‘Anora’ and director Sean Baker take the lead in Oscar odds

There’s no Oscar front-runner for Best Picture this year as clear and as strong as “Oppenheimer” was at around this time in 2023, so we’re bound to see fluctuation in our odds for Best Picture as the season progresses. That’s especially true now after a glut of film festivals around the world from Venice to Toronto to Telluride have unveiled many of the fall’s top contenders. But the new front-runner for Best Picture and Best Director in our odds is a film that had its world premiere back in May: Cannes Film Festival champ “Anora.”
The film, about the whirlwind romance between the title character (current Best Actress favorite Mikey Madison) and the son of a Russian oligarch (Mark Eydelshteyn), made its grand entrance onto the awards stage at the Cannes Film Festival. There it became the first American film since “The Tree of Life” (2011) to win the Palme d’Or.
