LOS ANGELES -- The 2025 Oscars honored the best in cinema from the past year Sunday night.
The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O'Brien, ended with "Anora" taking home the coveted trophy for best picture.
"Anora" was the top film of the night, taking home five Oscars including best director for Sean Baker.
The top acting prizes went to Adrien Brody, who won best actor for "The Brutalist," and Mikey Madison, who won best actress for "Anora." Winning in the supporting categories were "Emilia Pérez" star Zoe Saldaña and "A Real Pain" star Kieran Culkin.
Heading into the ceremony, "Emilia Pérez" led the field of nominees with 13 total Oscar nominations. It ended the night with two trophies.
This year's show honored the city of Los Angeles in the wake of the wildfires that left at least 29 dead and destroyed thousands of homes earlier this year, bringing firefighters onto the Oscars stage and hosting a charitable component to raise money for fire victims.
The Oscars ceremony aired live on ABC and streamed live on Hulu for the first time.

Oscars host Conan O'Brien kicked off the 97th Oscars with a monologue that touched on this year's nominated movies and actors.
"'A Complete Unknown.' 'A Real Pain.' 'Nosferatu.' These are just some of the names I was called on the red carpet," he joked.
Of nominee "Wicked," O'Brien poked fun by saying, "It's the perfect movie for anyone who's ever finished watching 'The Wizard of Oz' and thought, 'Sure, but where did all the minor characters go to college? That's the story.'"
Touching on Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón's social media controversy, O'Brien joked, "I loved 'Anora.' I really did. Little fact for ya, 'Anora' uses the F-word 479 times. That's three more than the record set by Karla Sofía Gascón's publicist."
He then told the "Emilia Pérez" actress, who came under fire in recent weeks for past offensive social media posts, "Karla, if you're going to tweet about the Oscars, remember, my name is Jimmy Kimmel."
Adam Sandler made a surprise cameo, bantering with O'Brien over his chosen wardrobe for the Oscars: gym shorts and a hoodie.
O'Brien then got more serious with a message about what the Oscars truly represent at their core.
"Now, for almost a century, we have paused every spring to elevate and celebrate an art form that has the power, at its very best, to unite us," he said. "So, yes, even in the face of terrible wildfires and divisive politics, the work, which this is about, the work continues."
"And next year, and for years to come, through trauma and joy, this seemingly absurd ritual is going to be here," he continued. "I will not -- I'm leaving Hollywood to run a bed and breakfast in Orlando, and I'd like to see you there. But the magic, the madness, the grandeur and the joy of film worldwide is going to be with us forever."
Before his monologue, O'Brien kicked off the show with a parody of "The Substance."
