As the first Asian American actor to be nominated for Best Actress in 87 years, Yeoh’s win wouldn’t just be a win for her, but a win for us all.

And while Yeoh has taken home many a trophy this awards season, some awarding bodies have proven their impenetrable whiteness, which doesn’t look like it’ll budge any time soon.
