Sean Baker made history with four wins for Anora (excluding Mikey Madison’s victory), matching the legendary Walt Disney and even surpassing him in one regard. While Disney won four Oscars in 1954 for different films, all of Baker’s wins were for Anora. This distinction underscores the remarkable impact of Anora and solidifies Baker's place in Oscar history alongside Disney.
However, this is not the only intriguing aspect that sets Anora apart. In addition to Baker’s groundbreaking victory, the film stands out for its unique use of three languages — English, Armenian, and Russian — which adds a distinctive layer to the narrative. These languages seamlessly merge, creating a grotesque yet strikingly characteristic aesthetic that sets the film apart from others.
Unfortunately, to fully grasp the humor and nuances of Anora, one must be fluent in all three languages — seemingly, only Armenians could fully appreciate it.
However, despite this, there’s no longer any need for further proof of the film’s widespread acclaim, as it has already earned the admiration of critics and industry professionals alike.
