This year is the 97th Academy Awards, and will be hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien.
Movies likeThe Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Wicked,andThe Substanceare up for awards.
There is a lot to look forward to when it comes to the 2025 Oscars.
For example, every contender for Best Director is a first-time nominee, which hasn’t happened since 1997.
The show will run for approximately three hours, ending at 10 PM.
The Oscars will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
Typically, the ceremony does not begin until 8 PM.
Most likely, this change has to do with boosting ratings.
The Oscars is a fairly long award show, and can be extended by speeches and other unexpected mishaps.
Because of this, it can run later than audiences may want to stay up.
Ultimately, the Oscars' new start time is an exciting change.
