Nomadland Director Chloe Zhao On Her Historic Golden Globe Win
Nomadland has won the Golden Globe for best picture drama, making history for the Globes, as well as for director Chloé Zhao and for the Nomadland producing team. The win is the first time a film directed by a woman has ever won the top prize in the Globes 78 ceremonies. And since Zhao produced Nomadland as well, shes also the first Asian woman to win best picture drama as a producer. Star Frances McDormand, who also produced Nomadland, is the second woman to be nominated for a Golden Globe both for producing and acting, and the first to win as a producer. The victory solidifies the frontrunner status of the Searchlight film as Oscar season begins in earnest. And because Zhao directed, wrote, produced and edited the lauded Nomadland, she has become the mostawarded filmmaker in a single awards season.
