Who Are The Big Winners Heading Into Oscars 2025?
Various guild and industry awards have given some momentum to some of the films, filmmakers and actors heading into Sunday’s Oscars 2025 ceremony.
The Producers Guild and Film Independent Spirit Awards both named Anora the Best Picture of 2024, while the Directors Guild of America awarded Anora director Sean Baker with its top prize.
The film also took Best Picture at the Critics Choice Awards, but was upset at the Screen Actors Guild Awards when Conclave won the Best Acting in an Ensemble award. Conclave also won Best Feature at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards.
