Michelle Yeoh made a powerful statement at the 2021 Golden Globe Awards when she accepted her award for Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy, speaking out about racism in Hollywood and the limited opportunities for aging female actors. Unfortunately, she will no longer be able to attend the 95th Academy Awards due to Glenn Close testing positive for COVID-19. Yeoh dedicated her award to all the people who came before her and to those who will come after her, inspiring many Asian women to stand up for themselves.
