After a phenomenal reception at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the coveted Palme d'Or, is Sean Baker's latest movie Anora on track for a Best Picture nomination?
The Palme d'Or is one of the most prestigious prizes in all of cinema and in recent years has been a harbinger for Best Picture nominations, as three of the four most recent Cannes winners (Anatomy of a Fall, Triangle of Sadness and Parasite) were then feted by the Academy (in the case of Parasite, it also went on to win the Best Picture). Another feather in Anora's cap is that it is the first US movie to win the Palme d'Or since 2011's The Tree of Life, which also was nominated for Best Picture.
