The 97th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, in a glittering evening that honored the best cinematic achievements of the year, focusing on the productions of 2024.
For the first time, comedian, screenwriter and former late-night talk show host Kimmel took on the role of host. O'Brien's selection brought a renewed sense of humor and sarcasm to the Oscars stage.
Although “Emilia Pérez” had garnered 13 nominations and was considered the big favorite, the uproar caused by the racist views of its protagonist, Carla Sofia Gascón, seemed to affect its course. The film ultimately won only two awards, disappointing its supporters.
The big winner of the night was the film "Anora", which won a total of 5 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.
The night was also triumphant for Adrien Brody, who won the second Oscar of his career for his performance in “The Brutalist.” In accepting the award, Brody expressed gratitude for the love and respect he has received, acknowledged the fluidity of the acting profession, and declared that the award is not only a historic moment, but also a new beginning.
The big upset came in the first round of the women's event with Mikey Madison on Anora, who was the big winner.
Madison concluded her speech by saying, "I also want to recognize the thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful, and moving work of my fellow nominees. It's my honor to be with you. This is a dream come true."
