2025 Oscars Set for Tonight with No Clear Best Picture Frontrunner

The Oscars ceremony will air live on ABC and stream on Hulu at 7 p.m. ET, marking the first time the event is available on both platforms simultaneously.
Netflix’s 'Emilia Pérez' leads with 13 nominations, but its awards campaign has been impacted by controversy surrounding star Karla Sofía Gascón's past social media posts.
Best Picture remains a close race with 'Anora,' 'The Brutalist,' and 'Conclave' emerging as top contenders following an unpredictable awards season.
Demi Moore ('The Substance') and Timothée Chalamet ('A Complete Unknown') are among the leading acting nominees, with several categories considered too close to call.
Performances by Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and a tribute to Quincy Jones are planned, alongside presentations by stars like Emma Stone and Robert Downey Jr.
