Wild conspiracy theory compares Oscars 2025 set design to Freemason logo: 'Will be their downfall'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 97th Academy Awards lit up the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on March 2, 2025, under the grand theme of a "celebration of connection."

But it wasn’t long that 2025 Oscars had conspiracy theorists buzzing across social media, attributing the stage design to the Freemason logo.

Oscars 2025 stage design sparks Freemason symbolism conspiracy theory

As the ceremony unfolded, social media users sparked widespread speculation whether the stage design looked familiar to the Freemason logo

Influencer Shadow of Ezra fueled the fire with a post on X, where he shared a side-by-side image of the Oscars 2025 set and the Freemason emblem, captioning it, “Does the Oscars set resemble the Freemason logo?”

The post ignited a frenzy of theories, with some users diving deep into symbolic interpretations, while others dismissed the comparison as a mere coincidence.

However, despite the growing whispers online, there is no verifiable source confirming any direct link between the Oscars 2025 stage design and Freemasonry.

A deeper look into Freemason symbolism

To understand the comparisons, one must first explore the significance of Freemasonry and its most well-known symbols.

According to freemason.com, Freemasonry is one of the oldest fraternal organizations in the world, bringing together individuals of different backgrounds who believe in the “fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind.”

The fraternity operates through a system of degrees, symbols, and teachings aimed at moral and personal development.

Among its most recognizable symbols is the square and compasses, which consists of three main elements.

Firstly, the Square-A builder’s tool forming a 90-degree angle, symbolizing morality, honesty, and fairness.

Secondly, the Compasses - representing self-restraint, balance, and the ability to live with moderation.

Lastly, the Letter 'G'- often associated with geometry, a core principle in stonemasonry, and sometimes interpreted as a symbol for God or the “Great Architect of the Universe.”

Each of these elements is rich in meaning, promoting integrity, discipline, and spiritual enlightenment.

The use of architectural tools as guiding principles aligns with Freemasonry’s deep connection to craftsmanship and structure—both literally and metaphorically.

Fans wonder if Oscars 2025 stage was coincidence or hidden symbolism

One fan chimed in, "Turn it upside down. Looks like an evil face."

A follower remarked, "It does and illuminati symbol combined."

One comment declared, "Sure. Lot’s of pyramid and eye of Horus type s**t as well."

Another observed, "They wouldn't have any other way."
