Anora is one of 2024’s most praised movies among audiences and critics, and it has won a lot of awards on the back of its reception. Directed by Sean Baker (The Florida Project), the comedy-drama earned acclaim immediately after it debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. That gave the movie expectations to be one of the biggest performers during the following awards season and win several 2025 Oscars categories. Anora‘s rave reviews pinpointed many areas where the film could receive awards recognition, ranging from Sean Baker’s script and directing to Mikey Madison’s breakthrough lead performance.

While not every movie tipped as a major awards contender always gets to that spot, Anora certainly did. It has one of the strongest performances among the 2025 Oscars Best Picture nominees thanks to the awards it has won all season long. Recognition for Sean Baker, Mikey Madison, Yura Borisov, and more were constant as nominations for major Oscars precursors, critics circles, and other awards ceremonies took place. And while Anora did not win every award it was nominated for, the movie did receive tremendous support. The end result is a mᴀssive among of awards Anora has won.

Every Oscar Anora Has Been Nominated For

Anora Has 6 Nominations

The culmination of Anora‘s awards season will be with the 97th Academy Awards. The movie received six Oscar nominations. Sean Baker was nominated for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing. Mikey Madison was nominated for Best Actress, and Yura Borisov was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The movie also secured a Best Picture nomination. Oscars precursors like WGA, DGA, SAG, and PGA provide some idea for how the movie could perform at the Oscars, but its overall standing in different categories also speaks volumes.

Every Best Picture Award Anora Has Won

It Has 26 Such Wins

Anora was praised by many as being one of 2024’s best movies; it was number 4 on Screen Rant’s top 20, for instance. Unsurprisingly, the film was constantly part of different Best Picture-style categories at various awards shows.

Some additional wins come through international outlets that count the film as a foreign release. 18 of these wins came as Anora was recognized as the best film overall, while three awards were given to it in the Comedy/Musical genre. There is still room for the awards tally to grow, as the film has Best Picture nominations with BAFTA, the Spirit Awards, and the Oscars that have not announced winners yet.

Every Award Mikey Madison Has Won For Anora

Mikey Madison Has Won Nearly 50 Awards

Mikey Madison is the star of Anora, and while the film has been recognized for its quality overall, her individual performance has been honored most of all. She has amᴀssed the most awards season victories of any of the Oscars 2025 Best Actress nominees. The early praise she received during awards season helped establish enough momentum to position her as the favorite to win the category at the 97th Academy Awards.

Currently, Mikey Madison has won 45 awards for her performance in Anora. 29 of these wins have come strictly as a lead performance, while another 15 recognize her as a breakout performance. There were two instances where she shared the win with other actresses thanks to ties with Demi Moore (The Substance) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths). There is room for Mikey Madison’s award win total for Anora to keep growing depending on what happens with the Oscars, BAFTA, SAG Awards, and Spirit Awards.

Every Directing Award Sean Baker Has Won For Anora

Sean Baker’s Direction Has Been Praised

Anora may not be the flashiest movie from a directing standpoint, but Sean Baker’s work behind the camera has still brought him plenty of accolades. It all started with Cannes and winning the Palme d’Or, which is the festival’s top prize and awarded to the director. That suggested that Baker would continue to win awards for his direction, although the awards season did not really play out that way. He still received his fair share of wins in this department, including some big ones, but the overall total is not staggering.

• Best Director – Boston Society of Film Critics Awards 2024
• Palme d’Or – Cannes Film Festival 2024
• Best Director – Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics ᴀssociation Awards 2024
• Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film – Directors Guild of America 2025
• Best Director – Austin Film Critics ᴀssociation 2025
• Best Director – Iowa Film Critics Awards 2024
• Best Director – Philadelphia Film Critics Circle Awards 2024
• Best Director – New Mexico Film Critics 2024
• Best Director – North Dakota Film Society 2025
• Best Director – Seattle Film Critics Society 2024

Sean Baker has won 10 directing awards for Anora to this point. The filmmaker’s work received a huge moment of recognition at the DGA Awards, as he won the top prize from his peers. That helped reposition Anora as the Best Picture frontrunner and boosted his odds of winning the category at the Oscars. That possibility will increase should he win at BAFTA or Spirit Awards before the March 2nd ceremony.

