Just five nights before the 97th Oscars, the Academy hosted a gathering at its museum in place of the traditional Oscar Nominees Luncheon, which was canceled in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires.

Ariana Grande pulled out an archival gown for her 2025 Oscars Nominees Dinner.

Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Demi Moore and other Oscar nominees celebrated on Tuesday at a film academy dinner that gave the contenders a chance to mingle before Sunday's red-carpet awards show.

Moore, a nominee for Best Actress, meant business in an oversize ivory suit from Nina Ricci ’s spring 2025 collection, accessorizing with dangle earrings. The “Substance” star was dressed by Brad Goreski, who also counts “Emily in Paris” star Ashley Park and Liv Tyler as clients.

We’re now a bit over a week away from the 2025 Oscars, which are set to air on March 2. As the date approaches, a clearer picture of what the Conan O’Brien-hosted 97th Annual Academy Awards will look like is starting to come into focus: The Hollywood Reporter reports that Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set to perform during the broadcast.

Academy Award nominees are preparing for what could be many historic moments when the ceremony is broadcast live on Sunday, March 2, on ABC. Leading the pack is Emilia Pérez, a Spanish-language musical crime comedy with 13 Oscar nominations — the most ever for a non-English-language film.
