  1. First Oscar winning Asian woman was the Japanese actress Miyoshi Umeki.
    Michelle Yeoh deserves it, great woman, great actress, although that movie she got it for is rather boring to me.

  2. Thanks to Hollywood… we love you ❤️

  3. SOOO COOOL..THE MOST GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL AMAZING PRINCESS MICHELLE YEOH… GREATEST HONOR THAT YOU GOT THE OSCARS TROPHY AT THE MOST PRISTIGE,MAGICAL MAGNIFICENT THRILLER EXCITING 95 OSCARS NIGHT..WILL REMEMBER THIS MOMENTS FOREVER AND EVER..SWEETEST DARLING PRINCESS MICHELLE YEOH..

  4. 🤣🤣 she is not the first. Hollywood is stupid enough not to know history. Remember Miyoshi Umeki? Won best supporting actress in 1958. Woke Hollywood. Learn your history, fool. However, congratulations Michelle 👏

  5. Misrepresented Asian, with all that rainbow 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 all over that movie. Take that out of movie and she never win 🤣🤣🤣. That's real reason why she win. 🌈 Hollywood

  6. Since this is a moment of Chinese Malaysian winning Oscar’s best actress as the first Asian ever, maybe the Malaysian government needs to start treating Chinese Malaysians nicer, the inequality that the Chinese Malaysians are suffering (compared to the Malays) in their own country is hideous, none of the ethnicities should be treated by the government with a privilege

  7. Congratulations you deserve it. Looking forward to seeing you make more movies❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥳🥳🥳

  8. Powerful words from an admirable woman ❤
