Chinese-centric Bao claimed Best Animated Short 最佳动画短片 at the ceremony. The short is written and directed by Chinese-born Canadian director Domee Shi and produced by Pixar Animation Studios. Bao explores the life of a Chinese immigrant mom living in Toronto with her inattentive husband and struggling to cope with loneliness after her beloved son flies the nest. Remarkably, the mom's deep, empty-nester angst turns to joy when a cute, leftover dumpling (a bao) comes alive in true Pinocchio fashion.

Shi is the first woman and first Chinese writer and director of a Pixar short.
