With a Golden Globe under her belt and a likely Oscar nomination on the way, Michelle Yeoh is everywhere all at once. It’s about time Hollywood recognised what Asian fans have known for years, says Tracy Lee.
SINGAPORE: “Forty years, not letting go of this”, said Michelle Yeoh on Jan 10, holding on to her best actress Golden Globe award for her leading role in the movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once.
This image released by A24 shows Stephanie Hsu, Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan in a scene from Everything Everywhere All At Once. This photo released by Sony Pictures Classics shows Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh in a scene from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Everything Everywhere All At Once sees Yeoh playing Evelyn Wang, a middle-aged Chinese-American immigrant, dutiful daughter, supportive wife and understanding mum, who must connect with parallel universe versions of herself - Beijing opera singer, kungfu master, knife-wielding chef, red carpet glamour puss, to name a few - to save the multiverse from destruction.
Might Michelle Yeoh just be the right person at the right time, to be the poster girl for diversity, battling ageism, racism and sexism in one fell swoop ? And as Yeoh told Time magazine: “You can see there are less roles when you start ageing. You get relegated to very familiar kind of older women roles.
Streaming services seem to have done this better. Besides bringing Korean dramas - like Netflix’s most-watched series Squid Game - to a more global audience, Netflix has put out original content with Asian leads, like Ali Wong and Randall Park in Always Be My Maybe, Maitreyi Ramakhrishnan in Never Have I Ever and of course, Michelle Yeoh in The Witcher spinoff.
