Michelle Yeoh, winner of the Oscar for lead actress, arrives at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California.

As a nominee, Yeoh was the first in the category who identified as Asian. Merle Oberon, who was nominated in 1935 for"The Dark Angel” but didn't win, hid her South Asian heritage, according to birth records."I think this is something we have been working so hard towards for a very long time and tonight, we freaking broke that glass ceiling! I kung fu-ed it out and shattered it,” Yeoh said.
The category also received notice for who wasn't nominated: In a year of strong performances from Black women like Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler , they were shut out. Meanwhile some criticised the grassroots campaigning by A-listers on social media for Riseborough."I have to dedicate this to my mum and all the moms in the world because they are really the superheroes and without them none of us would be here tonight,” she said.
Many decades from now she will be remembered the way we all remember P Ramlee.
