Sean Baker made history at the 97th Academy Awards by becoming the first filmmaker to win four Oscars in a single night with his film 'Anora.' Baker's film, a dramedy about a young stripper, earned him awards for best director, best original screenplay, best editing, and best picture. Despite being relatively unknown before this recognition, Baker's previous works tackled themes surrounding marginalized communities and sex workers. He has consistently chosen to create films that challenge mainstream accessibility rather than conform to industry standards.
Baker stated, "I was always shooting myself in my foot. I was always doing something that would make my film probably not accessible to the mainstream," highlighting his approach to filmmaking.
Winning four Oscars in one night for the same film marks a historic achievement that sets Baker apart from legendary figures like Walt Disney and Bong Joon Ho.
