Sean Mandell: LA-based entertainment reporter recaps the big winners from the 2025 Oscars - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Anora was the big winner at today's Oscars - triumphing despite a low budget.

The film won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress.

Creator Sean Baker won for director, editing and original screenplay, tying with Walt Disney for the record of four wins in one night.

LA-based entertainment reporter Sean Mandell says it's a true independent film. 

"It was made for $6 million - which sounds like a lot of money, but to make a movie, it's not a lot of money at all."
