Oscars 2025 Winners List: 'Anora' Wins Major Categories, Including Best Picture

Hollywood's biggest stars came together Sunday night to crown the Oscar winners of the 97^th Academy Awards, with "Anora" bagging multiple trophies.

The event wasn't even halfway through when Cynthia Erivo of "Wicked" delivered a powerful rendition of "Defying Gravity" as her co-star Ariana Grande looked on in support.

Erivo was among the nominees for Best Actress, while Grande was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress. On social platform X, fans expressed dismay over Erivo supposedly being "robbed" of the Best Actress award.
