🧐 Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh, 60, blasted CNN host Don Lemon in her acceptance speech on Sunday, saying she hoped her win encouraged other women not to “let anybody tell you you are past your prime.'
Jubilation? This doesn’t change anyone’s life. It just gives some of the most selfish people on the planet a chance to look altruistic on camera.
Finally.. Asian..
shame they waited until it was complete meaningless and no one even watches
Oh boy ppl winning because of their nationality/skin color/gender, other than their talents.
Well deserved! 👏👏👏
Guess TheAcademy couldn’t find any Asian American to give the award to? AANHPI are oppressed by the bamboo ceiling & can never get ahead in USA. Oscars do better, not all Asians are foreigners. Many AAPI have US birth certificates & passports. 1/4 are Chinese Americans.
I thought she was Taiwanese

Michelle Yeoh wins best actress award, making Oscar historyLOS ANGELES (AP) — Michelle Yeoh has won the Academy Award for best actress and made history all at once. The Malaysian-born actor became the first Asian woman to win the Academy Award for best actress on Sunday for her multifaceted performance in the multiversal “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Yeoh appeared a lock after winning seemingly every award — including the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award — for her nuanced portrayal of Evelyn, an immigrant Chinese wife, mother and laundromat operator bracing for a tax audit. The truth is Academy award and dollar popularity has nosedived, so they are now honouring Indian and Chinese actors and movies. We can see through it and this is end of white supremacy. Malaysian be proud!
