The critically acclaimed “Nomadland”—about a marginalized, older generation of Americans roaming the West in rundown vans—on Sunday won the coveted Oscar for best picture.

The much-celebrated film from Beijing-born director Chloe Zhao bested “The Father,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Mank,” “Minari,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Sound of Metal” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
