The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored its 2025 Oscar nominees Tuesday night with a dinner at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
The event was used to finally get the 97th Oscars nominees class photo, which traditionally is snapped during the AMPAS Oscars Nominees Luncheon, a rare moment when nominees are able to be in one place during the always hectic awards season.
Check out this year’s photo, shot inside the museum’s David Geffen Theater, above and below.
Deadline’s Pete Hammond was in the room as the group assembled, with Team Wicked (Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande) together in the front row and acting nominees Adrien Brody, Colman Domingo and Sebastian Stan sitting together in center back. Timothée Chalamet was on the far left, a row behind Anora‘s Sean Baker and Samantha Quan and two in front of Ralph Fiennes.
This year’s nominees luncheon had been scheduled for February 10 but was canceled in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires that devastated the Pacific Palisades and Alhambra neighborhoods. It caused several delays in the AMPAS timeline, including pushing the nominations voting period and nominees announcement, the latter of which finally took place January 23.
Tonight’s event at the Academy Museum included a pre-dinner reception, followed by the photo and then dinner.
The festivities all lead up to the Oscar ceremony Sunday, March 2, airing live on ABC and streaming live on Hulu from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Conan O’Brien hosts.
