With Anora and other recent winners in the rearview, independently made films aren't gaining ground on the awards playing field; they are the playing field.

“Anora” got its happily ever after. The indie about a sex worker from Brooklyn won five Oscars, including Best Actress for Mikey Madison, Best Picture and Best Director for Sean Baker, who matched Walt Disney’s record for winning four Academy Awards in one night.

"Anora” — Sean Baker’s frantic Cinderella story about a sex worker and a Russian oligarch’s son — led the 97th Academy Awards with five wins, including for motion picture, lead actress and director. Other films with multiple prizes included “The Brutalist,” “Wicked,” “Emilia Pérez” and “Dune: Part 2.” The full list of Oscar winners is below.
