From getting fired for a rap video, to starring in Crazy Rich Asians, to winning a Golden Globe for an AMAZING film. She's really come a long way. Inspirational to see more Asian artists/performers thriving in the industry.✨
@Joe Mincey Technically we shouldn't be. But you see there is a whole load of amazing actors of Asian ethnicity but they were either turned away or ignored. Why? Huh? Huh? Fucker
@@vmvm949 Amen to that! People forget since Hollywood inception, many people of many ethnicity's were background in films, and to see diversity in major films and lead roles although long overdue, is much needed, especially where whites have controlled that sphere for 100's of years.
Probably the best performance I saw all year, easily. The nuance and the ability to relate that emotion of something so heartbreaking broke me when watching it. She deserves the Oscar honestly
She might actually have a chance of an Oscar nomination (after tonight's win). The first, last, and only time an Asian person won an acting Oscar was in 1984 when Dr. Haing S. Ngor won Best Supporting Actor for The Killing Fields.
She was absolutely amazing. And the way she carries herself and projects her voice and chooses her words really makes you feel like you can get along with her so easily. I wish her so much success and abundance! I send you my love!
I first watched her during stand ups, then Crazy Rich Asians, and now this... amazing performance in "The Farewell". Also super proud of "comedians" getting more serious/dramatic roles.
What a graceful and eloquent woman. I think many people have had a less accurate picture of her and her talent. Hopefully this win will just open up more doors for her and other Asian actresses in Hollywood and elsewhere.
I love how everyone has a different favourite 2019 film. Every video I watch from the Golden Globes I see in the comments so many opinions. Just shows how amazing of a year 2019 was
when comedians are in serious roles it makes me feel excited Melisa McCarthy / “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” Adam Sandler / “Uncut Gems” Awkwafina / “The Farewell” (and maybe other that idk)
totally agree with Awkwafina with her hertiage as i feel the same about her views about being in a different country and both sides saying you should go back so sad there r people still like that in the World , good question from the interviewer ! Awkwafina is a really good actress 2 !
Gina Rodriguez also made me realize I wasn't alone when Gina R. spoke bout how Mexican-American kids feel they arent accepted in either U.S & Mex. Idk Asians also felt that way too. Glad to see Awkwafina win cuz its a win for representation for the asian community & she really deserved it too🤟.
orando15 ABCs are actually treated very nicely in China. The only issue is some of them feel so special themselves, look down upon the Chinese mainlanders and refuse to learn or speak Chinese on any occasion even though Chinese is the main language in their households. Can you imagine any American born Hispanic who has immigrant parents can not speak ANY Spanish?
It's not sad. The first black person who won an oscar? Television was still black and white. This would imply that an asian simply hadnt deserved it yet. Unless youre saying its sad that there has yet to be an asian that was talented enough to win.
bellmeisterful Please stick to the subject. This has nothing to do with blacks. It’s about her winning as an Asian in a leading acting category. This hasn’t happened before.
OMG i am crying now😭😭Originally i thought its a name of rapper in rap group of some sort but actually is an chinese actress who just break after crazy rich asian😄😆
Congratulations Awkwafina from my beloved current hometown of Mekor Hayim Baka Jerusalem Israel. Thank you so much for inspiring my life saving Mobileye Intel career success story in Jerusalem where I daily save lives from car accidents and my Oscar Academy Award winning journey. I proudly have High Functioning Autism.
"Breaking the ceiling for asian Americans "........You do realize asian Americans are the most successful Americans statistically speaking right??? Even more so than white Americans.
@@Brandon-ww9rk If you look at hours worked on average by demographic; asians work a lot of extra hours for that money. More % hours than % dollars they get. It's all hustle. And they're still passed up for promotions and hired less often in many many many studies The ceiling is there but Asians are cracking at it with pure effort.
@@daniellee9763 what's your point.... Asians aren't in media because they choose not to be, they CHOOSE to work in other well paying fields. There's not a cabal of white men out there keeping the asian man down.
@@kingmanic the ceiling was put in place by liberals though. What do you think affirmative action has done to Asians? Asians have to score higher than any other race to get into colleges. Asians are turned down by universities because their scores aren't high enough for their assigned race..even though they scored higher than every other student of a different race. Who do you think runs Hollywood? Liberal laws make it harder for asians to succeed.
Thats funny you said that. I came down here to ask about that topic. Whether she got the award based on the performance or so they could "make history". I haven't seen her performance. Thanks.
@@bellmeisterful If they want to award someone to make 'history' they could have awarded Constance Wu last year. Awkwafina's performance is the best in this category and is the most likely among the 5 to be nominated for Oscars.
So let me guess, she played an Asian? What’s with all this my community and reenforcing her ethnicity? She is a good actress and she won. She is an American and we are all one large community of Americans!!!!
Its good to feel and think that way, but that doesnt change reality. Reality being that people do see color, race, nationality, etc. And there is nothing wrong with that. The goal isnt to pretend like differences dont exist. Being different is what adds some sort of variety and excitement to life. The goal id say is to just not be hateful to one another. Not pretend like races and color dont exist.
The Farewell was good, but I can't believe how much people liked 'crazy rich Asians' .... it was a run of the mill rom-com and wasn't even funny. People just pretended it was good because of all Asian cast.

