PETALING JAYA: Malaysians are on pins and needles as they await with bated breath for the results of Ipoh-born actress Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh’s 95th Academy Awards nomination for Best Actress on Monday (March 13).
Yeoh became the first Malaysian to ever receive an Oscar nomination on Jan 24 shortly after making history as the first Malaysian Golden Globe award winner on Jan 11 for her lead role in the 2022 runaway success film, “Everything Everywhere All At Once”.
“It was really cool to watch her speak her lines the Malaysian way during ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ with the occasional signature Malaysian ‘hai-yah’s’ here and there, just like how we locals speak. “She has really set the bar high for not just us Malaysians, but Asians as a whole; I’ll definitely be rooting for her all the way,” he said, adding that due to work, he would unfortunately be unable to watch the results live but that he would keep up to date through news articles.
“She deserves the win after all the training and hardships she’s had to endure to get to this point,” he said, adding that he loves to rewatch Yeoh’s Kung Fu action scenes in all her movies and that he would be tuning in to watch the event on an online platform.
