Red Carpet Ruckus at Oscars 2025

As I eagerly anticipate, I’ll be immersed in an exhilarating blend of suspense and elegance when the grand event, the Oscars 2025, unfolds on the red carpet of the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood this coming Sunday afternoon.

Since several prestigious awards are not yet definite winners, the 2025 Academy Awards are expected to keep audiences engaged and guessing until the very end of the 3 hours and 30 minutes long broadcast, which starts at 4 p.m. Pacific Time/7 p.m. Eastern Time simultaneously on ABC and streaming live on Hulu.

In this scenario, we’re discussing the possibilities for various award categories at an upcoming event.

Is Adrien Brody from “The Brutalist” likely to win the Best Actor Oscar, or could Timothée Chalamet, who played Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown“, take the prize instead? Will Demi Moore secure the Best Actress award for her role in “The Substance“, or might Fernanda Torres, the Golden Globe winner for “I’m Still Here“, surprise us and win instead? Lastly, will the Academy grant the prestigious Best Picture award to “The Brutalist”, or could they choose to honor the box-office sensation “Wicked“, which has earned $728.2 million worldwide as of Feb. 28, making it the highest-grossing film adaptation of a Broadway musical ever?

There’s much discussion about the potential influence of politics during the Oscars 2025, ranging from the political humor in Conan O’Brien’s hosting routine to passionate speeches from any of the winners expressing their views.

The evening of the Oscars 2025 is expected to have a political undertone, with jokes and comments from host Conan O’Brien possibly carrying political overtones, as well as impassioned speeches from winners who might voice their opinions.

As fashion enthusiasts eagerly await the 4 p.m. ET start of E!’s preshow coverage, a burning question arises: What striking outfits will celebrities don on this red carpet, which now rivals the Met Gala in May as the year’s most stylish event? Among the highly anticipated arrivals are best actress nominees Cynthia Erivo and Meryl Streep, along with presenters Selena Gomez, Margaret Qualley, and nominees Mikey Madison, Ariana Grande, and Zoe Saldaña. On the men’s side, we can expect Colman Domingo (nominated for Best Actor in Sing Sing) and Jeremy Strong (nominated for Best Supporting Actor on The Apprentice) to continue showcasing their innovative fashion sense with their clothing choices.
