The 2025 Oscar Nominees & Their Adorable Dogs
Movie-lovers rejoice! This year’s Academy Awards is only a few days away.
In celebration of Hollywood’s biggest night of the year, we thought we’d showcase a few of the 2025 nominees, who are major dog lovers.
Without further ado, here are the 2025 Oscars nominees and their adorable dogs.

If things go his way at this year’s Oscars, Adrien Brody may take home his second Academy Award. The actor is a devoted dog dad to an adorable pup!
Not only that, but Brody also helps dogs in need. After the horrible Los Angeles fires in January 2025, Brody volunteered at the Pasadena Humane Society to help animals displaced by the Eaton Fire.

While Sebastian Stan is not a dog owner, he loves furry friends. In a 2023 interview with the Golden Suitcase, Stan said he would love to own a dog, but his career as an actor has prevented him from doing so.
“I love dogs. Dogs are great. The problem is – just traveling so much. It’s very tough to get dogs around,” said Stan.
