The first Asian nominee for the best actress Oscar was Merle Oberon, long before “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” but she obscured her ethnicity to thrive.
that Yeoh was the “first person who identifies as Asian to ever be nominated” for the award, it set off criticism that such language was too politically correct.
"Everything Everywhere All At Once" collected 11 nominations for the 95th Academy Awards. The ceremony will air on ABC on March 12. Her big break as an actress came after she caught the eye of Hungarian filmmaker Alexander Korda, who cast her as Anne Boleyn in the 1933 film “The Private Life of Henry VIII.” She was nominated for the 1936 Oscar for best actress for her role as Kitty Vane in “The Dark Angel,”But she was perhaps best known for her starring role as Cathy in the 1939 film “Wuthering Heights,” produced by Samuel Goldwyn.
