Awards and achievements
After its world premiere on May 21, 2024, at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, Anora went on to win the Palme d'Or and get widespread praise. Neon released the film in theatres on October 18, 2024. Despite having a modest $6 million budget, the film became Baker's highest-grossing feature. It grossed $51.9 million worldwide.
With Baker, Madison, and Borisov garnering nods at each ceremony, the film was nominated for five Golden Globes, seven BAFTAs (including Best Actress and Best Casting), and six Oscars (including Best Picture). Anora became the fourth to win both the top prize at Cannes and five Oscars, including Best Picture. Baker is the first person to ever win all four Oscars for the same film, and he tied Walt Disney's record for most Oscars won in a single year.
Among the best films of 2024, Anora was chosen by both the American Film Institute and the National Board of Review. It made history at the 30th Critics' Choice Awards when it became the first film to win Best Picture without receiving any of the other five nominations.
