When are the 2025 Oscars? Date, start time, what to know about the 97th Academy Awards

After the music industry gave out its prestigious Grammys last Sunday, the Oscars are gearing up for film to take center stage next month.

The 97th Academy Awards are less than a month away, when the best movies of 2024 are honored along with the people behind them.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences unveiled its Oscar nominees last month, including a broad range of films from the nearly four-hour historical drama, "The Brutalist," to the fantasy musical blockbuster, "Wicked."

Leading the pack for the most nominations is Netflix crime musical "Emilia Pérez," a film that recently garnered headlines due to resurfaced comments by its star and best actress nominee Karla Sofía Gascón. The 52-year-old Spanish actor has said she regrets several social media posts including those expressing controversial views on Muslims, George Floyd and diversity at Oscars.

Several other film award shows come ahead of the Oscars, including the Critics Choice Awards as well as the PGA Awards (honoring producers) and DGA Awards (honoring directors) on Sunday, Feb. 8.
