The award season is a glittering gauntlet where films vie for glory, but every so often, a movie emerges that does not just compete, it captivates. This year, that movie is Anora
, the Mikey Madison-led rom-com that not only brings the genre back to its former glory but also sweeps every major award in sight. With the Oscars on the horizon, the question is not just whether Anora
will win, it is how many trophies it will take home.
This rom-com, broken free from clichés, is already making Oscar waves, and with the awards it has racked up, it is easy to see why.
Anora has already won the big three
In a dazzling sweep, Anora
has claimed the holy trinity of guild awards—PGA, DGA, and WGA, solidifying its place as the film to beat. The Producers Guild honored its flawless execution, the Directors Guild hailed Sean Baker’s visionary touch, and the Writers Guild crowned its razor-sharp screenplay. This trifecta is more than impressive, it is historic. Films that achieve this rare feat often dominate the Oscars, and Anora
seems poised to follow suit.
