume Design’ award which has seen Yang take centre stage for a semi-funny skit.
Notably, they all feature in the films nominated Nosferatu, A Complete Unknown, Wicked, Conclave and Gladiator II. Beautifully, they paid warm tributes to their respective costume designers before the award went to Wicked.
In his speech, Paul Tazewell spoke proudly about becoming the first Black man in history to win the coveted award which raised a standing ovation from the likes of Cynthia Erivo.
‘In The Shadow of the Cypress’ wins ‘Best Animated Short’
In The Shadow of the Cypress is the recipient of the next award of the evening as the short film takes home the prize for ‘Best Animated Short’. The pair behind the film were overjoyed with their Oscar win, revealing they only got their visas for their visit yesterday and arrived in Los Angeles only three hours ago.
A beautiful and heartwarming moment. The Iranian filmmaking duo also highlighted the troubling circumstances in their home country and made a poignant statement about the state of affairs.
[Link]‘Flow’ wins ‘Best Animated Film’
Andrew Garfield paid a warm tribute to his co-presenter Goldie Hawn, who visibly looked emotional before they handed out the award for ‘Animated Feature Film’ to Flow.
The other nominees were Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Inside Out 2, and Memoir of a Snail, The Wild Robot.
In his speech, director Gints Zilbalodis noted how they made history by becoming the first Latvian movie to win before noting, “We’re all in the same boat, we must overcome our differences and find ways to work together.”
Robert Downey Jr presents ‘Best Supporting Actor’ to Kieran Culkin
Robert Downey Jr has just handed out the ‘Best Supporting Actor’ award to A Real Pain star Kieran Culkin.
The other nominees for the award were Guy Pearce for The Brutalist, Yuri Borisov for Anora, Jeremy Strong for The Apprentice, and Edward Norton for A Complete Unknown.
In his speech, Culkin praised his Succession star Strong for The Apprentice and said he felt it was “never my trajectory” before thanking those who had guided him along the way. Most importantly, he thanked “genius” Jesse Eisenberg for his work on A Real Pain and making the Oscar possible.
Adam Sandler walks out of the Oscars
Admittedly, it was part of a skit but Adam Sandler has just stolen the show after walking out of the Academy Awards. Dressed in gym shorts and a hoody, Sandler was roasted by Conan before biting back at him in hilarious style which raised laughs from everybody in the room.
Before leaving to applause, he also made sure to give Timothée Chalamet a big hug who looked delighted by receiving a seal of approval by the Sandman.
Conan O’Brien pokes fun at Karla Sofia Gascon amid racism controversy
Although Karla Sofia Gascon hasn’t been in attendance for ceremonies such as the Baftas due to the storm surrounding racist and Islamaphobic tweets that she previously sent, she is at the Oscars.
Unsurprisingly, Conan O’Brien used the controversy as a vehicle to poke fun at the ‘Best Leading Actress’ nominee, claiming that her publicist swore more times at Gascon’s handling of the situation than in Sean Baker’s raunchy Anora.
He also told her that his name is Jimmy Kimmel if she wants to air her grievances about his performance as host which raised an awkward smile from Gascon.
Conan O’Brien delivers opening monologue
After a funny sketch relating to The Substance, Conan O’Brien has now graced the Oscars stage for the first time as host. He has taken jabs at Netflix for their price increases, the plot of Wicked and the three-and-a-half-hour running time of The Brutalist.
Cynthia Erivo performs from ‘Wicked’ soundtrack
Continuing on the Wicked theme, Cynthia Erivo replaced her co-star Ariana Grande on-stage before they later reunited for a stunning duet of ‘Defying Gravity’.
Notably, if Erivo wins ‘Best Actress’ later tonight, she will become the youngest star to become an EGOT in history.
Ariana Grande brings ‘Wicked’ to the Oscars
The ceremony has started with Ariana Grande performing a beautiful rendition of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ from the Wicked soundtrack. A truly note-perfect take on the track.
Grande is also nominated for ‘Best Supporting Actor’. Below is an image that will make your heart swell of Grande dressed as Dorothy from Wicked as a child, if only she knew one day what road lay ahead in her future.
The Oscars begins with LA wildfires tribute
The wait is now finally over and the red carpet pre-show has concluded. Get your popcorn ready, as it’s time for the show to get underway. Viewers are being treated to a montage from classic movies that have been celebrated by the Academy in previous years which are set in Los Angeles.
