The 97th Academy Awards took place Sunday night.
The 2025 Oscars honored the best in cinema from the past year Sunday night.
The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O'Brien, ended with "Anora" taking home the coveted trophy for best picture.
"Anora" was the top film of the night, taking home five Oscars including best director for Sean Baker.
The top acting prizes went to Adrien Brody, who won best actor for "The Brutalist," and Mikey Madison, who won best actress for "Anora." Winning in the supporting categories were "Emilia Pérez" star Zoe Saldaña and "A Real Pain" star Kieran Culkin.
Heading into the ceremony, "Emilia Pérez" led the field of nominees with 13 total Oscar nominations. It ended the night with two trophies.
This year's show honored the city of Los Angeles in the wake of the wildfires that left at least 29 dead and destroyed thousands of homes earlier this year, bringing firefighters onto the Oscars stage and hosting a charitable component to raise money for fire victims.
The Oscars ceremony aired live on ABC and streamed live on Hulu for the first time.

Andrew Garfield took to the stage to hand out the Oscar for best animated feature film and best animated short film with Goldie Hawn -- and he didn't pass up the opportunity pass to tell the actress what she meant to his late mother.
"There's someone, there's a person who gave my mother during her life the most joy, the most comfort. And tonight, I feel very lucky, because I get to thank that person from the bottom of my heart. That person is Goldie Hawn," Garfield said. "I can feel her smiling at us at this moment."
Hawn replied, "Thank you, sweetie. That really touches me."
Garfield continued, "You've given us movies full of joy, you've lifted our spirits and you've made us feel that all's right with the world over and over and over again."
"I just loved it," Hawn said in response. "I was so lucky making movies in this amazing Hollywood and making people laugh -- and maybe some didn't, but that's OK."
Garfield's mother died in 2019 from pancreatic cancer.
In his best supporting actor acceptance speech, Kieran Culkin thanked his manager of 30 years and the director of "A Real Pain," Jesse Eisenberg.
"I have no idea how I got here, I've just been acting my whole life. It's just been part of what I do. I felt like this was never my trajectory, but however I got here, I know that Emily Gerson Saines, my manager of 30 years, [it's] because of you. Thank you for being there, I lean on you for everything, so please don't go anywhere, I'd be completely lost without you. I love you."
"Jesse Eisenberg, thank you for this movie," he continued. "You're a genius, I'm never saying it again, so soak it up."
Culkin also thanked his mom, as well as his wife Jazz Charton, and joked about how he wants them to keep growing their family.
"About a year ago on a public stage like this, I very stupidly, publicly said that I want a third kid from her, because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid," he said. "Turns out she said that because she didn't think I was going to win. But people came up to her and were like, you know, really annoying her, I think it got to her."
Culkin went on to say that his wife did say, "'Oh God, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid.' And I turned to her and said, 'Really, I want four.' And she turned to me and said, 'I will give you four when you win an Oscar.'"
"I held my hand out, she shook it and I have not brought it up once until just now. You remember that, honey? You do? Then I just have to say to you, Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith," he added. "No pressure. I love you. I'm really sorry I did this again. And let's get crackin' on those kids, what do you say?"
