Sean Baker has won best director at the Oscars for “Anora,” the story of a Brooklyn exotic dancer who marries the impetuous son of a Russian oligarch.

By winning the Oscars for director, original screenplay, film editing and best picture (as a producer), he tied the record for most Oscars won by an individual in one year.

“Anora,” the dark romantic comedy about a Brighton Beach stripper who falls for the unreliable son of a wealthy Russian oligarch, was the big winner at the Oscars on Sunday scoring five of its six nominations, including best picture, best director for Sean Baker, and best actress for Mikey Madison.
