`Anora’ Wins Big at 97th Oscars, Including Best Picture

“Anora” was the big winner at Sunday evening’s 97th Academy Awards, capturing five Oscars, including best picture, best actress and best director.

The comedy-drama about the beleaguered marriage of a sex worker and the son of a Russian oligarch garnered the best actress award for star Mikey Madison as well as director honors for Sean Baker. “Anora” also delivered Oscars to Baker for original screenplay and film editing.

Meanwhile, “The Brutalist” won three Oscars on Sunday, including one for Adrien Brody for best actor. It also took trophies for cinematography and original score.

The award for best supporting actor went to Kieren Culkin for “A Real Pain,” while Zoe Saldaña took the Oscar for best supporting actress for “Emília Pérez” — capping an awards-season run for those two in which they basically ran the table in award shows.

Conan O’Brien made his debut as Oscar host at the ceremonies, which were held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

“Emília Pérez” went into the evening with a leading 13 nominations and won two — Saldaña’s best supporting actress trophy, plus best original song, “El Mal.”

“Wicked,” which, like “The Brutalist” went into the night with 10 nominations, was Sunday night’s only other multiple winner. “Wicked” captured Oscars for costume design and production design.
