Regardless of the results at Sunday’s ceremony, the 2023 Oscars made history for Asian representation, largely on the strength of “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
With four actors of Asian descent nominated, this year’s 95th Academy Awards have the most Asian representation ever, and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” — starring Michelle Yeoh as a Chinese immigrant — is a favorite for best picture.
The nominations mark long-overdue progress for Hollywood’s recognition of Asian-led films, says Zhen Zhang, the director of NYU’s Asian Film & Media Initiative.
