Oscars 2025: How ‘Anora’ is leading the Best Picture race by simply outlasting the wreckage

The Hindu  

For months, the Oscars race this year has had every contender suffering from some combination of bad luck, bad strategy, or the increasingly unavoidable reality that the Internet never forgets. Then, in one seismic weekend, Anora pulled off an improbable hat trick, winning Best Picture at the Producers Guild Awards, Best Director at the Directors Guild Awards, and Best Picture at the Critics Choice Awards. pic.twitter.com/HXJKcMfuNN — NEON February 9, 2025 Drowning in controversy Each major contender this year seemed to have developed a fatal flaw somewhere along the way: The Brutalist couldn’t get the Screen Actors Guild to care, Conclave suffered from an absent director nomination, Wicked saw its director and writers shut out by the Academy, and A Complete Unknown was still searching for a room full of people who actually loved it. The last time a movie swept the Critics Choice, PGA, and DGA and then lost Best Picture was 1917 in 2020 — but that loss was to Parasite, another Palme d’Or winner released by Neon, the studio currently shepherding Anora to the finish line. If Anora does win Best Picture, it will mark Neon’s second victory in just five years, which will be an impressive feat for a boutique distributor competing against Hollywood giants.
