Sean Baker wins best director Oscar for 'Anora' in Academy Awards sweep
Briefly

Sean Baker's film 'Anora' dominated the Oscars, winning five awards, including best picture and best director. This marks a historic achievement as Baker ties Walt Disney for the most wins in one year. The film tells the story of a Brooklyn exotic dancer and her impulsive marriage to a Russian oligarch's son. Baker's win reinforces the need for filmmakers to produce content for the theater experience, highlighting its cultural importance during divisive times.
In a time in which the world can feel very divided, this is more important than ever. It's a communal experience you simply don't get at home. If we don't reverse this trend, we'll be losing a vital part of our culture. This is my battle cry.
Baker tied Walt Disney for the most wins in a single year at the Academy Awards, with four Oscars awarded for his film 'Anora'.
