Awards season’s final destination has arrived. It’s time to watch the 2025 Oscars live—no matter where you roll out your red carpet.The 97th Academy Awards kick off at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 2, hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien.

This year, the ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC and, for the first time ever, simultaneously streamed live on Hulu. It’s been an uncharacteristically crazy awards season with many major races still up in the air.

Will Adrien Brody win his second best-actor trophy for The Brutalist, or will 29-year-old Timothée Chalamet win for his performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown—beating Brody’s record for the youngest best-actor winner in the process? Does best-actress nominee Karla Sofía Gascón’s social media controversy tank Zoe Saldaña’s odds of winning best supporting actress for Emilia Pérez—leaving an opening for Conclave’s Isabella Rossellini or Wicked’s Ariana Grande? And is Anora now poised to win best picture after key victories at the Producers and Directors Guild of America ceremonies? Or will Conclave capitalize on its recent big wins at the BAFTAs and SAG awards and take home the top prize?
