Stephanie Sy:
“Anora” tells the story of a New York sex worker who falls in love with the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. Produced with just $6 million, the film was directed, written, edited and produced by Sean Baker, who swept those categories and is now tied with Walt Disney for the most Oscars won in a single night.
For more on Sean Baker’s sweep and other highlights from the Oscars, I’m joined by Justin Chang, a film critic at “The New Yorker” who also reviews movies for NPR’s “Fresh Air.”
Justin, welcome back to the “News Hour.”
So what did you think of the Oscars this year, and, in particular, the success of “Anora,” which, as I understand it, takes on a marginalized community, and at least I have read destigmatizes and humanizes sex work?
