Oscars 2025: Adrien Brody Lifts His 2nd Academy Award, Anora Leads With Most Wins

Oscars 2025: The 97th Academy Award finally took place and was filled with magical moments and loads of emotions. However, it was a sad night for Demi Moore fans, as she did not win the Best Actress trophy despite bagging all the major awards; the Academy Award evaded her. Zoe Saldana got emotional with her win, and rightfully so, as it is the Oscars. Read on for the deets.

The award was hosted by celebrity host and comedian Conan O’Brien, who kept things bold. This year’s nominations were filled with diverse genres and people. Emilia Perez, starring Selena Gomez and Zoe, led with thirteen nominations. Ariana Grande’s blockbuster movie Wicked and Adrien’s The Brutalist followed with the second-highest nominations.

Adrien Brody won his second trophy in the Best Actor category at the Oscars 2025. Anora is leading with the most wins, a total of five Academy Awards. It won Best Picture, Best Director, Original Screenplay, Editing, and Best Actress. Last year, Oppenheimer led with the most wins, and it secured seven trophies. Anora failed to best that.
