"Anora," a film containing such graphic sexual content that it can arguably be categorized as pornographic, was honored as 2024's Best Picture at the 97th annual Academy Awards ceremony March 2. The movie's writer-director, Sean Baker, took home three other Oscars while Mikey Madison, who played the title role, won as Best Actress.
The genial presence of host Jimmy Kimmel helped to restore an equable atmosphere to the Academy Awards ceremony as that gathering marked its 95th year Sunday night. Such tranquility was in welcome contrast to the turmoil created in 2022 when actor Will Smith notoriously slapped comedian and host Chris Rock.
