Baker’s four Oscars for “Anora” are validation of his sensitive portrayals of people on the margins who always seem to come up short.

With wins for best picture, directing, writing and editing on 'Anora,' Baker has just set a new bar for Oscars success.

Sean Baker is having a Cinderella story of his own.

He added to a pretty sweet haul this year, also taking home Oscars for Best Editing and Original Screenplay.
