I can't believe these award shows have been snubbing her... Stephanie Hsu was so amazing in EEAAO. She really drove the movie alongside Michelle. She deserves her flowers!!

[@hanginthere1101]

And finally Oscar noticed her. So so so happy for her nomination.

[@SK-ql3yf]

It's called good old fashion racism

[@ghostwalker914]

Right? She made Juju Chewbacca be at Ledger's Joker's level she killed it!!!

[@Rollinjoint]

She was so good at femme. But i don’t think she has been snubbed. “Snubbed” goes to Michelle who has been snubbed for decades

[@Leweise]

EEAAO sounds dumb

[@namesurname2341]

As a second generation asian girl the movie did all what they mentioned but even more. It felt like a love letter to those stuck in between cultures that don't necessarily understand the reason behind parents decisions and because of that end up drifting from them in their teenage years, only to ridiscover and find that the truth lays on the deep and untouchable value of family. Most immigrant parents don't have the mind or luxury to nurish sweet talk and patience. So the child born in a western culture where gentle parenting is a thing feel unloved, misunderstood and unseen

[@bluebellegreen2804]

Thank you for sharing this and adding a layer to my understanding of my friends. Thank you.

[@BooBuKittyPhuk]

Weird Michelle Yo

[@SybilGem]

Can definitely relate 🙌

[@onikin]

I suppose Joy Luck Club for the new second-generation.

[@futrpdr]

It's crazy that you say that because I was just watching an interview (The Pivot with Charlamagne tha God) and that subject came up. I noticed that this is also something that child of immigrants from different ethnicities/nationalities mention as well (being raised with such a high bar without gentle parenting). I'm not trying to minimize the Asian experience, but simply trying to say how relatable and universal that subject is to our generation. Parenting isn't easy. Adulting is difficult as well, but when you throw in the pressures our parents faced in a society that didn't (and still doesn't) welcome or champion them, it helps provide context as to why they thought and acted the way they did.

[@IvanMejia1991]

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a mastercraft, and Stephanie Hsu’s performance is brilliant in every way. She deserves all the recognition.

I just watched this movie for the first time and I cried like a baby

[@BorderlineBinge]

Absolute ugly crying here. Give these people their awards

[@Hailstormand]

I watched it twice and cried both times. I even watched some watch-along youtubers and cried yet again. This movie, and Stephanie Hsu, is amazing.

[@Muhdah1972]

It takes viewers to an unexpected place. I had no idea what was happening at times though it made me laugh, had me in awe but the relationship between mom & daughter took me by surprise. Very emotional

[@KarlwithaC]

If you don't cry watching it then you're a psychopath, I swear

[@bebesomething]

@@KarlwithaC my mom didn't cry but I think it's because she had no clue what was going on so she checked out right away lol

[@novelasjorgesantacruz]

IT'S RETURNED AT AMC FOR 5 BUCKS THE TICKET

[@eightysevenf]

She’s one if the most articulate individuals i’ve ever seen!

[@KaiserSaucy]

She’s so great. Go look up her audition tape for Everything Everywhere if you’ve not seen it - as incendiary as she is in the movie, when you see her do it without the sets & the costumes & all the paraphernalia (that makes the film so unique & amazing), you can really see just how much she brought to that performance. Truly mesmerising. Love her. 🥯

[@briobrandon911]

I need them to recognize her talent and put her in more films because man she is such a breakout star!

[@ngaatee]

This movie meant so much to me- and it was not even about my culture. But as someone who grew up in different cultures there was a certain familiarity in how it explores familial and romantic relationships, and community. It struck a chord with me, and every time I rewatch it I cry like its the first time because it finds balance between that familiarity and the surreal. I hope that for years to come people tell Stephanie Hsu about how incredible her performance is, raw, real and emotionally tense with heart and laughter along the way.

[@askapk]

I know it's still early... but I've never seen a comment section with so little hate. Lol. This movie was great and her performance is not to be understated. She feels like the emotional linchpin.

