It's amusing that 'Nomadland' director Chloé Zhao won the statuette of colour SECTIONS Last Updated: Apr 27, 2021, 08:15 AM IST Share AFP Related America continued to make classificatory history on Monday early morning when it announced that its Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had awarded one of its most coveted awards to a ‘woman of colour’ for the first time. 'Nomadland' director Chloé Zhao, understandably, is not complaining. She has received the coveted ‘statuette of (bright) colour’ as best director and, as she said in her acceptance speech, she has ‘always found goodness in the people’ she has met, people of no colour at all included. Good for her.
