2025 Oscar Nominees: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at This Year’s Star-Studded Class Photo!

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences celebrated the nominees for the 2025 Oscars with a special dinner at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. This event allowed nominees to gather for the first time and pose for the official class photo, a tradition that typically happens at the Oscars Nominees Luncheon.

At the dinner, nominees such as Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, known for their work in “Wicked,” sat together in the front row. Other notable actors like Adrien Brody, Colman Domingo, and Sebastian Stan were also present, sharing the center back row. Timothée Chalamet, recognizable and popular, was photographed on the far left, just behind Sean Baker and Samantha Quan.

Originally scheduled for February 10, this year’s nominees luncheon was canceled due to wildfires in Los Angeles, affecting the event timeline. The nominations were finally announced on January 23.

The evening included a pre-dinner reception, a group photo, and then a delightful dinner. All the excitement is building up to the Oscar ceremony, which will take place on March 2. Fans can catch the live broadcast on ABC and stream it on Hulu, with Conan O’Brien as the host.
