The award season is a glittering gauntlet where films vie for glory, but every so often, a movie emerges that does not just compete, it captivates. This year, that movie is Anora, the Mikey Madison-led rom-com that not only brings the genre back to its former glory but also sweeps every major award in sight. With the Oscars on the horizon, the question is not just whether Anora will win, it is how many trophies it will take home.

This rom-com, broken free from clichés, is already making Oscar waves, and with the awards it has racked up, it is easy to see why.

In a dazzling sweep, Anora has claimed the holy trinity of guild awards—PGA, DGA, and WGA, solidifying its place as the film to beat. The Producers Guild honored its flawless execution, the Directors Guild hailed Sean Baker’s visionary touch, and the Writers Guild crowned its razor-sharp screenplay. This trifecta is more than impressive, it is historic. Films that achieve this rare feat often dominate the Oscars, and Anora seems poised to follow suit.

Only six films in history have lost the top Oscar after securing the PGA, DGA, and WGA trifecta, and Anora is unlikely to be the seventh. With its universal acclaim, magnetic performances, and a script that balances humor and heartbreak, the film has become an unstoppable force this award season. The stage is set for a sweep, and Anora is not just aiming for gold, it is rewriting the rules of what a modern masterpiece can be.
