Everything must come to an end, and as the saying goes, the best things are always worth the wait. The world was eager to hear the name of one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry, and the night’s biggest winner at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles turned out to be… ‘Anora,’ the 2025 Best Picture Oscar winner!

Sean Baker - die-hard indie film-maker

Sean Baker has spent half his life portraying marginalized communities in the United States and has long been a leading figure in independent cinema. The director of Tangerine—a groundbreaking film shot on an iPhone—and The Florida Project, one of the greatest films of the 21st century, won the Palme d’Or last year, and now, it seems, he was destined to claim the Oscar on March 3 as well.

Anora encapsulates the very best of Baker’s visual and thematic storytelling. The film follows the story of a stripper and sex worker whose life takes a sudden turn for the better—only for her to fight tooth and nail to keep the world from taking it away. A dark comedy as wild and entertaining as it is deeply tragic, the film solidifies Mikey Madison as the future of Hollywood.
