Watch Anora: Nominated in Six Oscar Categories on Amazon Prime Video

Oscars week is here, and it’s that time of the year when everyone starts planning their watch list based on the Oscar nominees and winners. While there are 24 categories at the Academy Awards, the “Big Five” always get the most attention: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Screenplay.

One of the films generating a lot of buzz this year is ‘Anora’ by Sean Baker, which is nominated in all five of the Big Five categories and is the favorite to win Best Picture.

‘Anora’ is a modern-day take on the classic Cinderella story set in Russia. The film follows a young woman named Anora who meets and falls in love with Igor, the son of a Russian oligarch, while they are both living in New York. However, their fairytale romance is tested when news of their marriage reaches Russia.

The film was released in theaters in October 2024 and has already grossed $36 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. But if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, you’re in luck. You can now stream ‘Anora’ on Prime Video.

In addition to Best Picture, ‘Anora’ is up for five other Oscars:
– Best Achievement for Directing (Sean Baker)
– Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Mikey Madison)
– Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (Yura Borisov)
– Best Original Screenplay (Sean Baker)
– Best Achievement in Film Editing (Sean Baker)

The film has already taken home several awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor for Mikey Madison at the Film Independent Spirit Awards. While the Film Independent Spirit Awards can sometimes predict Oscar success, ‘Anora’ did not win in any of the three categories it was nominated for at the SAG Awards.

‘Anora’ premiered at the Cannes Festival in May 2024, where it won the prestigious Palme d’Or. The film was also nominated for five Golden Globes and seven British Academy Film Awards, winning Best Actress and Best Casting at the BAFTAs.

If you’re looking for a critically acclaimed film to add to your watch list, ‘Anora’ is definitely worth checking out. And with the convenience of streaming on Prime Video, you can enjoy this Oscar-nominated movie from the comfort of your own home.
