After the past 18 months, the 93rd Academy Awards feels distinctly different. As a journalist, the new capabilities on Zoom have allowed hundreds of journalists to join together for an expansive virtual media room. On the red carpet, filmmakers and stars appear to have a sense of relief and gratitude for the in-person affair. And the nominees in particular are increasingly more inclusive of different cultures and ideas through storytelling (a far cry from the #OscarsSoWhite controversy of years gone by).
Chloé Zhao was recognised for Best Director and Best Picture for Nomadland – a tale which follows a woman in her sixties and after losing everything in the Great Recession, travels throughout North America as a nomad. Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman won Best Original Screenplay – the film explores sexual assault and toxic masculinity and our complicity in the crime. And Daniel Kaluuya was honoured for Judas and the Black Messiah, a dramatised true story on the betrayal of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party in late-1960s Chicago.
