Anora was the big winner at the Oscars a week ago, securing awards for best picture, actress, and director, among others. This major achievement puts the movie in the spotlight and increases interest through both legal and illegal channels. Fresh data collected by TorrentFreak shows that pirate downloads surged right after the awards ceremony ended.

I've long since given up on thinking Oscar winners equate to good films. It's a closed voting system subject to cronyism and hidden agendas. I honestly would trust my time spent more with movie recommendations made by all you asshats on Lemmy. I'm not going to bury my head in the sand on Anora - the preview did nothing for me at all, but after winning all those awards, I'll at least see what the fuss was about via pirating most likely. For 2024 films though, I've got Lisa Frankenstein on my to watch list before Anora though.
