The 2025 Oscars turned out to be a golden night for Anora. The critically acclaimed indie took home five Oscars including Best Director, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay (all Sean Baker), Best Actress (Mikey Madison), and Best Picture. Anora won in every category it was nominated in except Best Supporting Actor (Yura Borisov) which went to Kieran Culkin as expected.
Emilia Pérez went into Hollywood’s Big Night with 13 nominations, winning in just two: Best Supporting Actress (Zoe Saldana) and Best Original Song. The Brutalist was recognized with three Oscars after earning 10 nominations. Wicked also earned 10 nominations and finished the night with two wins. And Dune: Part Two won the Achievement in Sound and Visual Effects Oscars out of its five nominations.
The show opened with a moving tribute to Los Angeles followed by Ariana Grande singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Cynthia Erivo performing “Home” from The Wiz, and Grande and Erivo dueting on “Defying Gravity” from Wicked. That opening alone made the 2025 Oscars worth watching.
Conan O’Brien kept the opening monologue focused on actors and films, and avoided politics throughout the show-for the most part. Two hours in when Anora was sweeping awards, O’Brien delivered his most memorable joke of the night, saying, “I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.”
Winners were announced during the 97th Oscars on Sunday, March 2, 2025.

CBS’s Tracker season two episode 11 dives into Reenie’s relationship with Elliot and finds Colter taking on a case involving one of Elliot’s clients. Bobby, played by Eric Graise, remains missing and Abby McEnany’s Velma doesn’t appear in the episode. Instead, Colter calls Randy, played by Chris Lee, for help with this week’s missing person.
(Spoilers ahead!)
Elliot (Michael Rady) visits Reenie (Fiona Rene) at work, bringing flowers and claiming she’s too busy to remember to spend time with her boyfriend. He easily convinces her to take a break, and things are getting hot and steamy when Elliot gets a call from a new client. It’s serious enough that Reenie calls Colter for help.
Colter (Justin Hartley) is still traveling the East Coast and agrees to head to New Jersey. Elliot’s client Ivy Hale is desperate to find her missing son, Matt. He’s 23, works at a tech investment firm in NYC, and hasn’t been seen since leaving his cell phone at his desk two days ago. Ivy is offering a $50,000 reward.
Elliot reveals Ivy owns Ivy Bakes and recently got in trouble with the IRS. And just a heads up: she’s really intense.
Colter meets Ivy (Amy Pietz) at an Ivy Bakes shop and learns that she knew something was wrong when Matt didn’t show up for their normal dinner date. She went to his office and discovered he just walked out of his job before lunch. Ivy’s certain something’s up.
Ivy’s employee and cousin, Casey (Reilly Dolman), butts in and she shuts him down. She tells Colter she only hired Casey because he’s family. But back to Matt, he’s seeing a married woman that Ivy doesn’t approve of.
Before Colter heads out, he speaks privately with Casey. Casey doesn’t think Matt’s serious about the married woman. Ivy and Matt recently had a fight about it, and Matt told his mom to stay out of his life. Apparently, Matt said he was going to take a trip with a couple of friends from work. Casey thinks Matt’s with them. He would have left his cell phone behind because Ivy forced him to share his location. Matt hated that. Casey thinks this is all a “screw you” to his mom.
Colter’s next stop is at Matt’s workplace. The receptionist is a huge flirt and escorts him into Matt’s office. She doesn’t think Matt would have just ditched work, but he did take long lunch breaks by himself. She logs into Matt’s system and they pull up photos showing Matt with a woman sporting a huge wedding ring. The receptionist says she’s seen the woman a few times with Matt and thinks they were having an affair.
Colter believes the photos were shot in a studio and the woman might be an artist. He calls Randy (Chris Lee), who’s still subbing in for Bobby, and asks for info on Lucy Anderhausen. Randy quickly pulls up the details, including that she’s been married for two years. She has a condo with her hubby and rents a condo that’s just hers. The husband’s not on the lease.
