Oscars 2025 | Sean Baker’s ‘Anora’ wins Best Original Screenplay, ‘Conclave’ bags Best Adapted Screenplay

The Hindu  

As expected, Anora started its much-hyped Oscar run with a win for Best Original Screenplay, while Conclave bagged the Best Adapted Screenplay at the ongoing 97th Academy Awards in The Dolby Theatre, Los Angeles, United States. Sean Baker’s critically acclaimed drama, Anora, triumphed over The Substance, The Brutalist, A Real Pain and September 5 in the category. Notably, Sean has also been nominated for Best Editing, Best Director, and Best Picture; if he wins in all four categories, he will tie Walt Disney’s record for the most Oscar wins by a single person in a single night. Baker’s scrappy, $6 million indie had spent the better part of the season as a respected underdog, beloved by critics but largely ignored by the precursors that usually dictate the Oscars trajectory
