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.

It’s a good movie; telling a story of one woman’s reason for becoming a nomad, but also telling other nomad’s reasons for hitting the road and chucking the “9 to 5 buy a house and a lot of cheap junk to furnish it and pay taxes until you’re broke” lifestyle. Nomads take the road less traveled.

Maybe the filming is a little dark and the mood a little sad, but it’s also a reality for a lot of folks; even more so now that Biden and the leftists are running things.

I enjoyed the movie; shed a tear in parts and laughed in a couple more. I’ve been watching nomad stuff for a while and spent a summer being a nomad a few years back, even though I am a medical professional; and I have plans to do it again this summer. I call it my sabbatical from society.

If you have Hulu, it’s included in their movie stock. Give it a chance, turn it off if it depresses you. Hopefully it will make you think about what is important in life so you can make changes and enjoy the important stuff.

No thanks. Sounds like another depressing story about living an empty lifestyle.

I would rather watch 1950s cowboy movies. They are always uplifting movies.

Asians are definitely people of color, as they range from pale yellow (Chinese), to dark brown (southern Indian). In all seriousness, if we define all non-Europeans as “people of color,” then anyone east or south of the Bosporus would count. Don’t get me started on the “Hispanic” BS we have in the US.

Suit yourself. Just because I don’t blow all my income on status items, my life it’s far from “empty”
