A first for the seasoned actress, Michelle Yeoh took up the Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in a musical or comedy film for her work in “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” on Tuesday night.
Her victory speech focused on her career in Hollywood, but she did interrupt herself briefly to threaten violence to the Golden Globes powers that be for trying to play her off (joking, “Shut up, please; I can beat you up”).
“When I first arrived in Hollywood, it was like waking up in a dream, but now that I’m here…” An individual remarked, “You speak English?” The flight here was almost 13 hours long, so I learned,” I responded.
She acknowledged the part she played in receiving the honor.
“As the years passed, and I hit 60 just last year and I think all of you women understand this, as the days, years, and numbers become bigger, the possibilities go smaller as well. Then the greatest present ever appeared: “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once,” she remarked.
Since its April 2017 release, the film, a smaller A24 production, has been a critical and commercial success, making 2017 a banner year for Yeoh.
In “Everything, Everywhere,” Yeoh plays an Asian American immigrant who is struggling to balance her personal and professional lives while being thrust into the midst of the multiverse.
“They had the confidence to write about a very regular immigrant,” Yeoh said of the film’s writers and directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
“This movie for me was such an homage to so many women like that around us who are sometimes invisible, who we take for granted,” she said. “There are so many relatable things, and all because they were chasing the American dream.”
“We all know that it’s so hard,” she added on Tuesday night. “I think any immigrant that comes here will tell you how difficult it is and of sometimes failing and not being able to find it.” If you want you can also read details about Why did not Kevin attend the Golden Globe?
