LOS ANGELES (Reuters): Michelle Yeoh, a Malaysian actress who plays a Chinese American laundrette owner coping with family strife in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” won the Academy Award for best lead actress on Sunday. She is the first Asian woman to win in this category.
Yeoh, 60, was seen as the favourite for the prize after winning both a Screen Actors Guild and a Golden Globe for the part. That was her first nomination for an Oscar.
In “Everything Everywhere,” Evelyn Wang, played by Yeoh, gets caught in many realities while trying to do her taxes. The science fiction movie is competing for the best picture Oscar after receiving positive reviews from critics and audiences.
Yeoh made her Hollywood debut in 1997’s “Tomorrow Never Dies,” with Pierce Brosnan, as the first ethnic Chinese Bond girl. Yeoh began her career in Hong Kong action films in the 1990s.
Since then, she has found success in a variety of genres, enhancing her standing as a high-profile action actress and forceful performer.
Her most well-known works are “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,” a 2000 martial arts film directed by Ang Lee, “Memoirs of a Geisha,” a 2005 period drama, and “Crazy Rich Asians,” a 2018 romantic comedy.
