Smile please!: The Oscar stars pose for the "class photo"

Please smile! The Oscar stars pose for the "class photo" 26.02.2025, 12:53

It's a beloved tradition. A few days before the Oscar ceremony, the nominated film stars come together for a group photo. This invites you to search for certain faces, like in a hidden object picture.

Only a few days left until the 97th Academy Awards will be presented on the night of March 3. This year, too, all of the nominated stars and filmmakers will meet shortly before the prestigious event to pose together at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles for the traditional Oscar "class photo". For film fans, this is an exciting hidden picture game to spot their favorites at this year's awards ceremony.

Numerous nominated actors and actresses have made themselves comfortable, especially in the front and back rows. One not to be overlooked is "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo, who has taken a seat in the front row in an all-gold dress. Sitting next to the nominated leading actress is her "Wicked" colleague Ariana Grande, who can hope for an Oscar in the "Best Supporting Actress" category.

Zoe Saldaña was also placed at the front in an elegant, dark red dress. She is fighting for the golden boy for her supporting role in "Emilia Pérez". To her right and in a dark blue, off-the-shoulder dress is Mikey Madison, who is nominated for best actress thanks to "Anora".

Almost 170 people

In the back seats, one group of men in particular stands out. Adrien Brody, Colman Domingo and Sebastian Stan are positioned next to each other. They are all competing for the "Best Actor" category: Stan for his performance in the Trump film "The Apprentice", Domingo for "Sing Sing" and Brody for "The Brutalist". On the far left and a little apart from the trio sits Ralph Fiennes, who is also in the running for the lead actor award for "Conclave".

Right in the middle of the back row, Guy Pearce and Demi Moore form a contrasting couple. He is dressed entirely in dark blue, she is dressed from head to toe in white. Pearce is nominated as a supporting actor for "The Brutalist," Moore as a leading actress for "The Substance."

And where can we find Timothée Chalamet among the almost 170 people in the photo? The lead actor of the Bob Dylan biopic "Like A Complete Unknown" is sitting almost a little isolated in the third row from the back and on the very left edge.
