'Anora,' Adrien Brody and the full Oscars recap
USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa recaps the 97th Academy Awards from Los Angeles, where 'Anora' was the night's big winner.
It's the night we wait for all awards season: the Oscars.
The stars wowed in their most opulent fashions on the red carpet and host Conan O'Brien dished out jokes from Hollywood's Dolby Theatre. And then came time for the envelopes and the 24-karat gold-plated statuettes. The unique musical "Emilia Pérez" went into the night with 13 nominations, and took home two wins. 'The Brutalist' and 'Wicked' had 10 nods each, and left with three and two wins, respectively.
Sunday truly belonged to a woman named "Anora." The independent film starring Mikey Madison walked away with five Oscars – the most of the evening – including honors for best actress, best director and the night's biggest prize of best picture.
