The 2025 Oscars have been marked by several notable moments, including the nomination of Emilia Pérez for 13 awards, the most of any film and a record for the most nominations ever earned by a non-English-language film. The ceremony has also been affected by the devastating California wildfires, with the marketing company behind the goody bags handed out at the Oscars tweaking its offerings to reflect the disaster. The goody bags include more than $1m worth of personalized disaster recovery services, the offer of complimentary home renovation project management, and cannabis products, among other treats.

The red carpet has seen a range of stunning outfits, with celebrities such as Demi Moore, Lupita Nyong'o, and Scarlett Johansson turning heads with their choices. Demi Moore's daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah Willis, also made a rare family appearance on the red carpet, showing their support for their mother, who was nominated for Best Lead Actress for her role in The Substance. The ceremony has been a celebration of the best in film, with a range of talented performers and nominees recognized for their achievements.

Quotes

May all that have life be delivered from suffering - By Gautama Buddha

Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that's why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that's why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living. - By Alysha Speer

What it means to be human is to bring up your children in safety, educate them, keep them healthy, teach them how to care for themselves and others, allow them to develop in their own way among adults who are sane and responsibile, who know the value of the world and not its economic potential. It means art, it means time, it means all the invisibles never counted by the GDP and the census figures. It means knowing that life has an inside as well as an outside. And I think it means love. - By Jeanette Winterson, The Stone Gods

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent. - By Marilyn Monroe

Things don't always work out the way we hope. You just have to pick yourself up and find a new direction to go in. - By Joelle Charbonneau, The Testing

Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear. - By Jalaluddin Rumi
