Music and Hollywood collided in the most epic way, with Beyoncé and Jay-Z throwing their legendary Oscars after-party -- and, of course, the A-list crowd didn't disappoint.

The party lit up L.A.'s Chateau Marmont Sunday night, with Tina Knowles serving family glam, Keke Palmer making a fierce entrance, and Timothée Chalamet brushing off his Oscar loss -- though with Kylie Jenner by his side, he was still winning.

Vin Diesel was suited, booted, and revved up -- fast and furiously making his way into the star-studded soirée to party with Taraji P. Henson, Karrueche Tran, and more.

The Oscars weren’t just about the big-time names -- celebrations were widespread, and we caught up with the winners of one major category who seized the moment to drop some solid advice for the next gen.

Check it out -- Molly O'Brien, Lisa Remington, and the rest of the crew were all smiles, proudly dangling their Oscar out of their car window, shouting to us from the rooftops that they won Best Documentary Short Film for "The Only Girl in the Orchestra."

They told us they were an all-women team, making their win even more historic -- and you’ve got to check out the vid, because they also dropped some major wisdom on what it takes for female filmmakers to thrive in the industry.

The 2025 Academy Awards mark the end of another exciting awards season ... and, the A-listers in attendance brought their best to the biggest night in Hollywood.

Oscar nominee Demi Moore stunned in a sleeveless silver gown ... glittering under the bright lights of the carpet -- while Selena Gomez looked like a golden statue herself in a rose gold gown. Miley Cyrus showed off her slender frame in a black dress.

Timothée Chalamet brought a bit of sunshine in a handsome yellow suit while Ben Stiller dressed in a much more traditional black one. Jeff Goldblum showcased his own unique style in a white dinner jacket and a colorful, feathery undershirt

Kieran Culkin hinted he's about to be booked and busy ... in bed! The actor claimed his wife owes him two more children as part of a deal they made contingent on him winning an Oscar, which he secured at Sunday's show.

He put his wife Jazz Charton on the spot last night as he accepted his first-ever Academy Award for his supporting performance in "A Real Pain" onstage at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre  ... reminding her about the deal they made back in 2024 about having a third kid.

Apparently, she promised him a third child if he won an Emmy -- not thinking he would. He ended up taking home the trophy for best actor for HBO’s "Succession" in 2024.

Adrien Brody had to overcome a sticky issue involving chewing gum after he was announced the winner in the Best Actor category at the 2025 Academy Awards.

Brody attended Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood with his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, who saved the day after her man won the huge honor.

Check out video, which shows the moment Adrien walks toward the stage to accept his Oscar statue after Cillian Murphy announced his victory for his leading role as architect László Tóth in the film, "The Brutalist."

Michelle Trachtenberg was left out of the in memoriam segment of the Academy Awards just days after her shocking death -- and, fans aren't happy about it.

The in memoriam segment -- which kicked off with a touching tribute from Morgan Freeman to the recently deceased Gene Hackman -- paid tribute to many people who did pass away last year ... including Maggie Smith, James Earl Jones and David Lynch.

However, Michelle wasn't included among their ranks ... and, social media users are outraged by the snub.

Diane Warren has just joined an exclusive club she probably never wanted to be in ... 'cause she just tied the record for most Oscars losses without a win -- with a catch.

The singer-songwriter -- who was given an Honorary Academy Award back in 2022 -- was up for Best Original Song for her track "The Journey" from "The Six Triple Eight" ... but, she lost to "El Mal" from "Emilia Pérez."

The loss marked the 16th of Warren's career ... which ties her with sound engineer Greg P. Russell for most official nominations lost without ever winning a golden statue.

Giorgio Armani held a pre-Oscars soiree Saturday night ... bringing out a massive contingent of big-name stars to party hard, including Samuel L. Jackson and Adrien Brody.

TMZ obtained exclusive video from inside the Beverly Hills celebration, where Samuel and Adrien mingled with Kristen Bell, Georgina Chapman, Dolph Lundgren, and John Lithgow.

