Chloé Zhao’s history-making Oscar wins, for best director and best picture, are being met with a muted response in her country of birth, and even censorship.
Zhao’s “Nomadland” is the second film directed by a woman to win a best picture Oscar. She is the first woman of color and second woman ever to win the Oscars for best director.
But in China, where Zhao was born and where people in the film industry have often spoken of their ambition to win an Oscar, her history-making success has not been trumpeted or celebrated. State media in China remained silent as of Monday afternoon, with no mention of her wins by either CCTV or the Xinhua News Agency, the two main state-run outlets.
