The film "Anora" won five Oscars, including Best Picture. Director Shon Baker also received awards for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing, setting a record for the number of Oscars won by a single nominee in one year. This recalled the victory of Ulta Disney, who won four Oscars for four films in 1954.
Miki Madison (25 years old), the lead actress of "Anora," received the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. The film's budget totaled six million dollars, which is relatively small even for Hollywood. Baker stated, "If you want to make independent films, please, continue. We need more work like this, and this award is a confirmation."
Madison's win in the Best Actress category was a surprise for the star Demi Moore, who was one of the favorites for her role in the film "Substance." Accepting her award, Madison said: "I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood always seemed too far away... My presence here today on this stage is truly remarkable."
