‘Anora’ Oscar win carries Academy Awards into a new era

Last fall, Sean Baker was sitting in a Manhattan restaurant, talking about a poll. When Baker’s “Anora” swept the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday, its five wins, including best picture, heralded a different kind of Oscar winner. “Anora,” about an erotic dancer (Mikey Madison, the best actress winner ) who marries the son of a Russian oligarch, is atypically sexually explicit for a best picture winner — a class that includes more staid movies like “The King’s Speech” and “Driving Miss Daisy.”
