When Are the Oscars Held?

What’s Up Next for the Oscar Awards 2025?
The Critics Choice Awards, which were initially scheduled for January 12 but were postponed due to the fires in Los Angeles, are one of the big award shows that still need to happen before the Oscars. The British Academy Film Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards are two other forthcoming award shows that share membership with the Academy Awards and may predict the March Oscar winners. The BAFTAs air in the UK on February 16 and the SAG Awards on Netflix on February 23.
Important Background
The release of the Oscar nominees was postponed twice due to the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles, and the voting process was prolonged by a few days. Numerous celebrities, including Eugene Levy, Mel Gibson, Billy Crystal, and Anthony Hopkins, lost houses as a result of the devastating flames that devastated the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. Additionally, numerous film and television productions centered in Los Angeles were put on hold. Despite calls from some celebrities, such as Stephen King and Jean Smart, for the Oscars to be canceled due to the wildfires, The Hollywood Reporter last week quoted anonymous Academy officials as saying the show will still take place.
Tangent
The employment of artificial intelligence in “The Brutalist” and “Emilia Pérez,” two of the most prominent Best Picture nominees, caused criticism over the weekend. In an interview with the video technology publication Red Shark News, editor Dávid Jancsó stated that the editors of “The Brutalist” employed artificial intelligence (AI) to modify the actors’ Hungarian line delivery so they sounded more natural. Director Brady Corbet stated in a statement on Monday that the performers’ performances are “wholly their own” and that they spent months working with a dialect coach.
He also said the AI technology was utilized for “Hungarian language dialogue editing only, specifically to refine certain vowels and letters for accuracy.”In a May Cannes Film Festival interview that has lately made a comeback on social media, Cyril Holtz, the sound mixer for “Emilia Pérez,” claimed that the movie used artificial intelligence (AI) to change Gascon’s voice range. The contentious usage of AI in filmmaking was a major factor in the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes.