Following the tragic wildfires that took dozens of lives in January, the Oscars rightly honoured the city during the opening segment.
[Link]Lily-Rose Depp is here at the Oscars
Nosferatu star Lily-Rose Depp has arrived for the Oscars. Robert Eggers’ movie has been recognised at the event with four nominations, but it was shunned from the major categories, such as Depp’s performance.
However, it could still win ‘Best Cinematography’, ‘Best Production Design’, ‘Best Costume Design’ and ‘Best Makeup and Hairstyling’.
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner take their seats
After turning heads in his yellow suit after making his arrival at the Oscars, A Complete Unknown star Timothée Chalamet has now taken his seat at the front of the Dolby Theatre alongside his partner Kylie Jenner.
Kieran Culkin arrives at the ceremony
A Real Pain star Kieran Culkin is highly expected to win ‘Best Supporting Actor’, which is set to be the first award to be announced of the evening. While he wasn’t able to be at the Baftas last month to pick up his award, thankfully, the Succession actor is in Los Angeles tonight and has arrived at the Oscars.
Ben Stiller honours Gene Hackman
While he isn’t nominated for an award, Ben Stiller is one of the presenters at the Oscars this evening and used his arrival at the ceremony to pay tribute to the late Gene Hackman who he labelled a “giant”.
Hackman, aged 95, was found dead earlier this week alongside his wife Betsy Akawawa and their dog. Their deaths are currently being investigated and the circumstances surrounding them have been labelled “suspicious”.
Demi Moore brings The Substance to the Oscars
Demi Moore is nominated in the ‘Best Actress’ category for her performance in Caroline Forgeat’s horror movie The Substance. The film tells the story of an ageing woman who takes a drug which allows her to become a younger version of herself and has placed Moore back at the top of Hollywood.
Is Keiran Culkin set to become an Oscar winner?
Star of Succession, Kieran Culkin has been hotly tipped to take home the gold in the ‘Best Supporting Actor’ category after a truly mesmeric performance in A Real Pain, starring opposite Jesse Eisenberg who also directs the movie. Culkin is the clear favourite with the bookmakers, and although they sometimes get it wrong, following the money makes sense in this scenario.
Will Zoe Saldaña win ‘Best Supporting Actress’?
It’s always hard to predict the night’s big winners, but it seems rational to assume Zoe Saldaña may have the award for ‘Best Supporting Actress’ after taking home a clean sweep this awards season for her role in Emilia Pérez.
Typically, the major winners can be predicted from other ceremonies, including the Baftas at which Saldaña was victorious.
Guy Pearce wears Free Palestine badge
The Brutalist star Guy Pearce has worn a Free Palestine badge ahead of the Academy Awards, expressing his support for the country amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Over the last 12 months, Pearce has regularly worn the badge at events which was controversially edited out of a photoshoot he did for Vanity Fair France.
“As the Palestinian people are already suffering great trauma and loss due to the vengeful regime of Netanyahu it is most unfortunate that a reputable publication like VF attempts to eliminate support that I or anyone chooses to offer,” Pearce told CNN in a statement. “Personally I think it is a disgrace.”
What is the most-nominated movie at the Oscars?
Emilia Perez is leading the pack at the Oscars tonight with 13 nominations across the entire set of categories. Due to the recent controversy surrounding racist tweets sent by Karla Sofia Gascon, she is unlikely to win ‘Best Leading Actress’, but the movie will likely still pick up several awards.
The Brutalist is trailing shortly behind with ten nominations, including all of the major categories. Brady Corbet is nominated for ‘Directing’, Felicity Jones is up for ‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’, Guy Pearce is nominated for ‘Best Actor in a Supporting Role’, and Adrien Brody is looking to repeat his Bafta glory in the ‘Best Actor in a Leading Role’ category. The Brutalist is also shortlisted for ‘Best Picture’. Wicked also has ten nominations to its name.
Welcome to the Oscars!
Good evening, all; the wait is nearly over and in less than an hour, it will be time for the Oscars to begin. Tonight, there many records that look set to be broken as Conan O’Brien hosts the Academy Awards and the likes of Timothée Chalamet and Cynthia Erivo look to win their first Oscars.
Throughout all of the twists and turns that are set to take place over the next several hours, Far Out will be by your side with live updates. In addition to this live blog, our Film Team will also be delivering features throughout the evening and live reactions as winners are crowned.
