Anora emerges as frontrunner in competitive Oscar Best Picture race

The race for Best Picture at the Oscars has become competitive, with Sean Baker's film "Anora" emerging as the frontrunner after wins at the Producers Guild and Directors Guild. The Oscars will take place on March 2. Other contenders include "Conclave," which has not yet won a major award, and James Mangold's "A Complete Unknown," which has strong support but lacks prior wins. "Emilia Pérez" and "The Brutalist" are also in the mix, with varying chances. "Anora" has regained its status as a top contender after a series of wins, including the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Its success may hinge on the upcoming Screen Actors Guild Awards.
