BMI Congratulates its 2025 Oscar Nominees

BMI is proud to congratulate our composers and songwriters who have been nominated for Academy Awards in this year's categories for Best Original Song. Winners will be announced at the 97th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, which will air on March 2 on ABC.

This year, the Academy Awards Best Original Song category presentation is moving away from live performances and focusing on the nominated songwriters behind the songs.

Congratulations to all! Below are this year's BMI nominees.
