Best Actress Winner Michelle Yeoh Makes History At The 2023 Oscars & I’m Not Crying, You Are

It’s been a big day for celebrities, the celebrity obsessed and entertainment reporters alike but finally the 2023 Oscars are done and dusted.

This year’s stand out title was Daniel Quan and Daniel Sheinert’s absurdist comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All At Once. The film won seven out of its 11 nominations at the 95th Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Lead actress and absolute queen Michelle Yeoh had already made history for being the first self-identified Asian nominee for Best Actress. But now, she’s gone and one-upped herself by taking the prestigious award home for her role as Evelyn Quan Wang.

“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” she exclaimed in her powerful acceptance speech.

“This is proof that dreams come true. And ladies…never let anybody tell you that you are past your prime.”

Plus, Guillermo del Toro made history by being the first person to win Best Picture, Best Director and Best Animated Feature.

As for Austin Butler, well, looks like ya boi spent two years faking that accent for nothin’… let’s hope he drops it now so we can all move on with our lives in peace.
