Anora won big tonight at the Oscars. Sean Baker becomes the first person to win 4 academy awards for the same movie.  

I watched Anora last night after the Oscars. Can definitely see why Mikey Madison won best actress, I thought she was amazing, and not only did she display range within the movie but on talk show appearances she seems different than the role she played. So must have really done her homework and gotten into character. As for the full movie, I really liked it, especially the first 45 minutes  and final half hour. Parts where they went looking for Ivan dragged just a bit. So I have no problem with it winning Best Picture, but I'd give it more like an 8 out of 10 than a 9.5 out of 10. Closer to Hangover in a way than to Pretty Woman. Would hardly even know it was an indie until I found out that the scenes where they entered venues looking for Ivan were the filmmakers crashing real-life events.

I think we will watch it this week.

Tarantino had quite the stable for his Manson clan in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which she was a part of.

Dakota Fanning

Margaret Qualley

Austin Butler

Maya Hawke

Lena Dunham (already famous at the time so doesn't count in the theme of what I'm doing here)

Sydney Sweeney

That's quite a group.

OUTIH is clearly becoming one of my favorites ever...  Pulp holds a special spot so it may not ever top that but I find so many new things in it every time I watch again.  It's so genius.
