Anora dominated the 97th Academy Awards, winning big with five golden statues, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Mikey Madison, beating out favourite Emilia Perez
At the 97th Academy Awards, Sean Baker’s dramatic comedy Anora emerged as the night’s big winner, taking home five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress for star Mikey Madison.
The star-studded ceremony, hosted by Conan O’Brien, closed out an unforgettable award season.
The show kicked off with a heartfelt tribute to LA after the devastating wildfires, and featured a special film package and a rousing performance of “We Love LA” by Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.. Later on in the show, some of the first responders were invited onto stage and made jokes about some of the nominees.
Leading into the ceremony, Netflix ’s musical-crime hybrid Emilia Pérez led the charge with 13 nominations, while Wicked and The Brutalist followed closely behind with 10 nods each.
