In recent weeks, the Oscars were anticipated to feature a showdown between two controversial films: The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez, both facing significant criticism. Initially, Sean Baker’s Anora was the favorite following its success at Cannes, but after being overlooked at the Golden Globes and receiving fewer nominations than its competitors, it fell from grace. Critics noted that voters may favor Emilia Pérez for its political resonance, which shifts the spotlight away from Anora, illustrating the volatile nature of awards season and the films vying for recognition.
The year’s Best Picture front-runner had long been Anora, but after being shut out at the Golden Globes and receiving fewer nominations for the Oscars than expected, it quickly fell behind.
Oscar night was dominated by two films, The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez, both visually appealing yet narratively flawed, leading to disappointment among film enthusiasts.
