For the time being at least, the weirdness has its silver linings. Not least the fact that 2021 is shaping up to be an exceptional year in terms of diversity and representation.
Look at the Oscar nominations, for example: two women nominated for best director for the first time (Chloé Zhao for Nomadland; Emerald Fennell for Promising Young Woman), the first Asian-American best actor nominee (Steven Yeun for Minari), the first Muslim best actor nominee (Riz Ahmed for Sound of Metal), and nearly half the top acting nominations going to people of colour.
