Director Sean Baker’s Anora — which won five Oscars, including best picture — centers on Ani (Madison), a young sex worker who impulsively marries the son of a powerful Russian businessman. During her acceptance speech, Madison said she appreciated the chance to honor the sex worker community.

When 25-year-old Mikey Madison was awarded the Best Actress Oscar on Sunday for her portrayal of the titular sex worker in Best Picture-winning comedy drama Anora, she joined a prestigious list of actors to have won an Academy Award before the age of 30.
