Anora has taken home the award for Best Picture at this year's Oscars, while also cementing the film as this year's leading light at the Academy Awards with five wins.
Directed by Sean Baker, Anora follows the story of Ani (Mikey Madison), a young stripper soon drawn into the orbit of Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch.
Anora beat a 10-strong Best Picture lineup this year, which included the likes of Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, papal drama Conclave, and sci-fi blockbuster Dune: Part Two.

It had been a topsy-turvy awards season, with many tipping The Brutalist to pick up the top award on the night. However, a recent flurry of triumphs for Anora, including at the DGA awards and the Critics' Choice awards, led to the momentum swinging back in its favor after plenty of early buzz since picking up the Palme d'Or at last year's Cannes Film Festival.
Speaking on stage after receiving the award, director Sean Baker said, "I want to thank the Academy for recognizing a truly independent film... long live independent film." The award was presented by When Harry Met Sally co-stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal.
Recent winners of Best Picture include Oppenheimer, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Coda.
I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
