The first Asian nominee for the best actress Oscar was Merle Oberon, long before “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” but she obscured her ethnicity to thrive.

that Yeoh was the “first person who identifies as Asian to ever be nominated” for the award, it set off criticism that such language was too politically correct.

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" collected 11 nominations for the 95th Academy Awards. The ceremony will air on ABC on March 12. Her big break as an actress came after she caught the eye of Hungarian filmmaker Alexander Korda, who cast her as Anne Boleyn in the 1933 film “The Private Life of Henry VIII.” She was nominated for the 1936 Oscar for best actress for her role as Kitty Vane in “The Dark Angel,”But she was perhaps best known for her starring role as Cathy in the 1939 film “Wuthering Heights,” produced by Samuel Goldwyn.

Wait this is the same newspaper that decided to post an article titled 'are there too many Asians' lmao

The marxist left bases EVERYTHING on identity and ethnicity, much of it is self serving. A legitimate case could be made they are the consumate racists and supremacists.

Fascinating

Who's the greatest Latin baseball player ever? Ted Williams, who was half-Mexican but kept that a secret when he played 1939-1960 and beyond.

Please don't use this to promote your Democrat race narrative. Let the movie and actors win on their merits. That's the Asian way. (not the white elite woke way)

And this part is exactly what is wrong in the society: '...but she obscured her ethnicity to thrive.' To thrive?! That was more of a sad existence in life, under such terms.

I enjoyed this movie it was thought provoking.

Michelle Yeoh, whose performance in the sci-fi drama “Everything Everywhere All at Once” has already garnered widespread acclaim, appeared to make history Tuesday as the first Asian woman to be nominated for an Oscar in the best actress category.

Well, I guess it just goes to show that sometimes you have to hide who you really are to get ahead in Hollywood!

Best Asian Actress ever is George Takei GeorgeTakei He likes little Boys. So he fit the category.

Hollywood Reporter celebrates Oscar nominee Michelle Yeoh as first person in category to 'identify as Asian'The Hollywood Reporter described actress Michelle Yeoh as the first woman who “identifies as Asian” to be nominated for Best Actress after the nominations were announced. Umm. I didn't know we had to actually identify as what we actually are now. If I fail to identify as what I am does that mean I don't exist? Nothing is easy anymore. ….?….Does she identify as Asian, or is she Asian? So it only matters what we identify as, not what we actually are anymore? I’m a white dude, and I could identify as being another ethnicity, but that would be a lie…because I’m white. That’s simply a biological fact.
