Domee Shi on what ‘Turning Red’ Oscar nomination means for representation in filmHours after learning she had snagged an Oscar nomination for best animated feature, stunned Toronto filmmaker Domee Shi said the nod offered welcome “validation” that stories led by diverse characters can succeed. Polley's ensemble drama “Women Talking” scored two nominations for its book-to-screen reimagining of Manitoba author Miriam Toews' 2018 novel of the same name. The film brings Polley her second adapted screenplay Oscar nomination, following the 2007 feature “Away From Her” about a long-married couple impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. Montreal makeup artist Adrien Morot scored a nomination for best makeup and hairstyling for his work on “The Whale,” along with Judy Chin and Anne Marie Bradley. Winners will be announced March 12 at a ceremony hosted by late night comic Jimmy Kimmel and airing on CTV.
