Rich Asian: Last News

Director Jon M. Chu is opening up about the controversy around his 2018 smash hit movie Crazy Rich Asians.While the movie fared well at the box office and was critically acclaimed, it did face criticism for casting South Asian actors in more stereotypical roles.Chu, 41, was promoting his new film In the Heights in an interview with Insider, when he revealed that he wished he would have handled that differently.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the most nominated film at the Oscars, won the most SAG Awards ever with four. Final voting begins on Thursday, March 2, and it’s no longer a question about whether the A24 sci-fi comedy will win best picture but how many statuettes it will take home. Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win a lead actress film award. Seeing her emotion take hold of her was heartwarming and long overdue for an actress that should have already been nominated for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (2000) and “Crazy Rich Asians” (2018). However, her speech may not have been as boisterous or memorable as we would like, especially for someone competing with Cate Blanchett, after winning BAFTA, Critics Choice and Globes for “Tár.” However, her co-star James Hong may have brought it home for Yeoh with his rousing speech during the acceptance for the cast ensemble.
