Low-budget comedy Anora triumphed at this year’s Oscars winning five awards, including best picture and best actress for Mikey Maddison while Adrien Brody took home best actor for his role in The Brutalist. Anora creator Sean Baker also won for director, editing and original screenplay for the film that follows a sex worker who gets married to the son of a Russian oligarch. The most powerful speech of the night came when No Other Land, a film made by an Israel-Palestine collective about violence and displacement in the West Bank, won for documentary feature despite no official distribution in the US.
