The 97th Academy Awards are history with a huge sweep of awards for Anora including newbie Mikey Madison over heavily favored Demi Moore as Best Actress. Director Sean Baker collected four Oscars for Picture, Director, Screenplay, and Editing, a first for anyone! Other films could only take token awards the primary one being The Brutalist which saw Adrien Brody triumph over surging Timothee Chalamet whose A Complete Unknown got shut out. Most technical awards went as expected. Flow won Best Animated over popular The Wild Robot. Host Conan O'Brien kept things moving and did a solid job. The opening duet with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande was outstanding although the subsequent musical numbers seemed average and unnecessary. There were nice tributes and a couple of political statements. In the end, the drama centered on the best lead categories of acting.
Am so glad Anora with its heart of gold ruled the day. And now, time to see a new movie.
