Oscars 2025

The 97th Academy Awards, the ceremony took place recently and celebrated outstanding achievements in cinema. Here's an overview of some of the notable winners:

Best Picture: Anora

Best Director: Sean Baker for Anora

Best Actress: Mikey Madison for her role in Anora

Best Actor: Adrien Brody for his performance in The Brutalist

Best Supporting Actress: Zoe Saldaña for her role in Emilia Pérez

Best Supporting Actor: Kieran Culkin for his performance in A Real Pain

Best Animated Feature: Flow

Best International Feature: I'm Still Here

Anora emerged as the evening's big winner, securing five awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film's director, Sean Baker, made history by winning four individual Oscars in one night—a feat previously achieved only by Walt Disney in 1954, though Disney's awards spanned multiple projects. The way the film was laced together so skillfully and humorously was a treat to watch making us think of our Malayalam Film Producer, Priyadarshan who make such hilarious yet socially poignant films. 

Mikey Madison's portrayal in Anora earned her the Best Actress award, marking a significant milestone in her burgeoning career.

Adrien Brody's role in The Brutalist garnered him his second Best Actor Oscar, further cementing his status as a leading actor in the industry. Ralph Fiennes was a worthy contender with his stellar performance in 'Conclave'.  

Zoe Saldaña's win for Best Supporting Actress in Emilia Pérez was historic, as she became the first American actor of Dominican origin to receive an Oscar.

The Best Animated Feature award went to Flow, a Latvian film that not only captivated audiences worldwide but also marked Latvia's first Oscar win.

I'm Still Here, a poignant Brazilian film, won Best International Feature, bringing attention to Brazil's cinematic storytelling.

These awards highlight the diverse and evolving landscape of global cinema, celebrating stories and talents from various backgrounds.
