Here is the full list of the 2025 Oscar winners.
Sean Baker's "Anora" won 5 Oscars, including best picture, best actress, and best director.
"The Brutalist" came in second with 3 wins, including a best actor win for Adrien Brody.
Sean Baker and his movie "Anora" were the big winners at the 97th Academy Awards.
The acclaimed movie won five Oscars, including four won by Baker himself — editing, screenwriting, directing, and best picture.
The only other person to win four Oscars at a single Academy Awards is Walt Disney in 1954. (Bong Joon Ho won four for "Parasite" in 2020, but best international feature is technically awarded to the country, not the filmmakers.)
"Anora" also caused the biggest upset of the night when its lead, Mikey Madison, won best actress over favorite Demi Moore, who won a Golden Globe and SAG Award for her performance in "The Substance."
"The Brutalist" won three Oscars, including best actor for Adrien Brody. This is his second Oscar win; he won in the same category for "The Pianist" in 2003.
Here's the full list of nominees, with winners in bold.
