She’s the second Asian actor to be nominated in the best actress category. Mumbai-born actor Merle Oberon was the first Asian to be nominated but back then, she passed as white and hid her Asian heritage.
Yeoh is the first Asian woman to win a leading film acting award at the 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG-AFTRA) and the best actress award at the National Board of Review Awards.
She has previously won the 2023 Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy.
Her co-star in EEAAO, Ke Huy Quan, also won the Oscars for best-supporting actor in his comeback role 30 years in the making.
My journey started on a boat. I spent a year in a refugee camp. Somehow I ended up on Hollywood’s biggest stage! They say stories like that only happen in the movies; I can’t believe it’s happening to me. This is the American dream! Thank you so much for welcoming me back. I love you. Thank you!

Jamie Lee Curtis, who also starred in EEAAO, also won the Oscars for best supporting actress. It’s her first Oscar nomination in a four-decade acting career. During her acceptance speech, she thanked her late parents Oscar nominees Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.
According to news reports, A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once has officially become the world’s most-awarded film of all time.
EEAAO leads the 95th Academy Awards with 11 nominations, including Best Director and Best Picture.
The film has been awarded 158 recognitions from major ceremonies and organizations, surpassing The Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King which received 101 awards.
