Everything We Know So Far About the 2025 Oscars¹

Amid the devastating wildfires currently ravaging the Los Angeles area, the city and the film industry that sits at its center are at a standstill, with countless homes destroyed and so ____ lives lost. Several awards season-related events have been postponed, though per the organizers of the Grammys2, scheduled to be held in just over two weeks, on February 2, that particular show will go ahead as planned, with its telecast raising funds to support wildfire relief efforts. So, can the 2025 Oscars3 still take place, too? And if they do, what kind of tone would it have to strike?

Despite the fact that four members of the film Academy’s board of governors have lost their homes in the fires, the organization’s current CEO, Bill Kramer, and president, Janet Yang, have reiterated in a statement that the Oscars will still go ahead as planned on Sunday, March 2, from 7 p.m. Eastern Time. However, should the situation in Los Angeles worsen, this could, of course, change. There will be delays on other fronts, though. The nominations were shifted twice and will be revealed on Thursday, the 23rd, at 8:30 a.m. The announcement will be broadcast as usual, though this time without any press in the audience. As a result, the voting window for nominations has been extended until January 17. Meanwhile, the annual Oscar nominees’ luncheon has been canceled, though nominees may still be invited to smaller dinners with their fellow contenders closer to the show itself. The final round of Oscars voting will take place between February 11 and 18.

The 2025 Oscars will inevitably feel different from previous shows. Kramer and Yang’s recent statement about the ceremony suggests that, much like the Grammys, the Oscars could serve as a telethon of sorts, working to raise funds for those affected by the fires and those who continue to fight them. Taking the reins from Jimmy Kimmel, who oversaw proceedings in 2023 and 2024, will be the beloved comedian Conan O’Brien. “We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year,” Kramer and Yang said in an accompanying statement. “He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor, his love of movies, and his live TV expertise. His remarkable ability to connect with audiences will bring viewers together to do what the Oscars do best—honor the spectacular films and filmmakers of this year.” Against the backdrop of the current crisis, O’Brien will, naturally, have to ensure that he strikes the right tone.

It’s too early to say who will perform at the 2025 Oscars, though there’s a chance that Emilia Pérez star Selena Gomez could be among the performers, for her impassioned rendition of “Mi Camino” from that mind-boggling cartel musical, as could Elton John with “Never Too Late” from his documentary of the same name, as well as the raucous Irish rap trio Kneecap with “Sick in the Head” from their head-spinning self-titled film. On the other hand, the Academy could also choose to do away with performances entirely, to establish a more somber mood. With the ceremony just a month and a half away, the 2025 Oscar race is still, remarkably, wide open.
