One Film Wins Five Oscars

Hollywood’s biggest event, the 97th Academy Awards, took place in a grand ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The night was filled with surprises, as unexpected films and artists claimed prestigious awards, emphasizing the growing importance of content-driven storytelling.

In the Best Picture category, several films competed fiercely, but "Anora" emerged as the winner, securing the Oscar for Best Film in 2025. However, the success of Anora didn’t stop there—it won a total of five Academy Awards, making history as the most awarded film of the year.

Director Sean Baker also won the Best Director Oscar for Anora. His journey in filmmaking began in 2015 with Tangerine, a movie he shot entirely on an iPhone. A decade later, he now holds an Oscar, proving that big budgets and fancy cameras aren’t necessary to create a masterpiece—strong content speaks for itself.

With its five wins, Anora solidified its place as the most celebrated film at the 97th Academy Awards, reinforcing the power of independent storytelling on the global stage.
