Anora recently cleaned up at this year's Oscars, winning five awards, including Best Picture.

The movie follows an enterprising sex worker who links up with a very rich and very

immature young man. And very quickly, their transactional encounter turns into more, as in a

quickie, Vegas wedding. But there's one pretty big problem. Her new in-laws are Russian oligarchs,

and they are livid, and they'll do everything in their power to put an end to this

well-win romance.

Anora is now streaming on Hulu, so now is your time to catch up with the movie if you missed it