[@hatelovebowel4571]

even people who don't like this movie love Stephanie Hsu. She's just such a good vibe

[@Geeksmithing]

How dare you!

[@Goonztz]

[@stanleycoleman]

she did an amazing job playing multiple personalities in EEAO. definitely deserves all the accolades coming her way.

[@nikitasimona5626]

[@philpheburbs]

Sooooooo pleased she's getting the praise she so richly deserves for that performance. Absolutely insane.

[@kazza6078]

I hope she gets a million roles but also comes back to broadway at some point too, she's so great.

[@jeffchow6722]

She is the mother that I never had, the sister that I've wanted, and the friend that everyone needs

[@mm-qd1ho]

I wish I was half as well-spoken as she is. If only all talk show guests were as enthusiastic and articulate.

[@mercygrrl]

I'm so glad they picked that clip from the movie to introduce Stephanie. And now I can't imagine this movie w/o Stephanie or any of the other cast members. Michelle Yeoh revealed in her CBS Sunday Morning interview that her part was originally written for a man & Jackie Chan passed on it.

[@askapk]

Jackie Chan is probably looking at the reviews and reception and is kicking his own a$$ for not doing it.

[@lilszard]

I love Jackie Chan, but I think he knew this was not the role for him. Him passing on it was a blessing to the film..and I'm sure he's happy for the success of his friends.

[@krishna_2019]

Everyone who worked on that movie deserve all the accolades they are receiving. That movie was a wild ride.

[@furahafire]

I was one of those people in the audience balling my eyes out because of that movie. It was the best, weirdest, most briliant ride I'd been on in years. I wish that I had seen it more than once on the big screen.

[@creatinotionchannel2680]

Wow the fact it was completed just as the lockdown happened is amazing because especially the Ke Huy Quan speech seemed perfectly aimed at the pandemic and how scary and uncertain things became. I would have thought it was written for the pandemic times.

[@natalievandenberg3845]

There was SARS and other smaller pandemics that happened

[@nonid5627]

She is so lovely! I have been so happy for her, Ke, Michelle, and Jamie Lee for all of the acting recognition they are receiving for this beautiful film.

[@kahrah81]

This woman should absolutely be in Oscar conservations and one of the strongest contenders in the supporting actress category. Both Ke and Michelle were amazing, but Stephanie’s performance in EEAAO was so mesmerising. She was hands down my fave.

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

One of the most amazing films I've ever seen in over 60 yrs. of loving movies.

[@freakingexcited]

I am so happy to see how far she has come from first hearing about her in the cast of Be More Chill to being in huge Hollywood movies and tv!

[@TheMarizanebogdan]

She was superb in Everything..... , she deserves all the buzz she's getting and even more.

[@andohlea]

I haven’t seen this film…but I get chills any time I see any trailer or clips. A bit nervous to see it to be honest and know I’ll be a crying mess. It just seems to strike a nerve that I can’t explain…yet. I am mentally trying to prepare myself for getting to see it…such a privilege to get to interact with art like this!

[@Hailstormand]

You're in for a ride. And don't worry, if you're like me, you're bound to cry and laugh the next time you watch EEAAO. This is a movie that somehow rewards repeated viewing

[@samisfun868]

@@andohlea i would say watch it with a group of friends. its really a movie made to be viewed collectively with people to validate the emotions you are feeling. if not, just trust your feelings. dont be afraid to go to places emotionally where the movie takes you and dont doubt them. as long as you have an open mind, you'll love it. this movie is a therapy session for me.

[@lepooploser]

Don't worry, it is not a sad movie cry, but a "the dog is died" cry, or a Schindler's List cry. It is a hopeful cry, I would never think of it as a negative cry. It is a "I'm too emotional" but in a good way" kind of cry. Just let it

[@scottmead854]

Glad that Hsu is at least getting some nods. While Yeoh was expected to blossom like a rose - and she did - Hsu was like that cactus flower, you didn't know who she was coming to see the film, only to be blown away by her performance at the end.
