"Bao", a Pixar film directed by Chinese-Canadian Domee Shi, won the Oscar in the Best Animated Short Film category at the 91st Academy Awards in Los Angeles, U.S., on Sunday. Shi is the first female director to make short films at Pixar. Previously, the animation film studio had been criticized as a "boys' club," even though the animation industry is known as a male-dominated scene. Shi, born in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, immigrated to Canada at the age of two. In 2011, she began to work for Pixar as a storyboard artist and director.