In the video you see Samuel laughing with party guests while John and Adrien also mingle inside and chat with guests.

Eiza Gonzalez, Madelyn Cline, and Lucas Gage were also part of the line up -- along with Cooper Koch, Natalia Bryant, Marsai Martin, Barry Frediani and LaKeith Stanfield.

Liam Payne was honored for his contributions to music and his lasting impact on the industry during a UK award show over the weekend.

During the BRIT Awards on Saturday, host Jack Whitehall honored LP saying ... "Last October, we woke to the devastating news that Liam Payne had tragically passed away."

He continued ... "He achieved so much in the short time that he was on this Earth, and was not only a supremely gifted musician, but an incredibly kind soul who touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with."

Hollywood's elite are warming up for the Oscars with pre-parties all over the city of Los Angeles ... with the best of the biz out to play ahead of the glitz and glam to come later tonight.

One of them was a massive shindig that went down Saturday night at a private mansion in Beverly Hills and major A-listers were on hand to celebrate including Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, Leo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Mick Jagger, Pamela Anderson, Goldie Hawn, Cara Delevingne, John Mayer, Jon Hamm and Michael Keaton.

Everyone wanted in on the big party ... autograph seekers and fans were seen outside the party trying to get pics with all of the stars as they came and went from the party for Hollywood's biggest night.

Also rubbing shoulders and mingling at the bash was Jenna Ortega, Joey King, Miles Teller, and Brandon Lee.

Diane Warren says if she finally wins an Oscar after her past 15 "Best Song" nominations this weekend, she'll probably collapse with excitement -- literally!

TMZ caught up with the legendary songwriter ahead of Sunday night's show, and Diane admits she’s not sure if she’ll have a speech ready if her song "The Journey" wins from the movie "The Six Triple Eight" -- joking she’ll probably not be conscious to hit the stage.

Jokes aside, Diane makes it clear you never know what could go down on the big night ... but she’s just grateful to be nominated.

Put your hands together, because Conan O'Brien's late-night looks deserve a frigin' Oscar!

Here is a 29-year-old version of the buttoned-up talk show host with coiffed hair at NBC's Press Conference for the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show back in 1993 (left). This was just the beginning of Conan's long-standing career.

And, more than three decades later Conan is still suited up, with his iconic pompadour hairstyle in New York City earlier this month (right).

Tonight will be O'Brien's first time hosting The Oscars, and we can guarantee he'll be bringing down the house with his humor ... but the question here is:

The 97th Academy Awards may have a hard time keeping up with legendary moments from the past but the night is young, so grab your seats and brace yourself for one of Hollywood's biggest nights!

Of course Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage quickly went viral back in 2022, as did the 2017 award mishap with "La La Land" and "Moonlight."

Heading back to 1963, actor and director Sidney Poitier became the first Black man to win an Oscar in the best actor category for his role in "Lilies of the Field."

The Oscars may be a time for celebrities to dress in their fanciest gowns and haute couture fashion ... but, The BRIT Awards are clearly a place for stars to play around with fashion -- and, many did just that.

While Sabrina Carpenter continued her award season style by channeling Old Hollywood glam and Teddy Swims wore an outfit completely comprised of stuffed animals -- though it may be hard for the star to use the restroom.

Millie Bobby Brown smoldered for the cameras in a low-cut silver gown ... pulling a hood from the outfit over her bleach-blonde hair.

Harrison Ford has had a change of plans ... and he will no longer be presenting at the Oscars after being diagnosed with shingles, TMZ has confirmed.

The "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" icon is skipping Sunday's big event altogether so he can rest at home.

Ford dropped out of the event Saturday morning ... EW was first to report the news.

Julia Roberts is in The City of Light ... and, her smile can light up a room -- 'cause she was grinning wide while walking into the César Awards in Paris!

The famed actress stepped out Friday for the ceremony wearing a chic black ensemble ... and, she looked to be enjoying her European vacay.

Roberts flashed her grin for photogs on her way into the building ... before she went inside to accept her Honorary César -- a lifetime achievement award from the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma.
