“Anora” had a night to remember Sunday at the Academy Awards.
Sean Baker’s film about a Brooklyn exotic dancer who marries the spoiled son of a Russian oligarch took home five Oscars, including best picture and best actress for star Mikey Madison.
Baker, who wrote, directed and edited the film, won the Oscar for all three of those roles. He is now the second person ever to win four Oscars in one night, with the first being Walt Disney.
Other major winners Sunday were Adrien Brody, who won his second best actor Oscar for his role in “The Brutalist”; Zoe Saldaña, who won best supporting actress for “Emilia Pérez”; and Kieran Culkin, who won best supporting actor for “A Real Pain.”
