Hulu will begin streaming Sean Baker’s Best Picture Oscar winner, Anora, on March 17. The announcement was shared on the streamer’s official Instagram account.
With Mike Madison winning Best Actress for her title role and Baker taking home three additional Oscars for Best Director, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Screenplay, the movie won the most trophies at the 97th ceremony held at the Dolby Theater yesterday night. The previous record for the most Oscars won by one individual in a single night was equaled by Baker and Walt Disney.
The streamer has an agreement with Anora distributor Neon, which also owns Kieran Culkin’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar-winning film A Real Pain, starring Jessie Eisenberg.
The movie made its theatrical debut on October 18, 2024, following its May 21 premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. After Bong Joon Ho’s 2019 Palme d’Or winner Parasite, the film became the second Neon film to win the Palme d’Or at the festival.
Compared to its Palme d’Or predecessor, which won four Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film, Anora took home one more prize. On March 7, Bong Joon Ho’s latest movie, Mickey-17, opens in theaters. The Berlin Film Festival in 2025 hosted its premiere.
Following Quentin Tarantino’s presentation of the Best Directing award, Baker praised the director of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) for bringing Madison into his film, as it was this role that inspired Baker to pursue her for Anora.
In Anora, Mikey Madison plays Ani, a young Brooklyn sex worker whose Cinderella tale begins when she meets and promptly marries a Russian oligarch’s son in Las Vegas after just one week of dating him. However, when the news reaches Russia, her husband’s parents decide to dissolve the marriage, endangering her idyllic future.
