Making history at the Oscars 2025: Five takeaways from the Academy Awards | Arts and Culture News

The seventy -seventh annual Academy Awards were concluded with the near Sweepe of Indie Darling Anora, which won five of the six categories that were nominated in it.

Many of these victories came in the most competitive areas at night: the best actress, best director, best original scenario and best editor.

At the end of the Awards on Sunday, Anura also recorded the biggest award, the best image.

Emilia Perez and Wixked music plays, which received 13 and 10 nominations, were found, respectively – but only won the Academy Awards.

It has also been proven to be the largest crowd among the Oscars more than another independent movie, The BRUTALIST, which achieved three wins out of 10 nominations.

But some of the largest fast food in the evening did not come in the final outcome of those who adhere to the largest Academy Awards. Instead, they came in the ideals adopted on the Oscars: bold data emphasizes the need for justice and recognition of our common humanity.

Here are five main topics that came out of the Oscars tonight.

There is no strong message to another land about ethnic cleansing

One of the biggest surprises at night came in the category of documentary features the best competitiveness, when the movie of any other land was named for the winner.

The film recounts the destruction of the Palestinian village of Masifer Yata in the occupied West Bank, where there is one of the film’s managers, Basra.

Adra collaborated with Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham to capture the violent attacks launched by Israeli settlers on Masafer Yatta, and pushed its Palestinian residents from their homes and burned structures to the ground.

The film also picks up the increasing friendship – but sometimes – between Adra and Abraham, where they move in the restrictions that the Palestinians face in the West Bank.

Although films that have cinematic festivals around the world, no distributor has come forward to give the documentary a wide version in the United States. To qualify for the Academy Awards on Sunday, film makers had to arrange one -week offer at the Lincoln Center in New York.

But film makers did not focus on these obstacles when they took Oscar to accept their prize. Instead, they maintained their statements that focused on the continued death and destruction facing the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

“About two months ago, she became a father,” said Adra to the public.

And I hope my daughter [is] She will not have to live the same life that I live now – always fear of settlers’ violence, demolishing houses and forced displacement that Yata society lives in my community and faces every day during the era of the Israeli occupation. “

Adra and Abraham appealed to the global community to pressure Israel to end human rights violations.

“There is no other land that reflects the harsh reality that we had been enduring for decades,” he explained. “We are calling the world to take serious measures to stop injustice and stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.”

Meanwhile, Ibrahim exactly made his comments to the American audience largely watching the Academy Awards.

Ibrahim added, “The foreign policy in this country helps prevent this path.” “Cann’t you see that we are intertwined – that my people can be really safe if the people of Basel are really free and safe?”

Anura puts the humanity of sex workers in the spotlight

With her five victories, Anura also shed light on a misunderstanding society and is often a pattern: sex workers.

The film follows the story of an American -Russian stripped anti -anora, who lives an unstable presence in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. When the little son of the Russian oligarsh takes on it, Anura begins to imagine a better life for herself – and when he suggests marriage, accepts.

But things are collapsing when the young father demands marriage – and the son escapes, leaving Anura to face the consequences alone.

This is not the first movie from director Sean Baker, who focuses on sex workers. His 2015 movie for Tangerine, which was fully filmed on iPhone, follows a pair of sexually transformed sex. It has been proven to be one of his distinguished songs.

Baker admitted the methods formed by sex workers and other people on the margins of society in one of the many admission letters on Sunday night.

“I would like to thank the sexual workers community. They have shared their stories. They have shared their lives experiences with me over the years. Baker said:” My deepest respect. “I share this.”

Mickey Madison, the leading lady of Anura, repeated his gratitude.

“I just want to know again and honor the sexual community,” she said.

“I will continue to support and be an ally. All amazing people – women who have the honor of meeting from this society – was one of the most prominent events in this entire amazing experience.”

Artists explode hatred and authoritarian tendencies, at home and abroad

Questions about democracy, discrimination and human rights in general were asked at night procedures, which is a precise but present model.

In a letter accepting the award for the best actor for his work in scientists, Al -Moaadi Adrian Broody spoke in perfect comprehensive phrases, as it was reflected on how Oscar triumph – this year and in 2003 – on the back of the Holocaust films.

