By The road to this year’s Oscars was anything but smooth, filled with unexpected twists, heated debates, and endless analysis leading up to the big night.
In the end, the night belonged to “Anora”, which swept five of its six nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay.
With this impressive haul, writer-director-editor Sean Baker matched the legendary Walt Disney’s record for most Oscars won in a single night.
Meanwhile, “The Brutalist” claimed three awards, while “Wicked” and “Dune: Part Two” each secured two.
“Emilia Pérez”, which entered the ceremony as the most nominated film with 13 nods, left with just two awards—Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song.
While “Anora” dominated the headlines, the overall mix of winners kept audiences guessing until the very end, making it one of the most unpredictable Oscars in recent years.
