A look at the Oscars 2025

Despite the shocking success of the film and the associated important speeches, the Oscars show did not come without criticism. Many spectators criticized the slow pace of the event and the lack of dynamic performances, which led to a disappointing overall experience. In addition, actress Michelle Trachtenberg was not mentioned in the "In-Memoriam" segment, which met with incomprehension. The appearance of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who opened the show with a musical performance, was all the more gratifying.

The Oscars 2025 were not only characterized by artistic success, but also in the light of the severe fires in California, which move the events into a more serious context. "Emilia Perez" stands out with 13 nominations under the nominated films, but is about a controversial topic that could affect the opportunities of the film due to old tweets by the main actress Karla Sofía Gascón. The Oscars history could continue to change for the coming years, since the show will continue to be confronted with critical social issues in the future, as Tagesschau Notes.
