“Anora” Oscar Win holds the Academy Awards in a new era

Los Angeles – Last fall, Sean Baker was sitting at Manhattan Restaurant, talking about an opinion poll. The survey, about sex and television, showed that the pioneers of General Z have mostly stopped by sex in the movie.

This broke my heart. Baker said: “I thought, there is something wrong here.” You are fine with all the violence there? Sex is a vital part of existence. Why don’t you want to see sex in our stories? “

“I remember that I was in a place and being like: we are pushing against this survey.”

When “Anura” from Baker swept the seventy -seventh academy awards on Sunday, her five wins, including the best image, made a different type of Oscar winner. Anura, about an exciting dancer (Mickey Madison, the best winning actress) to marry the Russian son of the oligarsh, is not sexually clear for the best winner of pictures – a chapter that includes more films such as “King’s speech” and “Miss Daisy leadership”. The relationship of a young woman with her sexual sex, historically, was not in the Oscar Awards.

But this is just one quality that makes “Anora” unique as the best image winner. The film, which was made for $ 6 million and distributed by Nion, was not a small interest in the main current. If there was anything, “Anora” was more directed at the Cannes Film Festival, French Cinema, where it won the Palme D’or Award last May – a prize that Baker said more to him.

However, increasingly, these are the world of close films. In the past five years, four of the winners have been nominated for the Best Academy Awards, including “parasite” from Bong Joon Ho (which was also distributed by NEON), which became the first non -English linguistic movie to win the Hollywood First Prize.

“Anora”, a film that crowds a fictional story in Hollywood like “Pretty Woman”, like many winners on Sunday – a modern movie without shyness and a comfortable movie, even proud of the brand “Cinema”. In the cinema industry where the concession manufacture was celebrated the day, “Anora” was partially celebrated, because it is the real deal.

It is also a more traditional option than it might seem. Baker, the director who swore to make a series, studio, or anything to broadcast, is a messenger for the seventies cinema. At the Academy Awards ceremony, Conan Operation is called “The 97th Long Content Awards”, “Anura”-which participated in some of the streets of Brooklyn itself as “The French Connection”-to hold on to prove an increasing theatrical legacy, as Baker was defending something very old: the big screen.

“Film makers, continue to make films for big screen. Baker said from the Dolby Theater stage:” I know I will do. “Distributors, please focus first and foremost on the theatrical versions of your films. Parents, they present your children to show movies in cinemas, and you will form the next generation of film lovers and directors. For all of us, when we can watch movies in the theater and let us maintain the wonderful tradition of alive and healthy cinema experience. “

The coronation of “Anora” was a victory for the manufacture of independent movement, but this was also a battle of Mrsin and won before. We have seen “The Hurt Locker” AVATAR and “Moonight” defeat “La La Land”. The coronation of “Obenheimer” last year, if any, was an exception in a series of the best smaller images that did not fit an Oscar template. “Everything everywhere in one go,” was the winner in 2023, anti -aid and around the farthest possible thing from “Oscar Bait”.

What was different this year was that the harshest competition for “Anora” was not “evil” or “Part Two” or any other studio product. It was “Conclave” and “The Brutalist”. On Sunday, all the main award winners arose from films that were made independently. At the Academy Awards, studios are outside the image.

This trend was developing for years, but the Oscars 97 showed how much things changed. In the best animated category, where the movie “The Wild Robot” Universal and Dreamworks was the favorite movie “Flow”, a Latifi movie in which it is not respected from an open source program, instead.

“Any child now has tools used to make these academy films now,” said director Gints Zilbalodis. “So I think we will see all the types of exciting films that are manufactured by children who may have not had a chance to do this before.”

This victory, like Anura, suggested that international voters at the Academy have emerged as a dominant bloc. When the academy stands out, by responding to pressure to diversify its ranks, on new members in recent years, it precedes an extensive network abroad. Hundreds of new international voters – people who are likely to prefer to succeed in the Cannes or Venice Festival – now greatly affect the Academy Awards.

What does this mean for the Oscars to move forward? The additional tendency towards the Enzy and Artus cinema will definitely alienate some viewers. “Anora”, with $ 16 million in local ticket sales, is one of the best winners of the pictures ever. Oscar producers made everything they could to circumvent larger films, and opened with one of the “evil” stars, Ariana Grande and Cinneva Evo, and has repeatedly cut off to a sandworm from “Dune: Part Two” and even paying the honor of James Bond.

The music number 007 tasted strangely, as it came in the wake of the creative acquisition of the privilege by Amazon MGM Studios after decades of supervising the broccoli family. It seems only highlighting the amount of Hollywood’s regular and daily business to manage brands that are outside the new Academy Award scene.

But just as with the “Anora” academic awards may raise some of it, it may also inspire a new generation of Cinephiles. “Anora” in the cycles of Screwbal Farce, the drama, the satire of capitalism and the devastating tragedy. It can be said that it is one of the best winners in recent years, a movie that tries almost every kind before it concludes in an unforgettable scene that saves “Anora” to something classic and outside the time.

What will follow the subsequent tremors to follow a Baker Oscar. But shortly after the conclusion of the Academy Awards, 3.9 tremors were felt in the nearby Borbank – a suitable code for the small earthquake “Anora”.
