Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Michelle Yeoh cemented Oscars history on Sunday night as she became the first Asian person to win for lead actress.

Yeoh took home the first Academy Award of her celebrated career, for best actress in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The honor came after a long career in martial arts and action movies like “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” and “Yes, Madam.” Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the zany sci-fi adventure centers on Yeoh’s Evelyn Wang, a middle-aged laundromat owner who, while being audited by the IRS, discovers she has to connect with versions of herself from parallel universes to prevent cataclysmic destruction. “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said from the stage. “This is proof that dreams do come true.

And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you that you are ever past your prime. Never give up.” Yeoh dedicated the award to her mom and all the mothers in the world. “They are real the superheroes, and without them, none of us will be here tonight,” she said.

At the Oscars, Yeoh is only the third Asian woman — following Yuh-Jung Youn for “Minari” and Miyoshi Umeki for “Sayonara” — and the first in the lead category to win an acting prize.
