Michelle Yeoh made history at the 95th Oscars as Everything Everywhere All At Once took home a clutch of major awards. The multiverse sci-fi epic, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (a.k.a, The Daniels), claimed seven prizes including three acting gongs, Best Directing and the highly coveted Best Picture.
Bagging the Oscar for Best Leading Actress, Yeoh became the first woman from an Asian background to win the award.

Taking to the stage, she said: “For all the little boys and girls who look like me, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities. Dream big, dreams do come true. Ladies, never let anyone tell you you are past your prime.”
She added: “This is history in the making.”
Brendan Fraser also won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as a reclusive English teacher with morbid obesity in The Whale, completing a dramatic career comeback after years out of the spotlight. The Mummy actor, 54, was visibly emotional as he thanked director Darren Aronofsky for “throwing me a creative life-line”.
All Quiet On The Western Front enjoyed a successful night as well, continuing its runaway success at the Baftas last month, by securing four awards including Best Cinematography and Original Score.
