TikTokFollowing our third year as the Official Partner of Festival de Cannes to bring the #TikTokShortFilm competition to life and our presence at Sundance Film Festival, we're excited to collaborate with ITV to bring one of the biggest nights in entertainment to our community — the 96th Oscars®. We're thrilled to continue to provide creators an opportunity to be discovered by over 1 billion people around the world while making an impact on the film and entertainment industry's biggest projects and events.
#FilmTok, where cultural moments like the Oscars® turn into cultural movements, highlights a community who will be hard at work predicting and analysing everything about the awards — from industry insiders who pull back the curtain on the movies we love, to the studios that bring us our favorite films. This influential community continues to create a collaborative environment where movie fans share, learn, and engage with their favourite films and entertainers. With 1.7M total posts — an over 70% increase compared to last year — #FilmTok and #MovieTok‘s influence on the entertainment industry cannot be understated. Whether creators are rooting for the creatives behind #Saltburn (161.8k creations) and #PoorThings (12.2k creations), or are continuing to embrace trends like #Barbiecore (71.1k creations), we are loving the dedication to this year's nominated films. We applaud the creativity and impact of our community all year long, but are especially excited to see how their entertaining, insightful, and educational videos come to life during awards season.

Discover #FilmTok IRL
This year, #FilmTok rallied around movie aesthetics, story plots, songs, and sounds, creating trends that built appreciation for some of this year's nominees. While "Barbenheimer" focused on combining the antithetical aesthetics of Best Picture nominees Barbie and Oppenheimer, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse sparked trends based around the movie's plot as seen in the "Canon Event" trend, which has inspired more than 68K posts globally.
Throughout awards season, nominees and entertainment talent continue to bring fans alongside them virtually. Best Supporting Actress nominee Danielle Brooks (@thedanieb) has been documenting her award season experience on TikTok, showcasing fashion looks and speeches from earlier this season; host Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmellive) is sharing several interviews with notable nominees ahead of the big night; and we're keeping an eye on Francesca Scorsese (@francescascorsese) to see if her legendary father, Martin, makes an appearance.
For the first time, we're bringing #FilmTok to life as the official co-host of The Hollywood Reporter's Nominees Night party in West Hollywood, celebrating the hard work and success of past and present nominees. In addition to Nominees Night, we're hosting a group of local and international creators for an official TikTok watch parties in Los Angeles, London and all around the world — where they can discuss film analysis, red carpet looks, and predictions together in person.
In the UK, we'll be marking the Oscars® with a TikTok watch party at a central London hotel in partnership with broadcast partner ITV. With some incredible creators attending like @Cocosarel and @zeewhatidid the whole TikTok community will be able to join the Oscars® conversation!
