“Anora,” Sean Baker’s Film Featuring Armenian Actors, Nominated for Six Academy Awards

LOS ANGELES — Sean Baker’s drama Anora has been nominated for “Best Film of the Year” at the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony.

The film has also received nominations for “Best Director,” “Best Actress,” “Best Actor in a Supporting Role,” and “Best Original Screenplay.”

Anora was previously awarded the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The movie also garnered nominations for “Best Editing,” with standout performances by Mikey Madison (Best Actress) and Yuriy Borisov (Best Supporting Actor).

The story of Anora revolves around Ani, a Brooklyn stripper turned call girl who strikes gold with a wealthy client, the son of a Russian oligarch—only for her fairy tale to take a dark turn.

The Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 2, 2025.

The film, featuring Armenian actors Karen Karagulyan and Vache Tovmasyan, continues to receive widespread acclaim, solidifying its status as one of the year’s most celebrated works.
