- Graeme O'Neil takes a look at how Halle Berry and the Asian community in Hollywood reacted to Michelle Yeoh's win for Best Actress at the 2023 Academy Awards, including Sandra Oh, Lucy Liu, Simu Liu, Gemma Chan, Daniel Dae Kim, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong, Ming-Na Wen, Stephanie Hsu, Harry Shum Jr., and Michelle's Mom.

What's great about Michelle is that she started out making the kind of movie that the Oscar voters didn't even want to know about: the action entertainment popcorn movies they disdained. (She's certainly the only Oscar winner who rode a motorcycle at 50 miles an hour onto a moving train, in Supercop). Gradually, she earned respect as a sensitive, consistently intelligent actress until Hollywood simply couldn't ignore her any more. I don't know of any recent Academy Award victory that's more richly deserved.
I am still waiting for any MALE actor to match her daredevil motorcycle to train stunt.
In the same flick, Michelle jumped onto the side of of van in heavy traffic, then nimbly did a back
somersault to the top of the van, + from there, jumped into a speeding sport car.
They disdained those movies, but those are the movie that keep the Hollywood machine moving. They kind of recognize that by nominating for best picture Top gun maverick and Avatar, both have huge box office and finally with Michelle winning. A well deserved Oscar.
Actually Jackie Chan did too, but still, amazing Michelle Yeoh
@@hilarychuo4251we're talking abt female actor here not a male actor in leading role! 🙄
@@maggiechan33
And that was done without the use of the green screens.
I've just realised that not only this is a milestone event for Michelle and for world cinema, it's also a milestone for Bond girls. Halle giving Michelle the Oscar is like the only 2 Bond girls in history winning the Academy award .
next up: Ana de Armas
V true indeed
Omg. You're right!!!! 😯😊
Pierce Brosnan era
mmmmmmmmmmm Judi Dench ??
The win during Women's History Month makes it that much more better. Women empowering women is awesome. Halle Berry was so emotional. Seeing the 3 women walk hugging each other was truly beautiful to see. 💪🏽
Also, don't forget that Michelle Yeoh and Halle Berry were Bond girls too...
Along with Being Ex-Miss World Delegates Who Competed in Different Years Within the Same Decade Representing their Respective Countries. 🇲🇾 🇺🇸
Sandra Oh is just love. I remember her presence when Parasite won. She is absolutely there for her Asian contingent
I literally cried when her name was called! I have been a fan of her movies for a while now and especially loved her role in Crazy Rich Asians! She emulates class, professionalism and grace! This win is so historic for so many reasons. I am married to a Hong Kong born naturalized American (and my sister is, too) and have a large extended Asian family. Asian women have been fighting so hard to get quality roles in the film industry for so long. As one who has been reading books from female Asian and Asian-American authors telling their stories of hardship for almost 25 years, this really resonates with me. I am sooo over the moon for Michelle Yeoh and hope we will see her for many years to come!
Action-movie fans should check out Tomorrow Never Dies. It's a blast and Michelle Yeoh kinda steals the show from 007.
we've come so far and still have so far to go. almost 100 years of oscars and only 2 women of colour. i'm so happy she won. i hope this means more to come.
Indeed
But sadly many people will use the fact that 2 women of color DID win as example why there isn't anything wrong with the Oscars
so now asian actors and actresses have won in all 4 acting categories. actor for ben kingsley, actress for michelle yeoh, supporting actor for haing s. ngor, ke huy quan, supporting actress for miyoshi umeki, youn yuh-jung
indeed
Racism has a big contributory influence on the chances of winning
As a father of 2 daughters of Chinese descent (and one son!) I am so happy for Michelle's win (and several others) - this makes me so proud for the encouraging message it sends!
21 years a ago the first POC woman won an Oscar for leading actress?! That’s 🤯. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan being from lesser wealthy countries and making these historical strides hits so had. Even within our own communities, there can be prejudice because of financial status and nationality. So I hope this is just a window what it is to come.
Ke Huy Quan was a refugee (Google ‘Vietnamese boat people’) escaping Vietnam, a nightmarish regime at the time, during the late 1970s when he was only 7 years old. He was actually one of the lucky few who made it to the refugee camps alive. He really came from nothing and then luck was on his side when he was spotted by casting directors.
