0:32Now Playing“Nomadland,” a film about a grief-struck woman traveling through the American West, won the Academy Award for best picture, delivering a major victory for Walt Disney Co. and ending an almost 20-year drought for Hollywood’s biggest studio.
Chloe Zhao, who made “Nomadland,” was crowned best director, becoming the first woman of color to win that award and contributing to an Oscars ceremony that was among the most inclusive in the academy’s history. The acting prizes also honored a diverse pool of talent -- including a Black man and an Asian woman -- six years after the #OscarsSoWhite movement used social media to cast a light on bias in Hollywood.
While the broadening pool of winners was welcome, the Oscars faced challenges. The ceremony had to be pared down because of the coronavirus pandemic, which meant fewer than 200 people attended in person at Union Station in Los Angeles. It was delayed by about two months, and there were no blockbusters among the films competing for the top prizes. That suggests Sunday’s broadcast on ABC may be even smaller than last year’s record-low audience.
