Michelle Yeoh Says Dedicate Her Oscar 2023 Victory To Asians

Michelle Yeoh Says Oscar Victory Would Be For “Whole Community Of Asians, Who Need Stories Told”

If Michelle Yeoh makes history with an Oscar win this weekend, she says it won’t just be for her, but for all Asians.
Yeoh, the first Asian woman to receive an Oscar acting nomination, is now the frontrunner in the Best Leading Actress category, after winning at both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
In the film Everything Everywhere All At Once, she plays Evelyn Wang, a Chinese-American immigrant who becomes the film’s unlikely hero after being swept into a surprising multiverse – a role Yeoh says reflects her challenge to be recognised in Hollywood, following her success in Chinese-language films.
