Chinese-Canadian animator Domee Shi collected an Academy Award for best animated short for her directorial debut, Bao. The Disney-Pixar film resonated with many Asian communities around the world for representing their culture and heritage.
In her acceptance speech, Shi gave a shout out to all the "nerdy girls" in the world. "To all the nerdy girls out there that hide behind their sketch books, don't be afraid to tell your stories to the world!" she said.
"You're gonna creep them out but you're probably gonna connect with them too and that's an amazing feeling to have."
