After winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Sean Baker‘s Anora is currently riding high. Set to be released by NEON, the distributor likely has an Oscar player on their hands. Well, they’re certainly treating it as such, with the movie today being given an October release date. NEON has announced that Anora […] More
Last week, the 77th Cannes Film Festival came to a close. We have our newest slate of winners, led of course by Sean Baker‘s Anora (detailed here), and that always marks an interesting point in the year, at least for me. Prior to Cannes, it’s pretty silly to talk in anything more than purely hypotheticals about potential Academy […] More
Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general.

A new film from Sean Baker is certainly cause to celebrate for fans of independent cinema. Two years ago, Baker’s Red Rocket was a favorite of our own Joey Magidson, naming it his best film of 2021, alongside Simon Rex for Actor of the year. So, there’s likely rejoicing in his home that Baker has […] More
Yesterday, two very different films opened up in theaters. One is a potential wide release blockbuster, and a remake, to boot. The other is just in New York and Los Angeles, hoping to launch a platform release that defies the odds. Of course, I’m talking about the big in West Side Story and the small […] More
Sean Baker has thoroughly established himself as one of the more well regarded art house filmmakers out there. Along with his writing partner Chris Bergoch, they’ve been steadily building a following. Starlet and Tangerine built this credit, while The Florida Project really landed them in the Oscar race, scoring a nomination in Best Supporting Actor […] More
