- Zendaya skips Oscars 2025 despite Dune 2 nominations sparking fan theories, her film Challengers was completely snubbed by this year’s Academy Awards.
- Fans speculated her absence was tied to disappointment over the snub.
- Zendaya remains busy with Euphoria filming and new high-profile projects.
Zendaya’s absence from the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025, did not go unnoticed, sparking speculation among fans and industry insiders alike.
Even though her movie Dune: Part Two got nominated for several awards like Best Picture, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound, Zendaya chose not to attend the ceremony.
Many people think her choice was influenced by the fact that her other project, Challengers, was completely ignored by the Oscars, despite winning Best Score at the Golden Globes and earning Zendaya a Best Actress nomination.
Neither Zendaya nor her representatives have commented on her choice, leaving fans to wonder if the perceived slight influenced her absence.
After Zendaya’s absence at the event, social media exploded with reactions. Fans were sad about missing her famous red-carpet moments and also showed their support for her decision. One fan posted on Twitter,
“The Oscars just aren’t the same without Zendaya slaying the red carpet,”
while another remarked,
“If Challengers didn’t get nominated, why should she bother showing up?”
Meanwhile, Zendaya has remained focused on her busy schedule. Just days before the ceremony, she was spotted filming Euphoria Season 3 and preparing for her role in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Odyssey. Additionally, Universal Pictures recently announced that she will voice Shrek and Fiona’s daughter in the highly anticipated fifth Shrek movie.

While Dune: Part Two earned wins for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects, it didn’t replicate the awards sweep of its predecessor at the 2022 Oscars. Zendaya’s absence added an air of intrigue to an otherwise star-studded evening.
With several major projects in development and her engagement to Tom Holland making headlines, Zendaya continues to be one of Hollywood’s most talked-about stars.
