For the first time in its 95-year history, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has awarded the Oscar for best actress in a leading role to an Asian woman. Michelle Yeoh accepted the Oscar for her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, a zany sci-fi adventure. The honor came after a long career in martial arts and action movies like “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” and “Yes, Madam”.

“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon(灯塔) of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said from the stage. “This is proof that dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you that you are ever past your prime(巅峰). Never give up.” Yeoh dedicated the award to her mom and all the mothers in the world. “They are the real superheroes, and without them, none of us will be here tonight,” she said.

At the Oscars, Yeoh is only the third Asian woman—following Yuh-Jung Youn for “Minari” and Miyoshi Umeki for “Sayonara”—and the first in the lead category to win an acting prize. In winning the trophy(奖杯), Yeoh beat Cate Blanchett for “Tár”, Michelle Williams for “The Fabelmans”, Andrea Riseborough for “To Leslie” and Ana de Armas for “Blonde”. 

“I wouldn’t be standing here tonight without the Daniels, without the amazing cast and crew and everyone involved with ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’,” Yeoh said. “Also, my extended family in Hong Kong, where I started my career. Thank you for letting me stand on your shoulders.” As she exited the stage, she shouted, “Thank you to the Academy—this is history in the making!”
