See the A-List Celebrities from WA State Who Were Front and Center at the 2025 Oscars

One of my favorite Oscars warm-up activities is to find out which celebrities from Washington State will be there in Hollywood and if any of them are nominated for one of the big awards.

I am still reeling from the 2025 Oscars. It takes me at least a week to prepare for the Oscars because I have to carve out one hour to discuss all the red-carpet photos in my Facebook group chat, then three hours watching the awards show, plus one more hour watching all the YouTube reviews and after party scenes.

It was only a few years ago when Yakima, Washington-born Colleen Atwood won her FOURTH Oscar for her costume designs!

Even King5 News was excited to showcase our state's celebs who made it to the big Hollywood awards show this year. We had FIVE major celebs originally from WA who were present and accounted for in the nominees, audience, and after parties. Check out the gallery at the end to see them!

2025 OSCARS FUN FACT: Julian Brave Noise Cat made history as the first Indigenous film director to be recognized by the Academy of Arts & Sciences (he is a member of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation). His co-directed film, Sugarcane, was nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film.
