This is my favourite piece we ran over the Oscars weekend - @NoorNanji spoke to the sex workers in Anora about what it was like to star in the film, and what they think about the way it portrays strippers.
I met the real-life sex workers of #Anora - and they only went & won it. Last night, they told me they hope its #Oscars win leads to a shift in the way their community is perceived #Oscars2025 @BBCNewsEnts
