Oscars 2025 Winners: Who Won Best Picture & More Awards?

The 2025 Academy Awards came at a crucial time for Los Angeles. Less than two months after the county was ravaged by wildfires, Hollywood came together to support the entertainment capital at the Oscars. Held at the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, the annual awards ceremony honored 2024’s best films. Since this entire awards season has been a rollercoaster, you might be dying to find out who the winners were.

To kick things off, Wicked co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande opened the ceremony with a gravity-defying performance. Ariana began by performing a rendition of Judy Garland‘s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” then passed it off to Cynthia to sing “Home.” The women brought it home by belting out “Defying Gravity.”
