The recent Oscars was criticized for its lengthy runtime, with excessive and unnecessary performances detracting from the event. While Conan O'Brien served as a perfect host and the ceremony began at a reasonable hour, moments like random tributes to James Bond and Quincy Jones felt redundant. However, the highlight of the night was the unprecedented win of the indie film 'Anora,' which became the lowest-budget film to win Best Picture, showcasing a heartwarming narrative about following one's aspirations. Director Sean Baker’s achievement tied a long-standing record with Disney.
"The broadcast had a perfect host in the hilarious Conan O'Brien, a fun little-engine-that-could narrative in Best Picture winner 'Anora' and a forgiving 7 p.m. EST start time."
"Regardless of the needless frills, it was euphoric to watch the indie gem 'Anora,' the finest movie of 2024, win Best Picture - even if it took the flight time of a trip to Denver for it to happen."
