"Anora" was a film festival favorite that won over critics and ultimately took home best picture at the Oscars. It was not the BEST picture, though.

For his movie about an exotic dancer who weds a Russian heir, Sean Baker won awards for best director, original screenplay and editing.

Although Oscar night’s clear victor, Sean Baker’s “Anora,” received awards in five categories, all major—Best Picture, Actress, Directing, Editing, and Original Screenplay—its producers were the biggest winners, because the underlying subject of the evening’s festivities was production.
