La corsa verso gli Oscar 2025 continua senza sosta, ed Anora continua ad accumulare premi: la pellicola domina anche ai Film Independent Spirit Awards.
Il film di Sean Baker non sembra conoscere ostacoli in questa stagione di premi cinematografici che porteranno all’assegnazioni degli Oscars. Nella notte italiana, infatti, Anora ha portato a casa l’ennesimo riconoscimento in occasione degli ambiti Spirit Awards, i premi assegnati alle migliori produzioni indipendenti designati dall’associazione Film Independent.
Oltre al premio principale per il Miglior Film, infatti, Anora ha portato a casa la Miglior Regia (a Sean Baker) ed il premio attoriale andato all’attrice Mikey Madison. Inutile dirlo, ma a questo punto un trionfo agli Oscars sembra più che scontato.
In questa folle corsa per gli Academy Awards, Anora ha già trionfato ai WGA Awards, PGA Awards, DGA Awards, Critics Choice Awards, oltre al Festival di Cannes.
A Real Plan ha vinto ha collezionato 2 premi, per la Migliore Sceneggiatura allo scrittore-regista-star Jesse Eisenberg e per la Migliore Interpretazione non pProtagonista a Kieran Culkin. Altri premi sono andati al film d’animazione Flow (per il Miglior Film Straniero) ed a Jomo Fray per la Migliore Fotografia in Nickel Boys.
