Anora came, saw, and conquered the 97th Academy Awards. Sean Baker’s film took home the most Oscar wins of the night with five awards, including best picture and best actress (Mikey Madison). Even though there can only be one winner, each best picture nominee represents the best of the best and deserve to be at the top of the list for your next movie night.

During award night, Adrian Brody and The Brutalist won Oscar gold three times last night for best actor, best cinematography, and best score. Award season darlings, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande didn’t win for best actress and supporting actress, but Wicked still brought home Oscars for best costume design and production design. The other big musical, Emilia Perez, which led the pack with the most nominations, was awarded best supporting actress (Zoe Saldaña) and best original song for “El Mal.”

However, with every big win comes a few epic snubs. A Complete Unknown, the biopic about Bob Dylan, was up for eight awards, including a best actor nod for Timothée Chalamet, but the film unfortunately left with none. The indie gem, Nickel Boys also left without any wins.

The 97th Academy Awards may be over, but the Oscar buzz is still fresh in the air.

It’s a long list of movies, and unless you’re a pro Letterboxd reviewer, you probably haven’t seen every one yet.
