Check Out the 2025 Oscar Winners Including Oscar in Movie, Oscar in Best Actor

The 2025 Oscars were true! See the 2025 Oscar winners. Enora took home Best Picture. Maci Madison and Adrien Brody won the top acting prizes.

Published: March 18, 2025, 4:00 am

Anora came out on top in the 97th Academy Awards, a tense dramatic that won the hearts of audiences and critics alike. Its director, Sean Baker, made the history of winning four Oscars in a single night for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing. This accomplishment also tied him for most wins at a ceremony with Walt Disney for his record in 1954, however Disney’s awards were not all for one project. 

Mikey Madison’s Best Actress Anora win in Anora was a bit unexpected, as many thought Demi Moore would get the win for The Substance. Her win was a demonstration of the increasing recognition of new faces in the Academy. Also winning in the Best Supporting Actor category was Kieran Culkin for A Real Pain, with Zoe Saldaña receiving Best Supporting Actress for Emilia Pérez.

The event was more comical and sentimental, but still managed to draw an audience of 19.7 million, with live streaming on Hulu for the first time. Follow our live blog below for the very latest from the Oscars 2025, with all nominees listed below.

Peacemaker Season 2 Finale Explained: Why Jennifer Holland Calls the Ending “Heartbreaking in Retrospect”

Find out how Peacemaker Season 2 ends on a heartbreaking note. Jennifer Holland reveals the emotional finale that sets up James Gunn's new DC Universe.

Written by: Alpana

Peacemaker Season 2

Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 8 Full Nelson brought a rare achievement in genre TV, it provided a gratifying emotional payoff for the central characters that also ended with an apocalyptic, brink- of- war cliffhanger with ramifications for the entire DC Universe. This narrative paradox is exactly the reason why star Jennifer Holland, who plays Emilia Harcourt, referred to everything as “heartbreaking in retrospect”. Her appraisal captures the uneasy duality of James Gunn’s filmmaking in which real emotional breakthroughs are all too often punished by the brutal requirements of survival and franchise restructuring. 

The Emotional Fallout: The Complex Bond Between Harcourt and Peacemaker

While the final episode was more focused on “smaller, character moments” that were designed to provide emotional closure, it also featured critical, major revelations that shaped the DCU. The perceived heartbreak is because Holland’s character, Emilia Harcourt, and her team, the “11th Street Kids” believe Chris Smith/Peacemaker (John Cena) gave himself up to A.R.G.U.S.. Holland later spoke about the emotional torment of this scenario, in particular discussing the “heartbreak of none of them knowing that Chris was kidnapped”. 

Harcourt and Peacemaker

The resulting effect is one of supreme narrative irony. The season expertly resolved the emotional complexity between Chris and Harcourt. Harcourt, who is defined by her trauma and fear of intimacy, actually exposed herself. But the external story cruelly supplants that hard won trust with the heavy gravity of perceived abandonment. The team manages to bail Chris out of prison, only to learn he’s already gone. They are to surmise that Chris went and left them immediately after their connecting on such an emotional level. This isn’t the grief of mourning a death, but the pain of a betrayal, maximizing the tragic payoff, and ensuring that Harcourt’s future arc will be driven by this unexpurgated pain and misunderstanding. 

A Heartbroken & Devastating Ending of Season 1

The near-fatal shooting Harcourt suffered in the Season 1 finale (during the battle with the Butterflies at Coverdale Ranch) left the character deeply scarred both physically and mentally, setting up her complicated return in Season 2. “The Harcourt and Peacemaker tension is very personal trauma,” Holland explained. After her near-death experience, Harcourt came back, according to Holland, “not operating the way she” was, still pushing people away as a mental defense mechanism. The whole of season 2 was about gradually tearing those walls down to nothing, so the final banishment is a particularly vitriolic reward for her emotional journey.

The Truth Behind the “Night on the Boat” Flashback Explained

Now, in a flashback sequence, the storyline finally gave us the truth about the hinted-at “night on the boat,” which served as crucial motivation behind their secretive relationship. The sequence allowed Chris and Harcourt, as DC Comics rivals, to commiserate over professional frustrations at the DC Comics sandwich shop Big Belly Burger, and together they stumble upon a bizarre 90s rock trivia question: a “rock cruise” with the band Nelson. Two enjoyed what was called a “magical, world-shattering, panoramic kiss.” This was, without a doubt, a “pivotal turning point” for their relationship. 

James Gunn’s Vision: How the Finale Sets Up the New DCU Chapter One

The finale’s structure was ultimately defined by the necessity of setting up DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Regarding a potential third season, Gunn was clear it was not planned “at the moment,” stating: “This is about the wider DCU and other stories this will play out right now.” 

James Gunn’s Vision

Gunn said the Season 2 finale specifically aims to “set up the world of the 2027 DCU cinematic feature, Man of Tomorrow“. As DC Studios co-CEO, Gunn said his focus is “propping up and maintaining and repositioning the big diamond properties that DC has,” like Batman and Superman, but also taking lesser-known characters such as Peacemaker — and creating new “diamond properties” within the franchise. 

Will There Be a Peacemaker Season 3?

This demand was why the final episode felt like an “extended teaser” or “backdoor pilot for other DCU projects,” as some critics observed. The narrative goal of the end of Season 2 was assimilation, not resolution. Tying up the Salvation cliffhanger in a third season of the TV show may have conflicted with or undermined the timeline set out in the slate of movie. When they left Chris to perish, his rescue, and what that would mean for him, had to happen in a big DCU event, and that meant the TV series prologue to the films. Although Gunn is still tight-lipped on whether Peacemaker will make an appearance in Man of Tomorrow or Supergirl, he has dropped a hint that Chris Smith’s next outing in the cinematic universe is a safe bet. 

Conclusion

Jennifer Holland’s characterization of the Peacemaker Season 2 finale as “heartbreaking in retrospect” is a wonderful encapsulation of the narrative needs the series is forced to cater to with the wider franchise restructuring. The heartbreak is not just the breach of physical separation between Peacemaker and Harcourt but that their emotional walls are torn down only for the new connection to be severed by perceived betrayal. While Peacemaker Season 3 is on hold, the characters’ narratives—now driven by Harcourt’s grief and resolve—are officially at the center of the upcoming cinematic universe.
