Oscars 2025: Anora wins Big; Winners & Highlights

Oscars 2025 just wrapped up, the culmination of a uniquely wild awards season in which no single film emerged as a reliable front-runner. At least until the Oscars, when Sean Baker’s Anora gradually emerged as the year’s largest film, winning five overall Oscars, four of which went to Baker himself (best picture, director, original screenplay, and editing). The fifth went to unexpected best actress winner Mikey Madison, who beat off Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres.

Even though the main event has ended, Oscar night is far from over. Vanity Fair’s official Oscar Party webcast begins at 12 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT. It was hosted by Tan France from Queer Eye, Francesca Scorsese, and Giggly Squad podcast cohosts Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner, and it kicked off our annual Oscar celebration, Hollywood’s greatest night. We’ll be bringing you all kinds of behind-the-scenes morsels from the party, all with the wit and style that only Vanity Fair can deliver.
