Nomadland’s” Chloé Zhao made history as well, becoming the second woman and the first woman of color to win an Oscar for directing. The film, a portrait of a woman who adopts a nomadic lifestyle, also won best picture.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’s” Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson became the first Black women to win an Oscar for makeup and hairstyle.