Colter stops by the condo and notices water seeping out under the door when she doesn’t respond to his knock. He busts in and discovers she’s tied up next to the bathtub that’s overflowing. She reveals Matt was upset when she picked him up. They returned to her place and a woman knocked on the front door when she went to take a bath. The woman and a man rushed in, and the woman put a gun to Lucy’s face. The man tackled Matt while the woman tied her up and threatened to shoot her. She describes them as Middle Eastern. The woman compared Matt to a photo on her phone and confirmed they had the right person.
Colter wonders if her husband’s involved, and Lucy confesses she and her husband separated after they realized they got married too quickly. Colter suggests she call the police, but Matt told her never to call the cops if something happened to him.
Lucy picked him up at a hotel, so the hotel is Colter’s next stop. He asks the desk clerk if she recognizes a photo of Matt. She claims she doesn’t, but it’s obvious she does. When Colter steps away, she calls someone to warn them someone’s looking for Ivy Hale’s kid.
The man she calls shows up at the desk, and Colter follows him through the employees-only area when he leaves. He’s spotted when he opens a room occupied by men counting large sums of cash. He gets into a fight with a couple of men and almost has the upper hand when a man with a gun orders him to put his hands up. Colter keeps asking for Matt and explains Ivy Hale has hired him to find her son.
The two men with guns, Pete (Richard de Klerk) and Vargas (J.J. Soria), decide it’s best to call their boss for help with the situation. Colter’s taken to the parking garage and meets with Rick Lindell, a business competitor of Ivy’s. Of course, the “business” has nothing to do with baked goods. Rick wonders why Colter thinks they took Matt, and Colter explains that he followed leads that led him to this hotel. Rick reveals that Ivy gets a cut out of every racket in East New Jersey.
The men tell Rick that Colter’s seen their backroom, which means he’s seen too much. Rick orders his men to get rid of Colter, which we obviously know isn’t going to go well for them. (Rick should have sent more than two armed men.) Vargas admits he knows Matt and that he’s a good kid.
Colter’s forced onto his knees but tosses dirt and disarms Pete. Vargas leaves Colter alive and shoots Pete. Vargas never liked Pete and claims Pete’s a psycho who liked killing people.
Vargas is going to tell his boss that Colter killed Pete. Colter figures out that Vargas is the guy who met Matt at the hotel. Vargas admits they were friends growing up, but parted ways. Matt’s not involved in Ivy’s shady business. Matt’s a numbers genius and kept his nose clean.
Matt texted Vargas from a burner number and they met at the hotel. However, it turns out Matt also got a text that neither of them sent. Something weird is going on. Colter thinks someone is trying to get the Lindells and the Hales into a war.
Matt’s kidnappers pull out one of his teeth and take a Polaroid.
Reenie confronts Elliot about sending Colter into an incredibly dangerous situation. Elliot claims he knew nothing about Ivy’s criminal activities and would never have sent Colter into danger. He thinks Ivy called him about Matt because he’s the lawyer who knows her the least in the firm.
Colter informs Ivy that he knows about her second career, and she claims she got word that the Lindells took Matt. They called her and also sent the polaroid. She will do things her way now and doesn’t need Colter. The job’s canceled. Ivy refuses to listen when Colter explains that some third party is trying to start a war between her and the Lindells.
Ivy confirms she’s heading to a subway station with a bag of cash to make the trade.
Reenie and Elliot arrive with Colter’s truck, and Reenie says Elliot didn’t know about Ivy’s real business. Elliot was only brought on to clean her books. Colter explains there’s about to be an all-out war and that Matt is going to be killed by whoever is instigating it. Elliot truly believes Ivy was attempting to go legit, so he was brought on to help her with her books.
They need to find Matt to stop the war. Colter heads to the subway station and calls Randy to see if he can find the burner phone that sent the texts and called Ivy to make the exchange. Randy determines the burner phone’s location, but it’s not near the subway. The phone is in an abandoned machinery plant, probably where they’re holding Matt. Colter can’t be at both locations, so he calls Lindell’s man Vargas to help out.
Ivy shows up at the subway and discovers Casey’s the one behind the kidnapping. He’s upset because she’s going legit, which means he’ll never be able to take over her business. Ivy thinks they can work something out, offering him a partnership in Ivy Bakes. Casey doesn’t want a part of the bakery; he wants the illegal stuff that’s the real moneymaker.
