Michelle Yeoh is the first Asian actress to win an Oscar, (deservedly so) for her performance in countless versions of an ambitious woman in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Her victory is a very important symbol that shows that the Oscars ceremony is open to other talents and cultures. Michelle was competing with Andrea Riseborough, Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams and Ana de Armas, strong contenders to receive the award.
Michelle's speech was sweet and emotional: “To all the little boys and girls watching at home, this is a beacon of hope and possibility. This is proof that dreams do come true. And ladies, don't let anyone tell you it's too late!” she concluded the speech.
The 60-year-old actress dedicated the award to her mother and then to all mothers in the world, because they are heroines. "She is 84 years old (referring to her mother) and I am taking this award home to her," said Yeoh.
People online said this is a historic victory. "Michelle Yeoh won an Oscar, but really, the Oscar won Michelle Yeoh," someone wrote on Twitter, praising her fantastic performance in "Everything Everywhere All At Once."
