Secondupdate.com – Sean Baker made history at the 2025 Academy Awards by winning four Oscars in a single night for his film Anora.

This remarkable achievement has only been accomplished by one other person before: Walt Disney in 1954.

At the event, Baker took home awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay. His accomplishment is even more special because he won all these awards for a single film, unlike Walt Disney, who won four Oscars for different projects.

In addition to Baker’s victories, Anora also secured a fifth award in the Best Actress category, won by Mikey Madison. Her win was a major surprise, as she defeated Demi Moore, who was the frontrunner for her role in The Substance.

In his acceptance speech, Baker expressed gratitude to the sex worker community, which served as the inspiration for Anora and his previous film, Tangerine. He shared that this community had provided him with countless stories and life experiences over the years, deeply influencing his work.

With this achievement, Sean Baker further cements his reputation as a talented and empathetic filmmaker, known for telling realistic stories with a heartfelt and meaningful approach.
