Oscars – When, Where, What

The 97th Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, will take place on Sunday 2nd March 2025 at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles. This year’s ceremony will be hosted by the American television host, Conan O’Brien. He is taking over the reins from Jimmy Kimmel who previously hosted in 2017, 2018, 2023 and 2024.

Nominations will begin on 8th January and conclude on 12th January. The final list was set to be released on 17th January, but due to the devastating fires in Los Angeles, it was pushed back to 23rd January.

Contenders

So far shortlists have been announced in 10 award categories with major movies such as Emilia Pérez, The Substance, Gladiator II, Wicked, and Challengers making their appearance.

Variety released their Oscar predictions on 3rd January, placing Wicked with wins in 6 out of 11 nominated categories – one being best picture. After the recent shocking wins at the Golden Globes it is sure to have shaken up the Oscars race. Demi Moore was low down on predictions lists but came away at the Globes with her first ever award in her acting career. She won best performance by a female actor in a musical or comedy, for her role in The Substance. The film is nominated in 5 out of 23 categories and is predicted to win in 1 of them.

Many other big names are making buzz and are expected to receive nods towards their performance in the best actress category; Angelina Jolie for Maria, Nicole Kidman for Babygirl and Mikey Madison for Anora.

The best supporting actress category also has some strong women in contention; Ariana Grande for Wicked, Margaret Qualley for The Substance and Selena Gomez for Emilia Pérez.

It has been a huge year for film and it is set to be a tight race.

How To Watch The Oscars

The Oscars will be available to watch on ITV1 or ITVX on 3rd March at midnight. Jonathan Ross will host a live show that begins at 10:30pm before the main event.

For those in the UK whose sleep is going to be disturbed, we recommend getting a nap where you can before the show starts. Late afternoon, after dinner – whatever works best for you! If you take your awards season seriously, you may want to take the day off work on the 4th (we don’t blame you). The Oscars runtime is three hours, giving it a finish time of 3am.

Lucky for Americans, the Oscars is available to watch live on ABC and (for the first time ever) will be available to stream on Hulu. Beginning at 7pm Eastern time (so prime time evening viewing on the East Coast) which is 4pm Pacific time (in California where the ceremony is actually being held).

If you’re in a more convenient timezone (or you are just a hardcore Oscars fan) you might consider throwing a party for family or friends to watch the Oscars together! Bingo is just one of the ways to make it all even more exciting.
