More Malaysian pride this month!
Michelle Yeoh has won the Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy film for her performance in Everything, Everywhere, At Once, a hit sci-fi film about surreal parallel universes and complicated relationships.
She beat out Lesley Manville (Mrs Harris Goes to Paris), Margot Robbie (Babylon), Anya Taylor-Joy (The Menu), and Emma Thompson (Good Luck, Leo Grande).
“Whew! “OK, I’m just going to stand here and take it all in,” she joked on stage. “I’ve been holding on to this for 40 years. So, just a quick thank you to Hollywood Foreign Press for this honour. It’s been an incredible journey and fight to get here today, but I believe it was worthwhile.”
“As time went by – I turned 60 last year – and I think all of you women understand this as the days years numbers get bigger, the opportunities get smaller as well,” she said. “Then along came the best gift: Everything, Everywhere All at Once.”
Everything, Everywhere All at Once is a film about a Chinese immigrant who becomes unwittingly entangled in an epic adventure in which she must connect different versions of herself in parallel universes in order to stop someone who intends to harm the multiverse.
On top of that, it also made many people cry in the cinema.
