“Anora,” the gripping tale of a New York sex worker who unexpectedly finds a fresh start after impulsively marrying a wealthy Russian client, has dominated the Academy Awards, securing five major wins, including Best Picture.
Directed and written by Sean Baker—who also took home Oscars for Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay—the film follows Anora (portrayed by Oscar winner Mikey Madison) as she embarks on what seems like a fairytale romance with the son of a powerful oligarch.
