For the first time, late-night veteran Conan O’Brien hosted Hollywood’s biggest night, which marked the conclusion of an awards season deeply impacted by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires in January. The disaster, which left a significant mark on the entertainment industry, led to the cancellation of the annual nominees’ luncheon and adjustments to nomination deadlines.
The ceremony opened with a moving montage celebrating Los Angeles, culminating in a tribute titled We Love LA. The emotional tone continued with a stunning musical performance by Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, leaving the audience captivated.
Despite the challenges leading up to the event, organizers remained committed to moving forward with the show, emphasizing the industry’s resilience.
Heading into the night, Netflix’s genre-blending musical crime drama Emilia Pérez led the pack with 13 nominations, followed closely by the Wizard of Oz-inspired Wicked and The Brutalist, a period drama starring Adrien Brody as a Holocaust survivor-turned-architect, each securing 10 nods.
By the end of the evening, The Brutalist had claimed three awards, including Best Actor for Adrien Brody, while Wicked picked up two wins for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.
