At the Oscars 2025, the nominees will not occur themselves for the best song.
The 97th awarding of the Academy Awards on March 2, 2025 in the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles promises to offer an impressive musical program for the audience. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, the leading actresses of the film musical “Wicked”, which was considered with ten nominations, have a special performance. In addition, Doja Cat, Lisa from Blackpink, Queen Latifah and Raye, perform to ensure musical highlights at the Oscars 2025.
Oscars 2025: There is an innovation
A remarkable change this year affects the “Best Song” category: the nominated songs are not listed live. Instead, the songwriter present personal insights and backgrounds to their works.
In the “Best Song” category, Elton John and Brandi Carlile compete with “Never Too Late”. Volker Bertelmann is nominated for “Conclave” for “best film music”; He won an Oscar for “nothing new in the West” three years ago.
The Oscar ceremony will take place in the night from March 3 to March 3 in the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The nominees of the music categories at the Oscars 2025 at an overview:
Best film music

Mi Camino – Emilia Perez
Never Too Late – Elton John: Never Too Late
Karla Sofía Gascón: Controversy Oscar chance
The Oscar nominated in the best leading actress category, Karla Sofía Gascón, can hardly be seen on the social posts and posters of the Award campaign for “Emilia Pérez”. Instead, Zoë Saldaña is increasingly visible, which is also listed for an Oscar as the best supporting actress.
The reason for this could be the earlier statements of Islamophobic and racist nature of the actress on X. Karla Sofía Gascón now apologized publicly – she has nevertheless been removed from the advertising campaign as a protagonist. According to “Variety”, Karla Sofía Gascón was allegedly excluded from any communication by Netflix and the PR company. She would only be taught by news about the middleman of the “United Talent Agency” Jeremy Barbar. In addition, “Netflix” allegedly no longer finances the flights to the award shows or their styling for the events. According to reports, she will still be part of the Oscars 2025.
