The 2025 Oscars shone a light on the best talent and films of the last 12 months, with Mikey Madison, Adrien Brody, and Anora taking home the big gongs of the evening.
As ever, there was also no shortage of iconic moments either, with Adam Sandler rocking up in gym-casual, and Halle Berry recreating her infamous 2003 kiss with Brody, unexpectedly planting a smooch on him mid-red carpet - in front of his wife. 
When the show kicked off, there was a gravity-defying performance from Wicked actors Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, and a touching tribute to James Bond from Doja Cat, Raye, and BLACKPINK's Lisa.
But what's better than one Oscars red carpet? Two of course, and following the ceremony, stars headed to Vanity Fair's annual Oscars afterparty until the early hours.