Ivy agrees to turn everything over as long as he releases Matt. Casey takes the money but isn’t about to release her or Matt. He’s ready to shoot her when Colter shoots him first. Casey races off with Colter hot on his tail. Casey has no idea who he’s up against and Colter gets him to drop the knife he’s holding. Casey warns Colter he’s already told his accomplices to kill Matt if he’s not back by midnight. However, Colter knows the location and has help on the way to free Matt.
Casey decides the best option is to jump for his knife, which landed on the subway tracks. He electrocutes himself, putting an end to his quest to take over Ivy’s business.
Colter called Vargas before he went to the subway, and Vargas makes it to the abandoned building and kills the couple holding Matt. Colter receives a text saying Matt’s free, and Ivy’s relieved she’s got her son back. She swears she’s going legit and only wants to protect her son from this shady business. Ivy hopes she gets it right this time.
Ivy tells Colter she owes him one, but Colter doesn’t think he’ll ever need a favor from her. Ivy replies, “Oh, everybody says that until they do.”
Episode 11 ends with Reenie joining Colter at his campsite. She delivers his $50,000 and since it was acquired illegally, Colter will give it to charity. Reenie invites Colter to join her and Elliot for their weekend of escape rooms. Colter turns her down, and Reenie passes on an apology from Elliot.
Reenie admits sometimes she and Elliot have to work for dangerous clients. Colter warns Reenie to be careful before handing her a beer.

Paramount+’s 1923 season two episode two moves Spencer just a tad bit closer to Montana while Alex battles sea sickness as she heads to New York. The brutal winter isolates the Yellowstone Ranch, leaving it vulnerable to wolves and mountain lions. Episode two also briefly checks in on Teonna in Texas and on Marshal Kent’s obsessive manhunt.
(Spoilers ahead!)
All of Banner’s sheep have died, and Whitfield can only chuckle, noting Banner killed men to save his flock and they died anyway. “All it took was a worm to destroy everything you fought for,” says Whitfield. Whitfield eyes fill with dollar signs as he envisions a new income stream while watching his Norwegian mine workers ski down the mountain.
Over in Bozeman, Commissioner Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) and Sheriff McDowell (Robert Patrick) meet with Judge Roy Garrett (Patrick Burch) to discuss Zane and Alice’s legal problems. The judge has already found Alice guilty of cohabiting with a Caucasian man. All that’s left is determining her sentence and the disposition of her children. No matter what he decides, it will mean the children (or mongrels, as he calls them) will cost the state money. Plus, Zane’s costing money while being cared for at the county hospital.
Jacob offers to take in all of them. They’ll stay at the Yellowstone and avoid going into town. Roy agrees but warns that if anyone sees them together in public, they will be jailed. However, Alice needs to identify the priest who married them before Roy will release any of them.
Jacob tells the judge that his limit has been reached. He sniffs a coffee cup, passes it to Sheriff McDowell, and then grabs a bottle from the judge’s drawer. “We’ll tell you the name of the preacher when you give us the name of our liquor contact,” growls Jacob. McDowell threatens to take Roy in, and Roy immediately signs the release order.
Jacob and Jack head to the hospital to retrieve Zane (Brian Geraghty). Jacob’s dead set against spending another night in town, even if it means they’ll have to endure a blizzard on the ride home. Zane’s in horrible shape and the doctors haven’t done anything to treat him. He claims that if he stands up, he feels excruciating pain in his head. Jacob sends Jack to get Zane’s wife and kids. After he leaves, Zane confesses he doesn’t know why the town turned on his family. Jacob confirms it was all Whitfield’s doing. When spring arrives, they’ll go after him.

The Winter and Wild Animals Torment Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) makes the hike to the henhouse and discovers all the chickens are dead. A wolf is still busy eating and Elizabeth slams the door, racing through the snow. It’s much faster than she is and bites her leg before a cowboy, Spade, fires a few shots, missing the wolf but scaring it away. It only goes a couple hundred feet before turning around to stare at Elizabeth, face blood-soaked.
