DEMI Moore looked furious at the Oscars as she lost out on the Best Actress award to Anora’s leading lady Mikey Madison.

Hosted by comedian and TV personality Conan O’Brien, the 2025 Oscars saw highs and blows galore.

Demi could be seen gritting her teeth as her name wasn’t called – but she whispered “nice” while clapping the Hollywood newcomer, who picked up the coveted gong for her role as a sex worker who marries the son of an oligarch.

The biggest winner of the night was Anora, collecting five gongs including awards for Best Picture, Best Editing, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and of course, Best Actress.

Timothée Chalamet missed out on the Best Actor Oscar after playing Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, but he did get a kiss from girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

The prize went to Adrien Brody for his role in The Brutalist. And in a bizarre moment, Brody chucked his chewing gum at his girlfriend before collecting the statuette.

Emilia Perez actress Zoe Saldana broke down in tears on stage and screamed out to her mom after winning her maiden Academy Award gong for Best Supporting Actress.

There were tears all round when Morgan Freeman paid tribute to his friend Gene Hackman after the Superman actor died alongside his wife.

And in a blow for Wicked, tipped to take home a fleet of gongs, it snagged just two – for Best Costume Design and Production Design – which came after Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo performed at the coveted event.
