The Fairy Tale Night of Sean Baker, Director of Dreams Gone Awry
Briefly

Sean Baker made history at the Oscars by winning four awards for his film 'Anora,' which centers on a sex worker in Brooklyn who navigates complex relationships. The film earned five Oscars, including recognition for its star, Mikey Madison. Baker's achievement is significant as he becomes only the second filmmaker to win four Oscars for a single film in one night, joining Walt Disney's 1954 accomplishment. Known for his focus on marginalized characters, Baker's unique style and personal touch imprint his works distinctly across the film industry.
"By taking home four Oscars on a single night, Baker joins just one other luminary: none other than Walt Disney, who pulled off the same trick in 1954."
"Baker's film Anora, about a sex worker in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn who marries the son of a Russian oligarch and then watches it all go sideways, earned five Oscars overall on Sunday."
