The pandemic may have shut down movie theaters, but it couldn't shut down The People vs. Oscars (or the Oscars themselves). With US theaters shut down, China's war blockbuster "The Eight Hundred" was the first foreign language highest worldwide grosser since we did "War and Peace." That went up against Chloe Zhao's "Nomadland," which became the first Best Picture winner to debut on Hulu. It's a brave new world.
