NEW YORK — Sean Wang’s two grandmothers live together. “Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó,” Wang’s deeply charming portrait of his grandmothers, is nominated for best documentary short at the Academy Awards. “When you first asked us to be movie stars, we were like, ‘This must be a joke,’” Chang says in an interview by Zoom alongside Yi, with Wang joining from Los Angeles. At the same time that “Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó” was landing its Oscar nomination, Wang’s feature film directorial debut, “Dìdi,” was a sensation at the Sundance Film Festival. Says Wang: “They’re offer only.” ___ Follow AP Film Writer Jake Coyle at: http://twitter.com/jakecoyleAP ___ For more on this year’s Oscars, visit: https://apnews.com/hub/academy-awards