As much as I adore Michelle Yeoh’s talent and work ethics, she actually came from a very privileged background which she, herself, acknowledged. Her father was a politician and her mother was a lawyer in Malaysia. Her parents later moved to the UK so that she could attend Royal Academy of Dance (whose tuition is not cheap for international students). And after being done with pageantry in the 1980s, she was offered movie roles while appearing in a commercial with Jackie Chan in Hong Kong.
And the rest is herstory.
Luck is definitely Michelle Yeoh’s best friend.
@@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai absolutely. Michelle is a true Crazy Rich Asian. Still love her. She's humble and faced adversity in this industry.
I first saw Michelle back in the late 80s and early 90's when she did action movies in HK.
Fast forward 15 years later, she had a stellar performance in Crunch Tiger Hidden Dragon in 2001.. then the Crazy Rich Asian.. and now EEAAO (2022). What a journey for her to be finally recognized. I also love Cate... but I am so thrilled for Michelle winning the Best Actress this year at age 60.
I'm happy Michelle Yeoh won Oscars Best Actress.. as Asian specifically Southeast Asian finally represent matters.. still I cry when I saw Michelle Yeoh winning momentum
She’s East Asian
@@bobbelcher678 she's Malaysian so she's Southeast Asian.
@@MrFbi91 Ugh some people are just hmmf, right?
She's Malaysian by citizenship, she was born there. So she is Malaysian but of Hokkien and Cantonese ancestry.
@@bobbelcher678check your fact!
The fact that Halle was on stage to give Michelle her Oscar was 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍
Halle Berry said she was going to open the door and she did. I love this for her.
@@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex the fact that the door was even closed for this long speaks volumes
@@perryjones7771 it absolutely does.
I remember watching her kick ass in James Bond, no Bond girl was like her and when I was kid I wanted to be like her 😃 What an incredible career she has, she is a true inspiration.
Michelle Yeoh has a rich forty plus year filmography, she so deserves this win. My thoughts go back to the late Anna May Wong of the 1930s, who never had the chance to play a lead role, or be accepted for anything beyond stereotype. I'm sure her spirit was in the room rejoicing at the acknowledgment.
I love it. Michelle's been kicking ass for a long time as an actress and a martial artist. It's great to finally see her win this prestigious award. As far as races and cultures being represented, I look forward to a time when it won't matter--it'll simply be the best actor winning regardless of race or culture.
Michelle DID win because she gave the best performance, regardless of race or culture.
@@GraemeONeil Just a note Graeme, an Oscar winning Bond girl presented an Oscar to another Bond girl that night! Jimmy Kimmel also missed this, Michelle Yeoh and Brendan Fraser were in the movie, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" together! So, it was not only Brendan and Ke in Encino Man. What a night!
Not forgetting another ex-Bond Girl! Ana De Armas for "Blonde"!
@@yamwaimeng5933 JIMMY MISSED THE MARK ON THAT SHOUT OUT
Halle Berry is such a class act! We need more people like her and Jamie Lee seriously. People need to stop arguing about who deserves it more over the other.
Thanks for putting this together. I was trying to find out other Asian actors and entertainers reaction to Michelle Yeoh’s historic win. Loved seeing the support she got from all her Asian peers in the industry!
I love in the background you can see Sandra Oh cheering like hell and jumping
She certainly did shatter the glass ceiling for people of colour who think it won't ever happen that I'll win an Oscar. Michelle, and Ke are just proof that you shouldn't give up on your dreams no matter how far from your hands you think your dreams are.
Amazing actress!! Period ✊👏👏👏👏
Michelle speaks beautifully! I hope you will be in Crazy Rich Asians 2! Put in a good word for Ke Huy Quan!! 🥰
hoping someday all equal when it comes to achievements like Oscars
I wanna Native American, African, Latina, Filipina, Middle Eastern, Native European, Trans, Little People won Oscars Best Actress
There has been a Little Person who won best supporting actress . Linda Hunt has hypopituitary dwarfism and won her Oscar for her role in The Year of Living Dangerously. Interestingly, she played an Asian male which, understandably, would not go over now.
But befor those community FIRST WINNERS, we need to have first Transgender Oscar winner, first gay winner, first lesbian winner, first non binary winner, first bisexual winner......then first demisexual winner and other 100 pronoun winner and then first Alien winner to happen at the Oscars....
