Editor joins the company s roster after a decade of working freelance with the likes of Beats By Dre, Apple, Google Brand Lab and Nike Global Brand Imaging
Whitehouse Post has enhanced its roster with the addition of prolific editor Oliver Best. Oliver joins the Whitehouse Los Angeles office after spending the past decade honing his craft as a freelancer working with esteemed companies including Creative Lab, Google Brand Studio, Nike Global Brand Imaging, Beats By Dre, Apple, and 72 and Sunny, to name just a few. In these changing times, Oliver looks forward to putting down roots and calling Whitehouse Post home.
After years of criticism for a lack of diversity, this year s slate of nominees contained some notable firsts. It was the first time an all-Black producing team was nominated for best picture, the first time two actors of Asian descent received a nod for best actor and the first year that two women were nominated for best director. When the winners were revealed, it reflected this spirit of inclusion.
Chloe Zhao took home the best directing trophy, becoming the second woman to claim the title. Her film, Nomadland, also snagged the top prize of the night, best picture.
However, in a strange balk of tradition, the award was not presented last. Instead it was handed out before the best actress and best actor awards. It is unclear why the Academy made this change.
