“This is history in the making.” “Everything Everywhere All at Once’s” Michelle Yeoh concluded her acceptance speech at the Oscars on Sunday by recognizing the milestone audiences around the world had just witnessed: Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win Best Actress, and the second woman of color to win the honor. (Halle Berry broke ground as the first in 2002 for “Monster’s Ball.”)
During her time at the podium, Yeoh gave a shout-out to younger viewers. “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities. This is proof that, dream big, and dreams do come true,”
