March 3rd 2025.
The 2025 Academy Awards were truly a night to remember. It had everything one could hope for - hilarious comedy, buzz-worthy reunions, unexpected performances, and groundbreaking wins. From the moment Conan O'Brien stepped on stage with his fearless opening monologue, the audience knew they were in for a ride. And what a ride it was, with viral moments happening left and right.
One of the most talked-about moments of the night was Timothée Chalamet's bold fashion statement. The young actor turned heads in a head-to-toe yellow leather suit, sparking a wave of memes and comparisons. Some joked that he was auditioning for the role of Curious George's Man in the Yellow Hat, while others said he looked like a human-sized stick of butter. But in reality, the outfit was a Givenchy creation. Even O'Brien couldn't resist poking fun at Chalamet's look, joking that at least he wouldn't get hit by a car that night.
But the fashion wasn't the only source of humor that night. O'Brien, who was hosting the Oscars for the first time, didn't shy away from addressing controversial topics. One of these topics was Karla Sofía Gascón, whose chances of winning an award were dashed due to old tweets resurfacing. O'Brien playfully joked about her use of the F-word, saying that even "Anora" (the character she played) used it more times than Gascón's publicist did after reading her old tweets.
The audience erupted in laughter, and the camera cut to Gascón, who took it all in stride with a bow and a smile. O'Brien then added, "If you tweet about the Oscars tonight, my name is Jimmy Kimmel." It was all in good fun, and Gascón showed she had a great sense of humor about it.
Another unforgettable moment of the night was when Adrien Brody and Halle Berry recreated their infamous kiss from the 2003 Oscars. The two actors, who made headlines for their unexpected smooch that night, shared a playful embrace before locking lips once again. Berry later joked that she had to pay Brody back, saying he deserved it. The Academy even called it "a reunion 22 years in the making."
But it wasn't just about fashion and humor at the 2025 Oscars. The night also saw some history-making wins and emotional speeches. The Latvian film Flow became the first of its kind to win Best Animated Feature, with O'Brien jokingly challenging Estonia to step up their game. Paul Tazewell also made history as the first Black winner for Best Costume Design for his work on Wicked. And Zoe Saldaña celebrated being the first American of Dominican descent to win an Oscar, confidently declaring that she wouldn't be the last.
But perhaps the most moving moment of the night was when the documentary No Other Land, which shed light on the destruction of Palestinian villages in the West Bank, won an Oscar. The co-director Basel Adra, who had just become a father, dedicated the award to his daughter, saying he hoped she wouldn't have to live the same life he was living now. The emotional speech left the audience in a hushed silence, a stark contrast to the lively and entertaining moments of the night.
From viral fashion moments to unforgettable speeches, the 2025 Oscars had it all. It was a night filled with drama, humor, and history-making moments that truly captured the spirit of Hollywood. And as the night came to an end, everyone knew that they had witnessed something special on that stage.
