TheWrap magazine: "I don’t like to do anything halfway," says the soft-spoken actress whose turn as a sex worker earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress The post ‘It’s All or Nothing for Me’: How Mikey Madison Gave Her Powder Keg Performance in ‘Anora’ appeared first on TheWrap.

I've been catching up on the big titles that have been raking up nominations, including finally watching Sean Baker's Anora. And if actress Mikey Madison doesn't get an Oscar nomination I'm going to freak out.

But it’s Madison’s hair that proved Oscar-worthy on her most recent outing. The actor was photographed outside CBS Studios yesterday (January 23) in New York City, with her long brunette hair in dreamy, soft Hollywood waves.

In many ways Anora feels like a fairy tale. Except that the film's title character - Ani to her friends - is a stripper and occasional sex worker. And her Prince Charming is the spoiled son of a Russian oligarch.

When Sean Baker and Mikey Madison arrive at the Deadline shoot for this article, it's a beautiful, clear blue-sky day in Los Angeles. Just for a moment, it's almost as though the fires and smoke of the past few weeks are an imagined horror.