“I am here again to represent the remaining shocks, the repercussions of war, systematic repression, anti -Semitism, racism, etc.” said Brodi.

“And I think – I pray to God – for a more healthy, happier and more comprehensive world. I think, if the past can teach us anything, this is a reminder of not allowing hatred without deterrence.”

Prodi was only twenty -nine years old when he won the best actor in the pianist, a story of a music survival in the Jewish neighborhood of Warsaw during World War II. This year, his photography category for Zalto Tott, a brutal architect who escapes from the Holocaust only to confront anti -Semitism and violence in the United States.

Another big winner dealt with the theme of the Brazil dictatorship, which lasted from 1964 to 1985.

Onis Piva’s real life story, which was held by his wife, a member of Congress by Brazilian soldiers, is unprecedented again. She devoted her life to revealing what happened to him.

While accepting the award for the best international feature, director Walter Salis praised the sacrifices of Piva.

“This goes to a woman, after a loss during an authoritarian regime, he decided not to bend and resistance,” Salis told the audience.

The resistance was also the subject of the late Oscar host, Conan O’Brien, who has greatly avoided the subject of politics throughout the night.

But when Anura began to increase victories, O’Brien could only take a fatal blow to US President Donald Trump, who showed a rapprochement of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin – a man accused of war crimes in Ukraine.

“Anura spends a good night. This is great news. Voices are already. O’Brien said to the riot:” I think the Americans are excited to see someone finally standing with a strong Russian. “

Sean Baker, Zoe Saldana and Paul Tazwell from Netosh “first” new

It was a historic night for many candidates, who broke new records by winning.

Unprecedented before, one artist moved away with four prizes on the same night for the same movie. That is, not even Baker did on Sunday with his movie Anura.

He won the award for the best director, best editing, best original scenario and best image, and its arms full with small golden statues by the end of the night.

But the other winners achieved victories that broke the barriers for diversity – an unimportant task at the Oscars, which distort eggs and males.

Paul Tazwell, for example, became the first African American man to win the best fashion design category, for his work on music adaptation in Broadway.

“This is completely amazing. Thank you, the academy, for this very important honor,” said Tazwell, taking the stage, suffocating passion. “I am the first black man to receive the fashion design award for my work on Wickked. I’m very proud of this.”

The crowd, at that point, jumped greatly to its feet.

The performance also highlighted Zoe Saldana, the historical nature of her victory, as she took the theater to accept the best actress for her work as she sings and danced in Emilia Perez.

“My grandmother came to this country in 1961. I am a proud child of immigrant fathers with dreams, dignity and diligent hands, and I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept the Academy Award.”

“I know that I will not be the last. I hope to get an award for a role where I got singing and speaking to the Spanish language – my grandmother, if she is here, you will be very happy.”

Performing artists testify to the strength of cinema

Despite the magic and magic at the Oscars on Sunday, a bitter truth prevails in Hollywood: the film industry has not yet arisen from the recession in the era of the epidemic after it struck Covid-19 in 2020.

The gross domestic return of box office sales in the United States decreased from more than $ 11 billion annually to $ 2 billion in 2020, according to the MJO ticket website.

Since then, sales slowly began to recover, but they have not yet reached this total before birth. In 2024, for example, only $ 8.6 billion US movie ticket sales were not generated.

With direct broadcasting services, artists appealed to the stage at the Oscars on Sunday, not to abandon the magic of films.

“Where did we fall in love with films? In the movie theater, Baker said, picking Oscar to the best director.

“Watching a movie in the theater with an audience is an experience that we can laugh together, cry together, screaming in fear together, and perhaps sitting in a devastating silence together. And while the world can feel very divided, this is more important than ever. It is a common experience that you do not simply get at home.”

At the same time, it is reflected on the unstable nature of following the behavior as a profession, at a time to increase instability in the arts. He struggled to decline in roles after his success in 2003 The Pianist.

“Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very shiny, and at certain moments, it is so. But the only thing you gained, and the privilege to return here, is to get some perspective. Regardless of your place in your career, regardless of what you have accomplished, everything can go away.”

Baker, on the other hand, highlighted the financial restaurants facing the cinemas itself, especially those locally owned.

“At the present time, the theater experience is threatened. He said that the theaters of the cinema, especially the theaters, independently owned, are struggling.” It is up to us to support them. “
