Oscars 2025 viewers call award show a 'snoozefest' as they slam repetitive jokes and 'corny' speeches

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Oscars 2025 have recently concluded with ‘Anora’ emerging as the most successful film with five big award wins. 

Despite the 97th Academy Awards having a number of high moments, the ceremony, held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Sunday, March 2, failed to impress a majority of the fans as they called out the Academy for hosting one of the most “boring” Oscars ever. 

Not only did the fans criticize the ceremony for being a “snoozefest,” but viewers were also left unimpressed with the steady flow of lame jokes and curtailed award-winning speeches from the winners, reported Daily Mail.

The 2025 Oscars concluded with ‘Anora’ and ‘The Brutalist’ landing big wins

Some of the biggest productions of the year, including ‘Dune: Part Two’, ‘Wicked’, ‘Emilia Perez’, ‘Conclave’, ‘The Brutalist’, and 'Anora' were competing for the top honors at this year’s Academy Awards. 

At the end of the night, ‘Anora’ emerged as the most successful movie with five big awards, including Best Picture, Best Leading Actress for Mikey Madison and Best Director for Sean Baker. Madison’s win also came at the expense of Demi Moore, who was competing for the Best Actress honor for her career-turning role in ‘The Substance’. 

Apart from Madison’s Best Actress win, Adrien Brody’s Best Actor honor for ‘The Brutalist’ also left a section of the fans disheartened as he beat the efforts of Timothee Chalamet in ‘A Complete Unknown’. 

While Kieran Culkin took home the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in ‘A Real Pain’, Zoe Saldana emerged victorious for her role in ‘Emilia Perez’ for the Best Actress in a Supporting role. 

Despite the criticism, however, the Oscars - hosted by Conan O’Brien - did have its high points, including the 'Deadpool’ act, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's touching performance, and Timothee Chalamet’s adorable PDA with girlfriend Kylie Jenner. 

Social media users call out Oscars 2025 for being 'boring'

As the 97th Academy Awards aired, fans were left dissatisfied with this year's ceremony as many of them dubbed the ceremony to be "boring" and called it a "snooze fest."

One of the social media users declared online, "The oscars were highkey boring af everything was so rushed and there was like no bits or skits or jokes in the middle they just wanted to get it over with 😭."

Someone else claimed, "This was the worst #oscars. Please consider a new producer and script writer," before emphasizing, "It was slow and boring. I turned it off. @TheAcademy."

Someone else noted, "This is probably the most boring oscars in a long time."

Another disheartened fan wrote, "Also it was just like…a really boring Oscars."

Someone else remarked, "This ain't it for the Oscars! Awkward ceremony, monologues/jokes felt off, and it's 3 hours in and we still have a ways to go. They really need to fix it."

"Felt weird to see the oscars at night was as unnatural as it was boring," added someone else. 

One individual firmly declared, "Oscars and a lot of their selection was a snoozefest this year they could've at least slapped somebody to make it interesting."

"I rather watch a good movie than the #Oscars ceremony again," shared one fan, before adding, "I gave a shot but no more. It was so so boring and repetitive. Full of ridiculous musical numbers and corny speeches."

"This was such a boring oscars (besides a few wins) like see y'all next year i guess," added another user.
