The 97th Academy Awards took place on Hollywood’s biggest night, with joint favorites “Anora” and “Conclave” competing for the best picture prize, as host Conan O’Brien kicked off the show with a body horror skit. The first prize of the evening went to Kieran Culkin for best supporting actor in “A Real Pain.” The race for best picture is close between the polarizing “Anora” and the timely “Conclave.” Director Edward Berger highlighted the intrigue behind “Conclave,” while another potential contender is “The Brutalist,” a dark horse film about a Hungarian Jewish architect. Adrien Brody is a presumed favorite for best actor, but Timothee Chalamet could be a spoiler. Mikey Madison is a contender for best actress alongside Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres. The ceremony honored firefighters who battled deadly blazes in Los Angeles, with performances by Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Doja Cat, and Lisa from Blackpink. The gala streamed live on Hulu and ABC, reaching over 200 territories worldwide.