@Joe Mincey because you will never know hows like to grow up not seeing anyone that look you anywhere, shut up

Joe Mincey do u know what racist even means i-
I hope her and Zhao Shuzen are nominated at the Oscars. Beautiful film. Lulu Wang deserves a Screenplay nomination too.
This movie deeply moved me. And so did her performance.
When I watched The Farewell, she turned me into a fan.
eagle PHD ok
@eagle PHD maybe its not that bad that you didn't decide this. What are you afraid of?
rod axel she’s amazing
Probably the best performance I saw all year, easily. The nuance and the ability to relate that emotion of something so heartbreaking broke me when watching it. She deserves the Oscar honestly
fingers crossed
Loved her in Crazy rich Asians, her performance was so hilarious. She deserves this award so much.
She is not just a great actress - but relatable. Go geddit gurl.

Yeah I remember him and he wasn't even a professional actor then....Too bad he got murdered by a stupid asian gangs with a strange circumstance...
Not the only
She truly deserved it, she's talented and naturally funny.
I've been loving Awkwafina since her rap days back in 2012! Proud of ya girl!!
I had tears dripping when she won and mentioned her dead mom during her speech....
She was absolutely amazing. And the way she carries herself and projects her voice and chooses her words really makes you feel like you can get along with her so easily. I wish her so much success and abundance! I send you my love!

Awkwafina 2010: Girl Code
Awkwafina 2020: Golden Globes

I love seeing Awkwafina do well. I'm tearing up a bit.
I love how everyone has a different favourite 2019 film. Every video I watch from the Golden Globes I see in the comments so many opinions. Just shows how amazing of a year 2019 was
Love these speeches everyone is giving tonight
Wow the FIRST ASIAN WOMAN, that's a huge thing. Especially for so long there Hollywood stereotype "Asian can't act"

THATS MY GIRL! CONGRATS TO HER!

Yeah I love her, she seems like a really cool girl.
Represent! Strong and asian!
Awkwafina beautiful!!
when comedians are in serious roles it makes me feel excited
Melisa McCarthy / “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”
Adam Sandler / “Uncut Gems”
Awkwafina / “The Farewell”
(and maybe other that idk)
She Definitely deserves everything !
She has EXACTLY Natasha Lyonne’s voice
Kinda sounds like Miley Cyrus too
They are in a tv show together!
I was thinking her voice sounds so familiar
congrats! the farewell is so moving! well done!
You belonged where you heart is, not who they think you should be, have fun, congratulation...!
The Farewell was amazing! Good Job Awkwafina!
totally agree with Awkwafina with her hertiage as i feel the same about her views about being in a different country and both sides saying you should go back so sad there r people still like that in the World ,
good question from the interviewer !
Awkwafina is a really good actress 2 !
I AM CRYING TEARS OF JOY
Same girl same... and i'm indian ❤
I love it when she speaks to my right ear.
Oscar awaits you ! So proud of you
An individual won an award.
Super well deserved
congrats, I remember her from tigerbelly
From Slept King- Bobby's troops are everywhere in TH-cam.😆
@gookjesus nosotros papaya to you also my friend
Gina Rodriguez also made me realize I wasn't alone when Gina R. spoke bout how Mexican-American kids feel they arent accepted in either U.S & Mex. Idk Asians also felt that way too.

