Mikey Madison, 25, is now a winner of an Oscar, bringing the best actress home for her main role in “Anora” (but her character prefers “Ani”). Anora de Madison is a sex worker in the mid -1920s and a second generation Russian immigrant who fell into a relationship with the son of an oligarch, Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn). Her story of Cinderella turns into a comedy with Vis à Vis, then leaves her right away where she started when Vanya’s disapproving parents learn the flight.
We have / the film are big fans of “anora” and have Proudly called it the best film of 2024. Madison’s performance is a large part of the reason why we love it so much, and its Oscar victory will undoubtedly propel its even higher career. “Anora” undoubtedly proves that she has the presence on the screen and the talent to continue to reach even higher heights.
I saw Madison act for the first time in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, but the first time I REMARK She was when she played Amber Freeman in “Scream”. Her big eyes and smile gave her perfect face for an innocent false killer; As my colleague BJ Colangelo noted, Madison is the first Ghostface to become an Oscar winner!
The director of “Anora”, Sean Baker, also noticed Madison’s performance in “Scream” and, once he did it, he knew he wanted to work with her. I love Madison in “Scream”, but his performance in “Anora” breathtaking me. She is hysterical, overflowing with Moxy and Charisma, and just reveals the right amount of vulnerability. His accent affected by Brooklyn is thick, but he does not look like a caricature. Ani, rather than Madison, has the impression that she plays herself as a hard girl from the Yawk Noo streets. The actress makes Ani feel like such a real person that she integrates perfectly with real sex workers playing colleagues from Ani.
Mikey Madison has set up an Oscar’s wave of anora
Looking at the complete list of winners, “Anora” was THE Big winner of these Oscars, not two ways about it. Baker also won the best director, the best editing and the best original script, while the film itself obtained the best film.
Before that, Madison had accumulated some victories on the awards ceremony, including the best performance in the Independent Spirit Awards, the best actress of the online company of film critics, the performance of Breakthrough at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and the main actress of the BAFTA. However, the alleged favorite is half Moore for “The Substance” – Moore had won the best actress at the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, and above all, at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which is a voting body composed of its artist colleagues. And since the actors have such an overwhelming majority in the voting ranks of the Oscars, it was a good bet that Moore would win another Oscar trophy.
It will be tempting that Moore fans reject Madison as just the new brilliant thing (especially Given what “substance” is …) But that does not serve “anora”.
Madison is now the ninth largest woman to win the best actress. “It’s very surreal,” she opened her acceptance speech. She lost Anora’s accent, but her words showed signs of the dreamer that her character is: “I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood has always felt so far from me, so being standing here today is really incredible.”

Anora may have lost her fairy tale ending, but the Oscars crowned Mikey Madison as their new interim queen.
