Michelle Yeoh becomes first Asian best actress winner at the Oscars for Everything Everywhere All at Once
Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to take home the best actress accolade at the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday night.
Yeoh, 60, became the second woman of colour to win best leading actress, following Halle Berry for Monster's Ball more than two decades ago. Accepting her award, she said: "For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities.""This is proof that dreams do come true," Yeoh said in her speech.
"I think this is something that we have been working so hard towards for a very long time and tonight we frigging broke that glass ceiling," she said. "I kung-fud it out and shattered it, and we need this because there are so many who have felt unseen or unheard." "My journey started on a boat," The Goonies star said. "I spent a year in a refugee camp and somehow I ended up here on Hollywood's biggest stage."
