‘Anora’ Oscar win carries Academy Awards into a new era

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Last fall, Sean Baker was sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, talking about a poll. Why don’t you want to see sex in our stories?” “I remember being on set and being like: We’re pushing against that poll.” When Baker’s “Anora” swept the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday, its five wins, including best picture, heralded a different kind of Oscar winner. If anything, “Anora” was more oriented to the Cannes Film Festival, the French citadel of cinema, where it won the Palme d’Or last May — a prize that Baker said meant the most to him. “So I think we’re going to see all kinds of exciting films being made from kids who might not have had a chance to do this before.” Lindsey Normington, from left, Alex Coco, Vache Tovmasyan, Sean Baker, Samantha Quan, Karren Karagulian Mikey Madison, Drew Daniels, Luna Sofía Miranda, Mark Eydelshteyn, and Yura Borisov accept the award for best picture for "Anora" during the Oscars on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
