I’m a huge fan of hers and am glad she’s getting the shine she deserves. Everything Everywhere All At Once was such a great showcase of her talent and everyone else in that movie was great too.

Good. She’s definitely due, and I’m so jazzed she got a chance to stretch into comedy this last year in a leading role.

Been a fan of her since her HK 90s days, it's kinda weird to see her blow up like this in the west so late in her career, but also very happy for her ofc.

I haven't even seen that movie yet, but until then Police Story 3 and Crouching Tiger are her best films for me. Her duel with Zhang Ziyi is the greatest female vs female fight scene of all time. I don't think anything even comes close, it's phenomenal.

I feel like she will win Best Actress (which she deserves), but I'm still hoping Mia wins it.

I’m still shook from finding out she’s dating Formula 1’s Jean Todt.

My girlfriend used to date her step-son, for like a year

Never had the occasion to share that information with anyone, and it’s kinda weird to know that I only have 2 or 3 degrees of separation with her (and Jean Todt, her partner, who is also a legend in is own field)

Her grace and presence in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is her GOAT performance for me, but Everything Everywhere was incredible. We all knew she had many different acting chops, but that was a wild ride and she carried us all.

Over 20 years later and this is still undeniably the best women's fight scene of all time, if not the best fight scene period.

Michelle Yeoh deserves all the recognition she can get.

Oh MAN, Cynthia Rothrock & Don "The Dragon" Wilson were the absolute SHIT back in the early 90s. If you were a kid and had Showtime, you were all about watching their movies when you weren't trying to catch some Red Shoe Diaries boobs or something.

The fight in the monastery where she goes through a ton of different weapons? Might be my favorite movie fight of all time. Incredible choreography. The sense of speed is incredible. Like a DBZ fight in real-time.

She’s amazing! Ever since I saw her in yes madam! I’ve followed non stop. I wish she hadn’t taken that long break for her marriage. That dude didn’t deserve her.

Everyone in this thread should go catch up with The Complete Works podcast. This season they are going through Michelle Yeoh’s career, movie by movie. Just hitting 1994 now.

This, plus her partnership with Richard Mille, plus her own reputation and stardom in her own right, is part of the reason she's such a natural in Crazy Rich Asians (and you can see it in the interviews around that movie). Many of the other actors may be "simulating" living in that ultra bougie culture, but Michelle Yeoh's legit been fully immersed in it in real life for a while too!

Also, helps that she acted her ass off in that movie. Her character was by far my favorite part of the movie (and I already really like the movie).

For me it was actually Crazy Rich Asians. Somehow I don't think I had seen anything of hers until it, but it was actually the movie that made me fall in love with her work.

Super solid romcom on its own (one of my favorites in the last decade, actually), but the writing and acting delivery of her character absolutely floored me. I was like, "who is this actress, why does she have such a commanding presence, and why have I never seen her before?"

(It also helps that I have been exposed to a similar community culture as the one depicted in the movie, with all the similar highs and lows, and her character is legit an archetype of real people I've met several times in my life. Where, and just as the movie depicts, you can't stand the antagonism and know it's wrong, but you can see exactly how it came about and almost can't blame them for being that way.)
