Zhao won the Oscar for best director for “Nomadland,” becoming just the second woman and the first woman of color to win the award.
Kathryn Bigelow was the first woman to win, for “The Hurt Locker,” in 2009.
This was the only year in Oscar history with two female nominees, Zhao and “Promising Young Woman” director Emerald Fennell. Only seven women have ever been nominated.

Academy Awards Night used to be so much fun, years back when I really cared about it. I’m not knocking anyone for watching or enjoying it. Go for it! Freedom of choice.
I just don’t keep up with most of it now. Some I read about on other sites, for the entertainment value, but I haven’t been to a MOVIE-movie even long before COVID.
If I see previews that look interesting or promising,
I never say never.
So the entire world except Europeans are “people of color”, 6 billion of them, which makes me a minority yet my country is importing the majority POC to replace me........ That’s racist!
Waiting for the NBA and Lebron to denounce this gal for her opinion on China in 3, 2, 1...
“...second woman and the first woman of color to win the award”
Well, how do you like that surprise? Was the jury pool tainted, perhaps?
Do Chinese qualify as “people of color”?
Same, my mom & I would watch every year..discuss the movies we’d seen & the dresses/hairstyles etc..
It was a yearly tradition but those days long gone.
Oscars & their ilk a woke joke
I’m hoping the ratings prove me true
Let’s see...Earth’s population is almost 8 billion. Whiteys mainly live in the USA, Canada, and Europe, just over 1 billion people. So 12% of the world’s population is undesirable non-POC or POPs (People of Pallor). The POPs are a small minority of the world, yet they are the root of ALL evils in the world.
Sure does remind me of how Hitler and Goebels perfected “the Jews” in 1930s Germany.
>> woman of color
I give... which color?
Watched a few minutes while flipping channels. Saw some black woman talking about some black woman that suffered in the past. Lovely building they were in, the sound was horrible though and it felt flat and boring. Have no desire to see what was nominated, though will probably see “Nomadland,” as my mother will probably want to. Surprised Anthony Hopkins beat the recently deceased black actor, Chadwick Boseman, just because Mr. Boseman probably has few if any chances to win now.
She’s a real credit to her tribe. She doesn’t “look like us” so this sh*t is “history”.

“Anthony Hopkins beat the recently deceased black actor, Chadwick Boseman”
I didn’t think white people were allowed to win awards anymore. That’s a shocker. Figured it would be BET awards only.
Sounds like a garbage movie.
I guess that means the Chinese would have to be Peking in to see it.
She spent several years in South Dakota following cowboys around for her 2nd film. And here’s some of her other stuff:
It’s the most depressing movie... McDormand character husband dies and she drifts away from this crappy small town and works menial jobs traveling from city or should say town to town with other 60-somethings living in vans working contract type jobs like boxing things at Amazon. She is admired by other women from her hometown for having the guts to drift around and live this lifestyle. Hence ‘Nomad’ from the title but ‘vagabondland’ would have been more apt as characters were light on self-providing.
But the Dems will make sure he still votes!

It’s actually a good movie.
