Michelle Yeoh took home the award for best female actor in a leading role for Everything Everywhere All at Once at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday night, making her the first woman of Asian descent to win the individual acting honor.
“I think if I speak, my heart will explode,” she said as she took the stage after being introduced by Jeff Bridges. “SAG-AFTRA, to get this from you, who understands what it is to get here. Every one of you knows the journey, the roller-coaster ride, the ups and downs. But most importantly, we never give up. I thank you.”
This win for the Crazy Rich Asians actress, who also received her first Oscar nomination for her performance in the film, follows her 2023 Golden Globe win for best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy.
Other nominees in the category include Cate Blanchett for ‘Tár’, Viola Davis for ‘The Woman King’, Ana de Armas for ‘Blonde’ and Danielle Deadwyler for ‘Till’.
