Meet the Oscars class of 2025, (mainly) all smiling and sitting up straight for the annual class photo. It's a chance for first-time hopefuls and up-and-coming talent to mingle with the biggest stars and award veterans,

Ariana Grande, Timothée Chalamet and Demi Moore were among the Oscar nominees who gathered in Los Angeles on Tuesday for the annual "class photo". Ahead of the Academy Awards on Sunday (2 March), the nominees from all categories were invited to mingle over dinner and cocktails, as an eventful awards race reaches its conclusion.

The stars were out for an Oscar nominee event held Tuesday. The Academy opted to hold a dinner for nominated artists prior to this Sunday’s Academy Awards instead of the annual luncheon, which had been canceled in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year.

Nominees for the 97th Academy Awards gathered at the Academy Museum to keep up the annual tradition of taking a class photo of the year’s contenders.
