This demonstrates the reality of dreams. And ladies, do not ever allow someone tell you that your best years are behind you. Do not give up. Yeoh made her mother and all other mothers the recipients of her prize.

She proclaimed, “They are the true superheroes, and without them, none of us would be present this evening. “Thank you to the Academy – this is history in the making,” the actress remarked as she turned to leave the stage.

She remarked, “Without the Daniels, without the incredible cast and crew, and without everyone associated with ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once,’ I would not be standing here tonight. Also, my large family in Hong Kong, where I began my profession. I appreciate you allowing me to stand on your shoulders.

The absurd sci-fi adventure Everything Everywhere All at Once, which was directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, was first shown about a year ago at SXSW, where it quickly gained both critical and commercial acclaim.
