Anora, directed by Sean Baker, emerged as a leading contender for the Oscars after winning major awards at both the Directors Guild of America (DGA) and Producers Guild of America (PGA) ceremonies. This follows its earlier defeats at the Golden Globes. Historically, the PGA winner has an excellent track record of moving on to win the best-picture Oscar. Baker expressed surprise and impostor syndrome during his acceptance speech. The success of Anora was complemented by a Critics Choice Awards win, solidifying its status as a strong Oscar candidate.
"While accepting his award at the earlier ceremony, he appeared gobsmacked. My impostor syndrome is skyrocketing right now, Baker said, as well as my cortisol levels."
"The PGA winner has gone on to claim the best-picture Oscar all but three times since 2009, making this victory particularly significant for Anora."
