Oscars 2025 Red Carpet Photos: Ariana Grande, Omar Apollo, and More

The 2025 Academy Awards are today in Hollywood, California. Along with the biggest stars in film, many notable musicians are taking in the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre. Expected in attendance are Wicked stars and renowned singers Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, newly trained singers Timothée Chalamet and Monica Barbaro, Emilia Pérez’s Selena Gomez, and plenty more. Below, see photos from the Oscars red carpet.

Three musically inclined films are up for Best Picture: the film adaptation of the Wicked musical, the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, and the Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez. Also nominated in the category is The Brutalist, which was scored by Daniel Blumberg.

Blumberg is looking to win the Academy Award for Best Original Score. He’s going up against 2023’s winner, Volker Bertelmann, who scored the papal drama Conclave, along with Emilia Pérez’s Clément Ducol and Camille, The Wild Robot’s Kris Bowers, and Wicked’s John Powell and Stephen Schwartz.

The Emilia Pérez musicians, Ducol and Camille, have a lot of opportunities to win an Academy Award tonight, as they are also nominated for Best Original Song. They wrote two of the nominees—“El Mal” and “Mi Camino”—in the five-song category. The other nominated songs are “Like a Bird,” the Sing Sing song written by Abraham Alexander and Black Pumas’ Adrian Quesada; Diane Warren’s The Six Triple Eight entry “The Journey”; and “Never Too Late,” a song for the Elton John film Elton John: Never Too Late that was made by John, Brandi Carlile, Andrew Watt, and Bernie Taupin.
