On Thursday, however, Anora filmmaker Sean Baker pulled off the rare hat trick-plus-one — he landed noms for director, picture, original screenplay and editing.

Coralie Fargeat and Brady Corbet are also among those in the running for more than one category at the 2025 Academy Awards.

Russian actor Yura Borisov received his first Oscar nomination for his role in 'Anora' as a hired muscle who proves he also has a tender heart.

The world of cinema is buzzing with excitement as director Sean Baker’s film ‘Anora’ has achieved a remarkable milestone by earning four Academy Award nominations. This extraordinary feat is a celebration not only for Baker but also for independent filmmakers everywhere, marking a significant moment in Oscar history.

The directing lineup encompasses all first-timers — Sean Baker (“Anora”), Brady Corbet (“The Brutalist”), James Mangold (“A Complete Unknown”), Jacques Audiard (“Emilia Pérez”) and Coralie Fargeat (“The Substance”), a first since 1997 where James Cameron’s “Titanic” swept the ceremony. In fact, 13 of the 20 actors recognized their inaugural noms.

“Emilia Pérez,” helmed by French director Jacques Audiard, is also nominated for best lead actress for Saldaña’s co-star Karla Sofía Gascón, best picture, director, adapted screenplay, cinematography, sound, score, original song (twice), editing, makeup and hairstyling and best international feature film (representing France).

The last Russian nominated for an Academy Award in an acting category was Mikhail Baryshnikov in '77 for 'The Turning Point'.

The 78th BAFTA Awards unveil their nominees with Conclave leading the race and Anora’s Sean Baker alone receiving five nominations.

The Oscar nominations were unveiled Thursday, with Netflix's "Emilia Perez" leading the charge on a whopping 13 nods.

Sean Baker is having himself a day. “I’m actually really still processing it. Crazy. For this to happen to a small indie like this really is mind-blowing,” the Anora mastermind tells Gold Derby about the film’s six Oscar nominations on Thursday,
