The 97th Academy Awards ceremony was held Sunday, 2 March at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. Emmy Award-winning television host, writer, producer and comedian Conan O’Brien hosted the ceremony for the first time. The official live red carpet pre-show led into the live televised broadcast on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide (ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX in the UK.) For the first time, the ceremony was also available to stream live on Hulu.
A number of records were broken at the ceremony. Flow became the first Latvian film and the first independent film to win Best Animated Feature. Paul Tazewell became the first Black man to win an Oscar for costume design. Zoe Saldaña is the first Dominican to win an Oscar for acting. I’m Still Here became Brazil’s first Oscar win. Adrien Brody broke a record by winning both his first and his second acting nominations in the Best Actor category (for The Pianist and The Brutalist). He also joined a rare club, becoming only the 10th man to win two Best Actor Oscars following Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Gary Cooper, Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn and Anthony Hopkins. Daniel Day-Lewis still holds the record with three wins. Some of the evening’s biggest laurels went to Anora, with Sean Baker now tying Walt Disney for the most Oscar wins in one night.
