2025 Oscars Winners List: ‘Anora’ Wins 5 in Near Sweep, ‘The Brutalist’ Wins 3
The 97th Academy Awards have wrapped and the entire 2025 Oscars winners list has been unveiled. We live updated the winners list throughout the entire night as the statuettes were handed out at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
“Anora” won five of the six Oscars for which it was nominated: Best Picture, Best Director Sean Baker, Best Original Screenplay (also for Baker), Best Editor (Baker again), and Best Actress for Mikey Madison. the only category it lost was Yura Borisov’s nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Anne Thompson’s final predictions were mostly right! It was undeniable that the Oscar race changed dramatically since the nominations were announced on January 23, and “Emilia Pérez” received 13 nods, the most ever for a non-English-language movie. The Jacques Audiard film ended up winning just two awards.
Indeed, when all was said and done, only the supporting categories were near-locks, as Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor for “A Real Pain” in the first award of the night. And then Zoe Salda?a won Best Supporting actress for “Emilia Pérez,” probably the most likely win the film still could expect. Shortly thereafter, it won the Oscar for Best Original Song as well, for “El Mal.”
When “Anora” won Best Original Screenplay for Sean Baker, it seemed like a very good night was ahead of it. And indeed Baker himself won a second Oscar just minutes later for Best Film Editing — he was the credited editor on the film. “Conclave” won Best Adapted Screenplay.
With his win for Best Costume Design for “Wicked,” Paul Tazewell became the first Black man ever to win an Oscar in that category. A short time later, “Wicked” won for Best Production Design as well. “Dune: Part Two” won two other craft awards, for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound.
“The Brutalist” rounded out the craft wins with Best Cinematography and Best Original Score. Then Adrien Brody won Best Actor.
“Flow” also made history by becoming the first indie film ever to win Best Animated Feature. And “No Other Land” capped off its extraordinary awards season by winning Best Documentary Feature, even without distribution.
IndieWire critics had their own pick for what the best of the Best Picture nominees this year is. Sadly, “Nickel Boys” left the ceremony without a single win.