Every Screenwriting Award Sean Baker Has Won For Anora

Baker’s Writing Is Favored Over His Directing

In addition to the recognition he’s received as the director, Sean Baker’s screenplay is another favorite in the awards season. The funny, emotional, and dramatic script is the foundation from which the performances and direction build on. Critics have generally been more favorable to the screenplay in terms of selecting it as the winner, as Anora currently only has one screenplay win from a non-critics voting body. The remaining wins are all thanks to reviewers.

• Best Original Screenplay – Boston Society of Film Critics Awards 2024
• Best Screenplay – New York Film Critics Circle Awards 2024
• Best Original Screenplay – San Diego Film Critics Society Awards 2024
• Best Original Screenplay – Southeastern Film Critics ᴀssociation Awards 2024
• Best Original Screenplay – Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards 2024
• Original Screenplay – Capri, Hollywood 2024
• Best Original Screenplay – Austin Film Critics ᴀssociation 2025
• Best Screenplay – North Texas Film Critics ᴀssociation 2024
• Best Original Screenplay – George Film Critics ᴀssociation 2025
• Best Screenplay – Boston Online Film Critics ᴀssociation 2024
• Best Screenplay – Houston Film Critics Society Awards 2025
• Best Script – Philadelphia Film Critics Circle Awards 2024
• Best Original Screenplay – Atlanta Film Critics Circle 2024
• Best Screenplay – Music City Film Critics’ ᴀssociation Awards 2025
• Best Original Screenplay – San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle 2024
• Best Screenplay – Seattle Film Critics Society 2024
• Best Screenplay – Critics ᴀssociation of Central Florida Awards 2025
• Best Screenplay – Michigan Movie Critics Guild Awards 2024

Sean Baker’s script has won 18 awards overall, but it has not received victories from any major Oscar precursors. That could change with WGA and the possibility of it winning there. If it doesn’t, then Anora‘s script will remain an aspect of the film that critics appear to have more favor for than others in Hollywood.

Every Other Award Anora Has Won

Yura Borisov Is Another Big Winner

Anora has secured wins in several other categories during awards season that are not tied to a Best Picture category, recognizing Mikey Madison’s performance, or highlighting Sean Baker’s writing or direction. A good deal of them have come thanks to Yura Borisov’s performance. He’s won six Best Supporting Actor categories during the season ahead of his Oscars 2025 nomination. There are 17 additional awards that Anora has won overall.

• Yura Borisov – Best Supporting Performance – Los Angeles Film Critics ᴀssociation Awards 2024 – Tie with Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain)
• Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures – PGA Awards 2025
• “Event of the Year” Award – Russian Guild of Film Critics
• Yura Borisov – Outstanding Supporting Performance – Toronto Film Critics ᴀssociation Awards 2024

• LIUNA People’s Choice Award – Windsor International Film Festival 2024
• Audience Award – Imagine Film Festival 2024
• Best Ensemble – Philadelphia Film Critics Circle Awards 2024
• Yura Borisov – Best Supporting Actor – New Mexico Film Critics 2024
• Best Editing – New Mexico Film Critics 2024
• Yura Borisov – Best Supporting Actor – North Dakota Film Society 2025
• Best Ensemble – North Dakota Film Society 2025
• Yura Borisov – Best Supporting Actor – San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle 2024
• Best Film Editing – San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle 2024
• Best Ensemble – Seattle Film Critics Society 2024
• Producer Award – Critics Choice Awards Celebration of Cinema & Television 2024

In addition to Borisov’s wins, Anora has been most recognized elsewhere thanks to its editing and ensemble cast. Sean Baker edited the film himself, so the three editing wins are attributed to him. There are also three ensemble cast wins that factor in the work of Mikey Madison, Yura Borisov, Mark Eydelshteyn, and others. This is also where Anora‘s PGA win counts, as it was given to Alex Coco, Samantha Quan, and Sean Baker. All in all, Anora has won 115 awards this season.