Cara (Helen Mirren) carves some meat and grabs a few of the remaining vegetables and eggs from the icehouse. She’s just emerging from the underground storage when Elizabeth’s brought back to the house. Cara sends Spade off to fetch the doctor, even with a blizzard threatening to arrive soon. Cara’s justifiably worried that the wolf was rabid since it attacked a human during the day. If so, Elizabeth is going to need shots.
The blizzard hits, making it impossible for Jacob and his men to see their way through the woods. They’re forced to pull up next to the pines and flip the wagon over. Once it’s turned upside down, there’s room inside for everyone to huddle together and stay out of the wind and snow. The horses are allowed to run free; if left tied up they’d freeze to death. The horses will find lower ground and then, hopefully, the cowboys can locate them once it’s safe to travel.
Cara waits by the fire, worried about Jacob and the men and waiting for Dr. Miller and his nurse to arrive. Dr. Miller inspects Elizabeth’s wound and agrees with Cara, they can’t take any chances and need to start treatment. Elizabeth will need 12 very painful shots in her stomach over the next 10 days to combat rabies. Elizabeth refuses the shots, and she’s held down while Dr. Miller administers the first one. It’s for her own good.
Dr. Miller and the nurse are forced to spend the night, and Cara has a room set up for the doctor. The nurse volunteers to sleep downstairs on the couch. While retrieving blankets, Cara hears Elizabeth sobbing. Elizabeth loves her husband, but this isn’t living; it’s just surviving. Cara attempts to convince her that everything will be better in the spring, but Elizabeth insists that when the storm passes, she’s going home.
Cara wakes from sleep after hearing a thud and a scream. She grabs her rifle and heads downstairs. Snow blankets the living room as she makes her way cautiously through the house. Elsa’s voice-over began the episode by explaining that only fire has a more destructive effect on the mountain than a blizzard. Elsa picks up the narration, saying hell is winter, a bitter cold that “ruptures lungs and rapes your sanity.” Cara discovers the wolf has broken into her house and has killed and eaten the nurse. It lunges toward her, mouth smeared with blood, and Cara fires.

Teonna Continues to Evade the Law
Teonna (Aminah Nieves) and Pete (Jeremy Guana) return to camp after spending the night alone and Runs His Horse (Michael Spears) knows exactly what his daughter was up to. Pete fills him in on the cowboy they ran into and that they’re currently camped in Texas on a ranch. Runs His Horse is confused, believing this area still belongs to Quanah Parker. Pete explains Parker’s people moved on, but the ranch doesn’t mind if they camp out on their land.
Runs His Horse wants to leave, but Teonna thinks they should help the cowboys look for strays in exchange for staying. Teonna’s dad decides to track the cowboy and speak with the rancher. He advises his daughter and Pete to stay hidden.
Meanwhile, Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché) and Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) arrive in Anadarko, Oklahoma, still attempting to locate Teonna. Kent, a racist misogynist, is stunned to discover Marshal Fossett (Jennifer Carpenter) is in charge. He can’t believe she patrols this territory and Fossett calls him “a bigot living in the wrong century.” She threatens to toss him out and Father Renaud’s forced to take over the conversation. He shows Fossett a photo of Teonna and her classmates, and explains she murdered at least five people. They believe she’s running with renegades from the Crow agency.
Fossett has her assistant, Esther, draw a sketch of Teonna that can be used on wanted posters. She warns Kent to tread lightly. Oklahoma is not Montana.
That night, Kent, Father Renaud, and Marshal Thomas (Ross Crain) discuss the future of Indians around a campfire. Kent can’t believe Republicans want to grant Indians full United States citizenship rights, but Father Renaud believes it’s inevitable. Father Renaud insists he loves the Indians who choose to assimilate. He also supports interracial marriage.
Their conversation ends when Marshal Thomas is shot with an arrow. Kent and Renaud take cover and Kent forces Renaud to take a gun. They shoot and kill their attackers, including a small child. One man’s injured and tries to crawl away, and Kent mercilessly finishes him off.

Spencer Returns to the States
Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) and Luca (Andy Dispensa) help move boxes of alcohol onshore in Galveston. Spencer and Luca look totally out of place as they walk through Luca’s uncles’ ritzy hotel. Luca’s greeted warmly by Maceo and he introduces Spencer as the man who saved his life. Luca told Maceo that Spencer likes to fight, and Spencer quickly corrects that. People think he’s trouble, and Spencer’s forced to defend himself.
