How to watch this year’s Oscars ceremony in New Zealand

It’s almost that time of the year again, when Hollywood’s biggest names glam up and congregate for their night of nights. This year’s Academy Awards ceremony will take place in front of a tragic background, with the Californian wildfires wreaking a horrible toll on Los Angeles.

But the 97th Oscars will nevertheless proceed, being held at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on (US time) Sunday March 2, 2025. This year’s host will be Conan O’Brien.

In New Zealand, the ceremony will be televised on Disney+ on Monday, March 3 from 12:30pm NZDT. 

The films nominated for Best Picture this year are:

Emilia Pérez
Wicked
The Brutalist
A Complete Unknown
Anora
The Substance
Dune: Part Two
I’m Still Here
Nickel Boys
Conclave
