Anora walks away with five Oscars, while No Other Land – portraying Israeli settler violence – judged the best documentary.
Anora, a screwball comedy-drama about a sex worker who marries a Russian oligarch’s son, has walked away with the biggest prizes at the 97th annual Academy Awards. The film won the awards for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Editing and Best Original Screenplay.
The musical Emilia Perez, which had the highest total nominations with 13 nods, scooped up wins for Best Original Song and Best Supporting Actress on Sunday night.
Adrien Brody won Best Actor for The Brutalist – his second Oscar. In 2003, Brody became the youngest person to win the Best Actor award for The Pianist at the age of 29. Mikey Madison won Best Actress for Anora.
Kieran Culkin bagged the Best Supporting Actor award for A Real Pain, and Paul Tazewell became the first Black man to win the award for Best Costume Design for Wicked.
No Other Land nabbed Best Documentary Feature for its stark portrayal of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
