Oscars 2025: From Zoe Saldaña Speech To Adam Sandler's Bit, Most Iconic Moments Of The Oscars

The Oscars is, more than anything, an event that celebrates the best of the film industry. It's the event that cherishes the memories created by some of the best films and filmmakers currently out there. But that doesn't mean the Oscars can't make its own unique memories that we as an audience can cherish. In fact, the Oscars this year have had some truly iconic, hilarious, and beautiful moments.

Here are just a few of those iconic moments that will make the 97th Academy Awards a truly unforgettable event:

Margaret Qualley's Iconic Dance Number Followed By BLACKPINK Lisa's Descent Onto The Stage

When a tribute to James Bond was announced, most people expected to see a few memorable scenes from the Bond franchise on the big screen. What was unexpected was the beautiful dance number led by Margaret Qualley, followed by BLACKPINK Lisa's descent onto the stage to sing a portion of the song 'Live And Let Die' before giving the reigns to Doja Cat and Raye.

Timothee Chalamet Stands Out With His Butter-Yellow Suit, Called Out By Conan O'Brien

Timothee Chalamet usually already stands out in any crowd with his confidence and iconic smile. For this event filled with individuals that stand out in their own way, however, Chalamet went a step beyond, rocking a butter-yellow suit that captured everyone's attention on the internet and in the Oscars, including Conan O'Brien who commented, "Love that suit, you will not get hit on your bike tonight."

Adam Sandler Shows Up To The Oscars In The Most Adam Sandler Attire Possible

No matter what kind of role the actor takes up, Adam Sandler will always be a comedian at heart. Nothing shows that more than him deciding to wear a casual blue hoodie and basketball shorts at an event filled with designer suits and dresses. Conan O'Brien, being another comedian himself, couldn't ignore it, which led to one of the more hilarious moments of the show that lightened the mood for everyone and gave us as an audience someone to relate to.

Zoe Saldana Calls Out To Her Mother During Her Emotional Acceptance Speech For 'Best Supporting Actress'

While Zoe Saldana's entire acceptance speech for her 'Best Supporting Actress' award could be considered one of the most iconic moments of the event, it was the moment right before she started it which stayed in everyone's memory. As she got up on stage and walked over to the microphone, she waved and called out to her mother with tears in her eyes. It's a humbling moment that shows that even at one of the greatest heights of your career, you're never too old to want to be seen by your family.