You know when I was a kid I was really fascinated by Benazir Bhutto a former prime minister of Pakistan and I'm of Chinese descent. I don't think minority kids in western countries need to wait until they see fictional characters in movies and TV that look like them to feel inspired. Or kids that played football or soccer around the world were inspired by Pele, Maradona, Brazil's Ronaldo for example even if they were Asians. Although I do support diversity, there's really no need to see people that look like you in fictional work from your country of birth/residence to feel inspired in my opinion. Just look around you in real life.
Finally she gets recognition for her work!❤ I love all her movies
Gemma Chan wrote the most gorgeous tribute.
Thank you Graeme for reviewing this. You got a sub! Love from KL, Malaysia. 😉
Even Michelle's mom was making the hand bagel sign !
I think I have never been so happy for someone winning the Oscars as I am right now! 💜🔥
So happy for Michelle Yeoh ❤
Bravo to Michelle great actress
I have not seen the movie but I loved crazy rich Asians and she played in it. Also crouching tiger hidden dragon. Well done to Michelle.
She was also in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor with Brendan Fraser but no one is talking about it because it’s a bad movie
@@viktorcheng2061Bad but fun movie - not as good as the OG, but it had its moments. Plus always nice to see Michelle Yeoh kick ass as an immortal sorceress
SO WONDERFUL...IT'S ABOUT TIME!
This is something very special, not only because she's Asian, she's from the most discriminated region in Asia, the "Jungle Asians" as some would call. I am so proud to be a fan since I was a kid, proud SEA!
jungle asia? wat the hell r u talking about... please go travel
Yeah... The 'Jungle Asian' which have the tallest twin tower, and the 2nd tallest building in the world...
@@ryzalchung8976 Not to mention, the biggest producers of professionals in various industries and home to the warmest people in the world.😉
@@athenstar10 true...
Thank you Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh for bringing Malaysia name to the top 👏🏽
I first saw her in Tomorrow Never Dies and was so glad to see that she was a badass. Perfect female Bond. I love her in every universe😍😍😍
As a Chinese/Korean American living in Hawaii, Michelle Yeoh is my diaspora Queen and I am just her humble subject.
Michelle and Halle two of my favorite bond girl!
I love her story and I love how this struggle has made her stronger and more beautiful
She is a great actress and a beautiful
Person. Thank goodness she won!
I've been a fan of Michelle's for decades! This was so awesome.
When I was a child, Michelle had already an international superstar, but have never thought she would win Oscar. Glad she becomes the first Asian woman win leading actress. I love her. She is our pride.
Growing up as an Asian boy, in the late 1970s and to late 80s --- with American Western and Hong Kong Kung Fu movies being my favorite genres --- I could count all the major leading roles Asians played, up until the last 3 to 5 years, on the fingers of one hand. The current actor Japanese American George Takei --- Mr. Sulu from Star Trek --- and the late Japanese American actor, Mako (1933 - 2006), said the same thing.
All those so called proud Asian women will only date old white men.
Finally she gets recognition for her work!❤
Thank you for compiling these reactions! Have me crying all over again!
Congratulations to Michelle Yeoh🥹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💋🥰
Michelle Yeoh was very good when she portrayed Aung San Suu Kyi in ‘The Lady’.
She just exudes grace and class and dignity.
Amazing video compilation ❤
You're beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ Michelle
I’ve seem a lot of M.Y. films…I absolutely loved her in Crouching Tiger….now that’s a performance
And no actor from Crouching Tiger got an Oscar nomination....☹️
Anna May Wong is smiling down!
So So Proud of Michelle!
I used to have the film Tomorrow Never Dies, her hollywood debut film.
It is an amazing accomplishment.
Yaaaaaaas Queen ! Michelle, congrats, bless, love and respect. Such a class act, integrity, beautiful soul and force of character !! Thank you and we revel with you :)
I'm crying😢watching this. What a wonderful moment in Oscar history.
Congratulations to you Michelle 💐🎉
You now join Halle Berry as being the 2nd WOC & very first Asian actress to win Best Actress. You deserve it
Cynthia Rothrock, Michelle's co-star in the 1985 film, "Yes, Madam", seems to be silent. I saw that movie decades ago because of Rothrock but it converted me into a Michelle Yeoh fan! I was so amazed to see these ladies literally kicking as* and taking names!
Rina Sawayama had a great reaction to her winning as well
As a Malaysian, u can read her body movement n what n how she talks... This lady is not fake.. She won this gracefully..
