SEOUL: When Sean Baker took home four statuettes at this year's Oscars - a feat unmatched since Walt Disney in 1954 - it cemented the director's reputation as cinema's preeminent chronicler of the sex worker community.
His film "Anora," about a Brooklyn stripper whose fairy-tale marriage to a Russian oligarch's son unravels spectacularly, won five Oscars, with four going to Baker himself: best director, best original screenplay, best editing and best picture.
