Se dovessimo analizzare l’andamento dei premi della critica regionale staunitense ad oggi, vi confermeremmo che Anora di Sean Baker è il titolo con più riconoscimenti e menzioni per il premio maggiore. A cui seguono Brady Corbet alla regia di The Brutalist, mentre tra gli attori la spuntano numericamente sugli altri Adrien Brody e Mikey Madison.
Non fanno eccezione i circoli della critica di Dallas- Fort Worth e quelli del Sud-Est statunitense, che premiano entrambi Anora e la sua straordinaria protagonista Mikey Madison. Tra gli interpreti di supporto, ce la fanno Guy Pearce per The Brutalist e un “pareggio” tra Zoe Saldana per Emilia Perez e Ariana Grande in Wicked.
