Oscars 2025: Why Harrison Ford Dropped Out as a Presenter

Cynthia Erivo is that girl at the Oscars 2025. 

Heaven knows Wicked actress has had some jaw dropping looks amid the press run for the film adaptation, but her latest proves she actually is born for the rose and the pearl. As for the proof, the Broadway star donned a gorgeous dark green Louis Vuitton dress. (See every star who walked the red carpet here.)

The 38-year-old is ready to have her moment as she goes up against I’m Still Here’s Fernanda Torres, The Substance’s Demi Moore, Emilia Pérez’s Karla Sofía Gascon and Anora’s Mikey Madison for the Best Actress in a Leading Role accolade.  

But while the jury is still out on who will take home one of the night’s biggest honors, Cynthia already felt she defied gravity by receiving a nod.

“Moments like this don’t come along very often, and when they do, it is sacrilege to let them pass by without a moment of gratitude,” Cynthia wrote in a Jan. 23 Instagram post. “I am grateful, grateful to @theacademy, grateful to be a part of something that makes people feel seen, grateful to be a cog in the wheel of a piece that makes us believe in magic, grateful to have experienced a dream come true, and deeply, deeply grateful for this unbelievable recognition.”
