Sean Baker, who directed the Oscar-winning film 'Anora', stressed the importance of cinema during his acceptance speech after winning Best Director. With a focus on the decline in moviegoers, he highlighted cinema’s communal aspect, stating that it offers an experience not replicable at home. 'Anora', a film about a sex worker who marries a wealthy client, won five Oscars, also earning Best Picture and accolades for Mikey Madison as Best Actress. The ceremony also honored other films and performances, demonstrating a vibrant, yet challenging landscape for independent filmmaking.
In his acceptance speech, Baker exhorted filmmakers to keep creating projects for the big screen, bemoaning the erosion of the theatregoing experience.
Baker emphasized the necessity of cinema as a communal experience, stating, "If we don't reverse this trend, we'll be losing a vital part of our culture. This is my battle cry."
