After a successful 2025 movie run with projects including Netflix's My Oxford Year and The Life List, Sofia Carson is ready for more.
The actress, who hosted the Academy's Scientific and Technical Awards on Tuesday, April 28, tells PEOPLE that as she approaches the next chapter in her career, her priorities include “just being very selective of what I dedicate myself to next and crafting this next chapter of my career and my story, which I'm very excited about."
“There's a lot that I'm dying to share that I haven't been able to share,” the Purple Hearts star adds. “But I'm very excited to hopefully be able to do that very soon.”

“I am honored to be here to celebrate your scientific sorcery, which pushes the boundaries of cinematic imagination,” Carson began. “Even though I am in front of the camera, I am in awe of what goes on behind it. Simply put, I love learning all the scientific slide of hand.”
The Carry-On star offered up some humor, telling the crowd she wanted to impress them with her knowledge of technical film jargon. She went on to repeat the words “arbitrarily layered micro facet surfaces” three times as the crowd erupted in laughter.
“Now, onto the reason we are all gathered here, this beautiful evening. It is time to give out some awards,” Carson concluded.
