After a career spanning decades on the big screen, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Michelle Yeoh has at last been receiving the Hollywood recognition she has long-deserved. Alongside the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Yeoh was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress for her lead performance in the multiverse-exploring action/comedy/drama, Everything Everywhere All at Once.
“This is actually a historical moment, and I have to thank the Academy for acknowledging, embracing diversity and true representation,” Yeoh said during her acceptance speech. “I think this is something that we have been working so hard towards for a very long time, and tonight we freaking broke that glass ceiling. I Kung Fu’d it out and shattered it, and we need this because there are so many who felt unseen, unheard.”
Michelle Yeoh has several projects currently in the pipeline, including a role in director James Cameron’s Avatar 3 and Avatar 4.
