I totally get it now
@Drizzle , I want Mikey Madison to win the Oscar too.
I really, really loved Anora.

Sean Baker put a very interesting twist on the Cinderella story. I think Ani was one of the most likable characters I ever seen on screen recently. I know chicks like her, I know trustfund babies like Vanya, it just hit all the right boxes for me.
The only gripe I have is that Baker could've had more people of color in the background. I know Coney Island like the back of my hand, yes it is majorly Russian and I get that's what he was going for, but there are still loads more POC in that same section. Especially that candy shop Vanya's friends worked at, I go to that shop all the time and it's ran by Puerto Ricans.
But that aside, great story. I'm rooting for both Mikey and Demi now at the Oscars.