. What people don't make the distinction is your not getting an award for your career but the role your nominated for, As actors of color have often said there aren't roles for us to play. Now to some degree it's changing and roles are opening up for actors of color. Michelle Yeoh was given that role and she killed it in that role. I'm so happy for her. I just hope that this isn't the last person of color for years to come. As witness in the best supporting category for actresses it proves there's more work to be done.
Agree with everything you've said but the absolute best part is that the movie she won for was essentially an homage to her entire career while also pushing her in ways we've never seen before. And she excelled and shines! Such a beautiful and powerful performance! Always loved her
I am in loooove with just how Ana de Armas was just clearly rooting for Michelle to win! She was just happily agreeing with the win! 🧡
Does anyone know if Constance Wu reacted to Michelle Yeoh’s historical Oscar win? Did she send her congratulations?
Off Topic: Ana de Armas really does look like Marilyn Monroe even without sporting the iconic blonde hair and full red lipstick. Wow.
Add that to the history books. Breaking barriers
She deserves all the recognition an acknowledgement. Shes undeniably legendary and such a wonderful person. Truly one of Asia's pride. And all of the cast were wonderful and amazing too they all deserve the awards that they got. And the movie im telling you guys its phenomenal ! One of , if not the , greatest movies of the century 😍 Im so glad their hardwork paidoff they deserve every award and achievement 🥰
I loved Michelle Yeoh, blessed 🙏❤️
So happy for her! Amazing talented woman.. I can't wait to see more of her in movies ❤❤❤
You're an OG for this one, Graeme.
I love your EEAAO content so much
Good well deserved I'm happy to be Mien Asian from Thailand 🍀☯️
I cried and everything ✨ She’s such an amazing actress and that movie was so special
She can dance; she can fight; she can act. Everything. Now, she has an Oscar too. Well deserved for decades of acting. And she won a beauty contest. Some people just have it all; not fair... hahaha...
Realmente las actuaciones de esta película son espectaculares.❤
So amazing! I have loved her since the beginning of her career! She is the Queen!
I would have a delayed reaction too if I was Michelle Williams. "They said Michelle...oh its Yeoh not me" That emotion must have been a quick boost and then drop.
I watch Michelle Yeoh movies since late 80s ! She is legend
we now have 2 former bond girls won the oscar for best actress
One Bond leading lady presenting to another Bond leading lady is kind of cool too.
The Oscars this year is so wholesome and healthy. This is how it should be!
I'm crying watching this. How incredible is She!?
I KUNG FUed IT OUT!!!!!!! AND SHATTERED IT!!!! 👏🏻🤛🏻👏🏻❤❤❤❤❤❤
What's most important is to bring more varied movie projects with mixed racial casts or different ethnic and cultural movies with entertaining stories to Hollywood.
The people who greenlight projects are still older Caucasian men.
Let's hope they look past the skin color and at the endless great stories to tell.
I thought after Halle Berry won there's no more 'women of color' will be the issue 😂 Already 2023 and still.. Anyway they both had a chance to became a Bond Girl and also competing at Miss World.
Wow, just wow!
i like how simu liu is just constantly swearing
among the nominees Andrea's reaction was the best.
fun fact : some of michelle's films and tv shows with lgbtqx plots and themes were banned in her home country 🇲🇾
Just Beautiful❤❤❤
Halle Berry can sooo relate to that feeling of Michelle Yeoh ... They both know the feeling of being the first ...❤❤❤
Andrea and Anna's reactions were so wholesome :))
It was simply beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️.
ALL HALE QUEEN MICHELLE!!!!
♥ her!
Can't wait to see Michelle in Crazy Rich Asian sequel.....if they will make it.
Great embrace of the ex-Bond babes! Also 2 ex-Bond babes nominated for best leading actress Oscars(Ana De Armas for "Blonde")!
She's phenomenal just to look at. Everything about her is just captivating. What a woman
A very well deserved oscar , and it was about time !!! i m so happy for Michelle !
"We freaking broke that glass ceiling. I kung fu'd it out, and shattered it!"
😂 I freaking love Michelle Yeoh
When you get that amount of respect from the people you have work with it means you are great. And Michelle Yeoh is great.
Thank you Graeme for being such an ally to the AAPI community ❤️
I wanted Angela Bassett to win but Michelle is a good actress and I applaud her win. Lovely.
They were in different categories.
Different categories bro.
Il était temps , et c'est mérité 👏👏madame , je suis fan , FROM FRANCE 🇫🇷🌹💋
