'Anora' wins best picture at the 2025 Oscars

Anora, Sean Baker's screwball dramedy about a whirlwind marriage between an enterprising sex worker and an impish spoiled son of a Russian oligarch, took home the award for best picture at Sunday night's Oscars, capping off a winning evening in which the director was also honored for best original screenplay, best editing, and best director.

The win doesn't come as a huge surprise. Since the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last May — where it won the top prize— it's racked up major accolades throughout awards season, including the top feature film award from the Producers Guild of America. (A PGA award win historically suggests a high probability of winning the best picture Oscar because the two organizations' voting memberships overlap. In the last 10 years, seven films have won both.)

"I want to thank the Academy for recognizing a truly independent film," Baker said during his final acceptance speech of the night. "This film was made on the blood, sweat and tears of incredible indie artists, and – um – long live independent film!"
