'Anora' wins three Spirit Awards, including best film, and eyes Oscar success

Feb. 23, 2025

The past year has been "great for film, and a bad year for human life," host Aidy Bryant said to kick off the 40th Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday. The awards show for movies made for less than $30 million is a famously laid-back affair ("White Lotus" star Walton Goggins rocked a sleeveless shirt, Demi Moore brought her Chihuahua named Pilaf) held in a giant tent off the Santa Monica Beach. But many of Saturday's nominees are also vying for Oscar gold. With a little more than a week until the Academy Awards on March 2, the Indie Spirits honored writer and director Sean Baker's "Anora" with three major awards, including best feature, best director and best lead performance for star Mikey Madison.

Feb. 23, 2025

Pope Francis remains in critical condition, according to the Vatican, with blood tests showing mild signs of kidney failure “which is currently under control,” the Vatican said Sunday, as the 88-year-old pontiff battles pneumonia in both his lungs. It added that Francis, who was hospitalized over a week ago, has not shown further respiratory crises since yesterday evening. Some of his blood tests indicate “an initial, mild, renal failure, which is currently under control,” the Vatican said, adding that the Pope continues to be “vigilant and well oriented.”

SAG Awards 2025 winners: Demi Moore, Timothée Chalamet, 'Conclave' take top honors

Feb. 23, 2025

The Screen Actors Guild could have finally given us clear frontrunners in a wild Oscar season. Instead the thespians choose chaos. Papal thriller "Conclave" won best ensemble Sunday at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards, beating "Anora" and derailing its best picture momentum after directors' and producers' guild wins. Being that the actors are the largest voting body for the Academy Awards, "Conclave" could have a bit of an edge now for the top prize going into next Sunday's 97th Oscars ceremony. Timothée Chalamet ("A Complete Unknown") and Demi Moore ("The Substance") also picked up key best actor and actress wins at SAG – Chalamet's victory over "The Brutalist" star Adrien Brody was something of an upset. The supporting actor categories went as expected, though, with Zoe Saldaña winning for "Emilia Pérez" and Kieran Culkin for "A Real Pain."
