According to the magazine, the veteran actress is a hot favorite to win this year’s Academy Award for her performance, and stated,<\/p>\n

This is the moment Yeoh has long been waiting for: a big, starring role, the kind that could make her a household name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michelle Yeoh has been part of the entertainment industry for more than 40 years. The former Miss Malaysia is widely considered to be one of the greatest Asian actresses in the world. She made her Hollywood debut as a Bond girl in the film Tomorrow Never Dies<\/em><\/strong> and is well-known as a martial arts expert since she made headlines for the iconic 2000’s film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

TIME Magazine added that despite Michelle Yeoh’s incredible body of work, starring in hit films such as Supercop<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0Crazy Rich Asians<\/em><\/strong>, and Memoirs of a Geisha<\/em><\/strong> but had never been “No. 1 on a Hollywood call sheet” until Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with TIME Magazine, she talked about her experience as an Asian actress breaking into Hollywood and often being given stereotypical roles and rarely getting to be the film’s lead.<\/p>\n

She said,<\/p>\n

It shouldn\u2019t be about my race, but it has been a battle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michelle Yeoh also commented on the possibility of her winning an Oscar for ‘Best Actress’ and becoming the first Asian woman to do so.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve thought about it. And not just me\u2014I feel like my full Asian community has thought about it. They come up to me and they say, \u2018You\u2019re doing it for us.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
