Anora triumphs at Oscars 2025

Anora was the star of the night at the 2025 Oscars, taking home a staggering five awards, including Best Actress for rising star Mikey Madison, and a groundbreaking four trophies for director Sean Baker.

The film, a gripping whirlwind drama, tells the story of Madison’s character, a New York stripper who unexpectedly falls for the son of a wealthy Russian family. Madison's performance left the competition, including powerhouse Demi Moore, in the dust, as she took home the coveted Best Actress Oscar, calling the win a "dream come true."

But the night truly belonged to Sean Baker, who made history by becoming the first filmmaker ever to win four Academy Awards for a single film—securing wins for directing, editing, writing, and producing Anora. It's safe to say, 2025 was Anora's year.
