Oscars 2021: Chloe Zhao, from outsider to Hollywood history-maker
Published
image captionChloe Zhao with her Oscar for best director
Chloe Zhao has made history by becoming the first woman of colour - and only the second woman at all - to win the best director award at the Oscars.
Chinese-born, British-educated, US-based Zhao is also up for best picture and editing for Nomadland.
She is known for her quietly compelling portraits of people, often played by non-professional actors, in the margins of society in the American West.
But her next film will be a departure - a Marvel comic blockbuster, Eternals.
