This year's Oscars highlighted a remarkable presence of Cannes films, with Anora sweeping five awards, including best picture. Its success marks a growing trend where Cannes premieres have been recognized at the Oscars, contrasting with the Venice festival, which saw fewer accolades this year. Notable wins for Cannes films included Flow, The Substance, and Emilia Perez, contributing to a record tally of nine wins, out of 31 nominations. This shift demonstrates Cannes' increasing influence on the Oscar circuit and the continuing fight for recognition amongst festival launches.
With nine wins out of 31 nominations, it's believed to be a record year at the Oscars for Cannes movies.
Anora, which picked up five awards including best picture, best director and best actress, was a Palme d'Or winner at last May's edition.
Cannes has felt its presence known more and more in recent years, with multiple films transitioning from the festival circuit to award-winning status.
The Academy tends to favour films that launch at Venice later in the year, but Cannes films have increasingly been recognized.
