LOS ANGELES -- The 2025 Oscars are officially here.
Conan O'Brien is hosting the 97th Academy Awards, which honor the best in cinema from the past year.
"Emilia Pérez" leads the field of nominees this year with 13 total Oscar nominations, just one shy of tying the record for most nominations by a single film held by "All About Eve," "Titanic" and "La La Land."
"The Brutalist" and "Wicked" follow closely behind with 10 nominations each, while "A Complete Unknown" and "Conclave" round out the top-nominated films with eight nods apiece.
This year's show will honor the city of Los Angeles, showcasing its resilience in the wake of the wildfires that left at least 29 dead and destroyed thousands of homes.
The Oscars ceremony is live on ABC now and is streaming live on Hulu for the first time.
Follow along below with updates throughout the night, and check out all coverage of the 2025 Oscars here.
Just had the first political statement. Daryl Hanna let loose with a, “Slava Ukraine.”
Which translates to “F___ Trump!”
yikes!
A few native-Russians are nominated tonight too from the Anora cast. Wonder what they think...
(Honestly probably won’t win just on that basis alone.)
Congratulation!
Here is another person you can add to your “World’s most perfect people” podcast. How odd that the 3 most perfect people in the world managed to post on the same thread.
Thank you. Good idea.
I’m in!
Are you kidding?
Yes we will miss your three’s perfect brilliance here but it obvious you 3 are destined for much greater things. Don’t waste any time, the world is desperately seeking your 3s brilliance to lead them out into the brave new perfect future.

Freepers are really slipping these days.
To all of you young whippersnappers, I can remember back in MY day, the FIRST post would be removed!
Slackers!
I sure DB will contact your withing minutes so you 3 can band together to save the world with your perfect brilliance
Some of these people have read the article before posting, too. We do have rules here.
Can’t wait.
Daryl Hannah hasn’t done anything since Kill Bill.
That was an attention-getting device.
"It’s taking around $1 billion to have 007 stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson cede creative oversight of their family’s storied James Bond franchise to Amazon MGM Studios, sources tell us."

James Bond franchise is worth a lot of money...
Zoe Saldana won the Best Supporting Actress..."Emilia Perez"...
Isn’t she with Neil Young?
Excellent!
Another superior being for the podcast!
MNJohnnie, that’s for bringing these great FReepers and ideas to our attention.
Maybe you’d run sound for us?
or maybe not.
I thought Neil was all for peace.
Neil looks like he’s all for cake and ice cream.