It's not sad.

Even sadder we are talking about gender or race.
@@bigdawg111 Well, in everyones defense, thats the premise of the whole thing, it being historic because she's a female Asian. You understand Bruv?
Congratulations to both Bong Joon- Ho and Awkwafina!! 아이고 세상에 좋겠다😌
So proud!!!!!
When I saw the title I thought she’d won for Crazy Rich Asians and was like “WTF?!”
That's sad. Not enough people have even heard of The Farewell. Watch it, it's very powerful and one of the best films of 2019
Go watch the farewell NOW. its an amazing film
The last seconds cracked me! Congrats Awkwafina!
Congrats!!!
I hope she gets more roles
I AM SO FUCKING PROUD OF HER
OMG i am crying now😭😭Originally i thought its a name of rapper in rap group of some sort but actually is an chinese actress who just break after crazy rich asian😄😆

Yes!!! Asian represent!
Great actress!
Should've got an Oscar nomination.
she won because her performance was the best of the 5 nominees , i think its disrespectful to reduce her to an ethnicity

Thank you
@@bellmeisterful yep
this movie hit home so hard
I love this chick!
I'm so happy for her, I'm a huge fan!
"I told you I'll get a job"
She just made a history and opened the door for every Asian actor and actress out there. I am so proud of her.
She worked with Beanie Feldstein? That's right! She was in Neighbours 2
Oscar voters should stop being racist for once and nominate both Awkwafina and Shuzhen.
Shes so funny and relatable
She's a badass!
Novella Mexicana. El Dragon. Second season is in production. Latino Asian actress would be great. Downey California
So happy for Akwafina she totally deserves it!!!
Her voice sounds a lot like Natasha Lyonne
Good for her.
I want to see the film
Beautiful and cute
NY represent
I'm half asian. So, represent!
Why so focus on the first Asian one winning that should See how incredible of her character.
Im thinking water!!!
DIVERSITY IN ACTION
Congratulations ^^
i liked her in bojack horseman "Get dat fetus, kill dat fetus Brrap brrap, pew pew"
Oscar Nom!!
wow so proud but i dont even know her
So let me guess, she played an Asian? What’s with all this my community and reenforcing her ethnicity? She is a good actress and she won. She is an American and we are all one large community of Americans!!!!

nosotros papaya to you little Asian lady possibly named Tring
What award did she win? Like... GG award videos that don’t tell us what awards the videos are about?
Best lead actress in a comedy or musical I believe!
👏🤩YES!!
She is an inspiration! Truly! Check out our pg for more inspiring stories of Women and their struggling journey!
Latina Asian. Beautiful. Downey California
Somewhere in the world, Constance Wu's face turned green.
Don't put women, especially women of a minority, against each other.
She sounds like Miley Cyrus
The Farewell was good, but I can't believe how much people liked 'crazy rich Asians' .... it was a run of the mill rom-com and wasn't even funny. People just pretended it was good because of all Asian cast.
It's a huge step forward in Asian representation in cinema. Whether it was good or not is not the point.
@@lildigipoke making a garbage, generic movie is a step forward just because you throw a bunch of Asians in it? no...
Why you gotta break them in slowly my dearest Dorothy. America is like Kansas, you can't expect everyone to follow the yellow brick road immediately.
Rapper to Acting total change of career.
Asian AMERICAN. Thank u. There IS a difference with asian. Google it.
Big fucking deal....she's a human, why is it so important to separate humans? Plus, never heard of the movie.
I only know her cause Bojack Horseman lol
Who is she?
"go back to where you belong????" isn't that what racists say???
It's kind of odd not gonna lie.
I LOVE IT BUT WTF IS THAT OUTFIT
Vibin in the 1800s
all her outfits at premiers are that awesome
First time seeing hollywood's females not showing skins?
@@GREGGFOWL nope, it looks outdated and what in the fuck seriously
Daniel Lee go find photos of her entire outfit ... it’s a jacket pant suit with white floral collar. It’s very unique and classy.
Golden globes are starting to Look way low budget. Looks like a makeshift stage in some warehouse on the industrial side of the city.
So where did her blaccent go?
Get a life lmao
