Nomadland, directed by the Chinese filmmaker Chloé Zhao, is part of a long lineage of non-American American art, from Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas to Andrea Arnold’s American Honey. It grapples with grief, the betrayals of capitalism, and the lure of the open road.

On a night in which Netflix led all studios with 35 Oscar nominations, traditional distributors had the last laugh, as Searchlight's Nomadland landed the top prize. Likewise, Chloé Zhao picked up the best director statue for the film, a modern-day odyssey of the dispossessed surviving on the edges of the American dream.
