The oscars
"The most prestigious awards ceremony of the year, the Oscars, took place on Sunday, and somehow managed to be both ground-breaking and anti-climactic, all at the same time. Despite being the least-watched Oscars on record, and adopting a more unusual format that left viewers underwhelmed, it wasn’t moving the award for ‘Best Picture’ to earlier in the show that changed history in the 93rd Academy Awards. It was, in fact, Chloe Zhao’s historic victory in taking home the Oscar for ‘Best Director.’ She is the first woman of colour to win one of the most coveted awards, and the second woman ever to be given this title. As enthusiastic film critics ourselves, the members of The Last Word were overjoyed to see women of colour finally being recognised, appreciated and represented in the film industry. To us, this signals a step in the right direction in making the world of film a more inclusive place that celebrates diversity."
