Cate is perhaps the front runner to win Best Lead Actress for Tar with her incredible performance playing Lydia Tar. However, Lydia Tar's character is confined to a certain degree. On the other hand, Michelle Yeoh's acting in EEAAO which is considered the best movie of 2022 and most probably the past two decades was phenomenal. Michelle's performance in playing different characters from the multiverse fueled with different emotions, laughter, sadness, compassion and not to mention the martial arts that go with it was just unmatched. You see Michelle do comedy, drama, action, thriller and even playing an inanimate object like a rock all at once is a tour de force and Oscar worthy performance! For these reasons in my opinion Michelle Yeoh should get the Oscar!

​@@havenhtagree. I watched every movie of Michelle Yeoh when i was young and 2022's movie EEAAO was proob of she is brilliant actress 👏 ❤️

[@CharlieCharlie88]

Does anyone else feel like Cate plays similar characters over and over again?

[@putinscat1208]

Yeah, if she talked for 2 hours and pretended to play a piano, and then knocked some dude over, why is that so great? Just the fact EEAAO was filmed in 38 days deserves an award.

It's time to give MICHELLE YEOH the oscar

[@user-CatherineDodd]

I have been mesmerized by the tour de force spellbinding and unique performance of MICHELLE YEOH in “Everything Everywhere All at Once”. I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the Academy members will recognise and reward her finally with the coveted best actress trophy. Yeoh has just received the "Dilys Powell Awards for excellence in film", the highest honour at the London Critics Circle Film Awards. She actually has more regional and international critics awards recognition than Cate Blanchett. Michelle Yeoh's turbulent brilliance in the movie EEAAO literally inhabited these multiple characters so thoroughly and visually showcased her unique ability to combine take-no-prisoners action, wry humour and deeper emotional resonance, spectacularly. I hope she wins on Oscar night. She deserves it! She has been waiting for more than 40 years for this recognition.

[@da96103]

For me, the main reason Michelle should win the Oscar over Cate is that Cate's performance is nothing new. As Miranda Priestley said, "Floral for spring? Groundbreaking." Cate has done this kind of role before: Blue Jasmine, Notes from a Scandal. We need to acknowledge Michelle's groundbreaking work here (not just because she is the first Asian nominee for Best Actress). The role required a multitude of skills in order to do it justice. It would be so easy to unbalance the role of Evelyn and no one would believe the character anymore and think that it is similar to one tiktokker playing various roles in a short film/(for the older ones like Eddie Murphy playing many roles in The Nutty Professor). But in Michelle's hands, we do believe that this middle age laundromat owner did really enter into the bodies of various Evelyns and gathering skills from various universes.

[@clonnlijinhlong2713]

It's not new???? Cate has done MANY genre... that's why it's hard to get newer roles. She went from Galadriel, Hela, Queen Elizabeth, etc she is one of the most versatile actress EVER. She had performed many language and even their native speakers claimed she did great despite many actors/actresses not performing it well. Not to mention, even if THIS is the only genre she did, still did one hell of a job....and the award is for acting, not Performing what you never performed before. Not to mention Michele Yeoh was groundbreaking only for her, the only genre she used to do was the martial artist trope, and then she got Crazy Rich Asians, and her performance was nothing remarkable, just a normal good acting. And Yes, her performance on EEAAO was great and deserve any awards she can get including the Oscars too.... Nobody would be surprised if she got it. What I'm trying to say is, All the nominees deserve it, but the fact that you're trying to discredit Cate just because she had done the genre before.....and ALSO the fact that you praise Michele for being "groundbreaking" alone is what I hate. That's exactly what Michele didn't want, she didn't want you to consider her new work groundbreaking....she can ALWAYS do that, she just didn't have any chance to prove herself..... It's as if y'all only think she's good as a kung-fu girl

[@maggiechan33]

@@clonnlijinhlong2713 You obviously don't know about Michelle's body of work, so don't dismiss it. Michelle DID NOT only do the "martial art trope"; before CRA, Michelle worked on all these dramas: -The Stunt Woman -The Soong Sisters -Memoir of a Geisha -Sunshine -Far North -The Lady, where she portrayed Aung San Suu Kyi + had to give a 2 minute speech in Burmese' which is completely different from her native Malay. You should know English + German are similar; both are Germanic languages.

[@marinachung8100]

MICHELLE Yeoh should win because she is the whole package.

[@Koharuno]

I am really rooting for her, especially with her being the first female Asian to be nominated for the last 94 Oscars! Her performance in EEAO was perfect

[@laurarodriguez965]

Totalmente de acuerdo. Ella se lo merece todo. I love this woman.