Maceo wants to host a celebration but right now Spencer just wants to eat. He’s handed his first-ever slice of pizza and the chef stops him when he uses a fork. Spencer takes a bite and loves it.
He asks Maceo’s man, Angelo, to show him to a telegraph office so he can contact his family. The man thinks there’s no rush, but Spencer knows every minute counts. Mission accomplished, Spencer attempts to leave but Angelo assures him Maceo has set him up with a room for the night and a fancy dinner. If Spencer refuses the offer, Maceo will be insulted.
Spencer knocks Angelo out when he tries to stop him from leaving. He sets out walking, but the train station’s miles away. Night falls, and Maceo’s men surround him on a bridge. They deliver a ruthless beating. He’s taken back to the hotel and Maceo can’t believe Spencer turned down his hospitality. Spencer reminds him he never asked for it and doesn’t want it. He only wants to get home to Montana to help his family fight for their land. Spencer says his family’s losing their war over their land and Maceo can relate to that. However, Spencer disrespected him and that needs to be dealt with.
Maceo believes he can trust Spencer since he’s a man with a cause. He’s prepared to give him something to help him get to Montana. Maceo has a truck loaded with whiskey and gives Spencer instructions on where to deliver it in Fort Worth. Spencer will travel on the roads Maceo controls, and he can keep the truck when he’s done. Luca will return home by train. Maceo hands him money for bribes in case they run into a roadblock. He also gives him a pistol for those cops who can’t be bribed.

Nothing About Alexandra’s Journey to America is Easy
The ship’s rocked in a storm, and everyone in tourist class clings to their bunks while tossing their cookies. Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) thinks about a letter she wrote Spencer, informing him she’s heading to him, driven by a dream to have his arms around her and their bodies pressed together.
OA’s stuck on a train and needs to conceal his identity on CBS’s FBI season seven episode 14, “Hitched.” Directed by Alex Chapple from a script by Mae Smith, episode 14 will air on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at 8pm ET/PT.
Missy Peregrym stars as Special Agent Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki plays Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, Jeremy Sisto is Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, and Alana De La Garza is Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille. John Boyd plays Special Agent Stuart Scola and Emily Alabi is Agent Dani Rhodes.
“Hitched” Plot: When a passenger train is hijacked and rerouted while at high speed with an unarmed OA and Gemma on board, the team races to wrest control away from the unhinged perpetrators and prevent a catastrophe. Comfort Clinton returns to guest star as Gemma.
FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect, and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe. Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, a West Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI.
Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority. The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator.

The network’s premiere date announcements were accompanied by descriptions of the upcoming seasons:
“Accused: Guilty or Innocent? follows the dramatic inside stories—as they unfold—of people facing trial for serious crimes they allegedly committed. The acclaimed true crime series offers an extraordinary and compelling account of what happens when someone is formally charged with a crime and sent to trial—all solely from the perspective of the accused, their legal team and family members.
Each episode follows the accused person’s journey from the planning of their legal defense, their appearances in court, to ultimately, awaiting justice. As evidence mounts and the trial approaches, these emotional stories provide an unprecedented look at what happens when your freedom is on the line.
Unlike the original series, Accused: Did I Do It? will focus on cases that have already been fully adjudicated, following the high-stakes stories of individuals who stood trial and are facing charges for serious offenses such as first-degree murder, manslaughter, domestic terrorism, and aggravated assault. Every piece of evidence may lead to an answer, but the truth is never quite clear until the final moment of reveal.
Intimately filmed in prisons and homes across the US, the location of the accused is kept a mystery as the story unfolds. Key turning points, evidence, and decisions that led to charges and eventual verdicts are pieced together with nail-biting testimony, explosive trial footage, and interviews with their defense attorneys and family members.”

Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decided to convert Woodstone Mansion, which Sam inherited, into a bed & breakfast – only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home.
The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Danielle Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Brandon Scott Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Sheila Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Richie Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Asher Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Román Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Sam’s ancestor (Rebecca Wisocky), to name a few. The opening of the B&B has been a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they will gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant.