[@jeff__w]

Your view is _exactly_ the way I feel. I also think that the kinds of factors you mentioned actually count for _a lot_ with the members of the Academy who, after all, live in the real world. They very often look outside of the “four corners” of the film and award Oscars based on the entirety of an actor’s career, how “deserving” the actor is, and, yes, whether their competition has previously been gotten the award. (It doesn’t hurt that Yeoh seems to be universally admired, even loved, for her professionalism, hard work, and graciousness.) I think there’s an excellent chance that she’ll walk away with an Oscar this year.

[@maggiechan33]

Agree. I would even go further + write presently Michelle is universally/multiversally ADORED, esp by little girls + boys around the world, and the big ones too !

[@KRG30001]

If they give Cate her third and refuse to give Michelle her first I will lose it

[@johnlim4847]

Michelle Yeoh deserves to win the Oscars! 😘

[@MartialArtsFilmFreak]

Her kung fu in EEAAO is not a nod to her role in Crouching Tiger. It’s her utilizing a skill she developed in the 80s and built her career on. She is a queen of Kung Fu cinema. And a wonderful actress.

[@maggiechan33]

Not just CTHD, but also Yes Madam, Magnificent Warrior, Supercop, Butterfly + Sword, Heroic Trio, Executioners, Tai Chi Master, Wing Chun + many more.

[@MartialArtsFilmFreak]

Did you watch any of her 80s and 90s films? Her physicality is an example of how she dives into a role. She comes from a dance background, but her work in those martial arts films shows how deep and hard she will work for a film.

[@ozoz3444]

If there is any justice in the world, she'll win the Oscar.

[@katherinewolfe]

Mission accomplished, Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar. In fact, EEAAO won lots of Oscars, including Best Picture. It should have won, and all the actors won, and they should have, too. It was a wonderful night!

@The Friday Ketchup Michelle has DEFINITELY earned her Oscar with EEAAO. Also, Evelyn in EEAAO is the diametrical opposite of Eleanor in CRA - just 1 example of Michelle's exquisite range.

[@gastronautadf]

EEAAO truly had the potential of being a trainwreck. While the entire cast is remarkable, the movie rests mostly on Michelle Yeo's shoulders. It holds together because of a performance filled with vision, skill, and versatility. She's nominated for one role, but she plays 189364831 characters. Sorry Cate.

So Beautiful And Talented

[@nitsugazemag]

Actually, Cate has 2 Oscars, supporting for her turn in the Aviator, and lead for her work in Blue Jasmine. Michelle Yeoh left acting in the 90s to be a wife, but chose to return when she knew she wouldn’t be able to give him children; left him and return to work. I’m not sure about the possessive husband thing, but she’s spoken about that in some interviews along the way. I’m wanting her to win because this would be historic and deeply impactful in a category that has been white for 94 out of the 95 years it’s been around. It’s sad that best actor has had a few or so that weren’t white who’ve won. Why is it so difficult to shine a light on great performances by non-white actresses. The Academy also has an issue with diversity too. Michelle Yeoh is the only woman of color in the category. The supporting categories have more diversity that the leads with Brian Tyree Henry and Ke Huy Quan in supporting actor and Angela Bassett and Stephanie Hsu in supporting actress. Not to mention how yet again there aren’t any women up for best director. They really need to dilute the older white members and even things out with more diverse members in the academy.

[@thefridayketchup]

Whoops! Good catch. Thanks for the information about Michelle Yeoh, that's really interesting.

[@nitsugazemag]

@@thefridayketchup It happens. Cate is great, but she has many more opportunities to get her third Oscar; Michelle might only have this shot, if history repeats itself (ex. Halle Berry being the only minority to crack the best actress win about 20 years ago).

@Agustin Gamez I question if Michelle left Dickson Poon/her marriage "because she wouldn't be able to give him children" - which is a very sexist way to phrase it. (She may have said, "because we could not have kids".) I need to see your source.

[@88hajime]

[@da96103]

It's not a possessive husband thing, and Michelle wasn't forced to quit acting. In the 80s, it is the culture where once you get married, you are expected to be a wife and a mother, which Michelle would have been happy to be. From her interviews, I gathered that the reason is rather "A rich Asian man" thing which translates to the need for an heir for the business empire eventually which Michelle could not provide. But I love this video, nonetheless.

[@youngtun5980]

Icon of the year 2022 by TIME(why not select others?) Michelle Yeoh you deserves to Win this time if fair judgement...if not, we understood cause you are from Asia with YELLOW skin.....(your acting in EEAAO is soo Good)

[@astrilux]

Just to clarify… I don’t know about the controlling ex husband, but I am pretty sure Michelle has said so many times that she quite her acting career because she so wanted to be a wife and a mother, and she knew very well from the beginning of her relationship with Dickson Poon, that his family was a Family that needed descendants so when she finds out she couldn't have children she decided to end the marriage. But I remember she has said that she is still friend with his mother and I think Michelle is godmother of Dee Poon (Dickson Poon oldest daughter). And… of course she deserves her Oscar this year!

[@siyuwoaini]
