I mean Everything Everywhere all at once. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour and watch it! 8)

Indeed. Great movie. Should probably win an award or something.
I've heard of a different movie made by the same guy, Swiss Army Man. That movie was not so good.

So the movie didn't win an award but the actress did. Well deserved, and well done Michelle! Long overdue considering her talent and class in her decades long career

Nobody is going to play off Michelle Yeoh. The actor, who won her first Golden Globe on Tuesday, jokingly told the awards show’s producers to “shut up” after trying to cut her acceptance speech short.
“I can beat you up,” said Yeoh as the orchestra started to perform midway through her remarks. “And that’s serious.”
Yeoh was honored in the best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy category, for playing many iterations of laundromat owner Evelyn Wang in A24’s zany multiverse adventure “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The recognition wasn’t lost on Yeoh, whose decades-long career in Hollywood began with 1997’s James Bond film “Tomorrow Never Dies” and Ang Lee’s 2000 Oscar-winning martial arts drama “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
“I’m just going to stand here and take this all in,” she said, clutching the gold statue. “40 years… I’m not letting go of this.”
"I'm just gonna stand here and take this all in. 40 years. Not letting go of this."

She continued, “When I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true — until I got here. I came here and was told, ‘You’re a minority.'”
Already a celebrated actor in Hong Kong, Yeoh’s Hollywood career flourished as she worked with acclaimed directors including Steven Spielberg, Rob Marshall and James Cameron. But the 60-year-old found that opportunities for meaningful roles began to shrink as she got older.
“I thought, ‘Hey, come on, girl. You had a really, really good run,'” she said.
And then — in a true Hollywood ending — came “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a movie she calls “a gift.”
“Thank you A24 for believing in these two goofy, insanely smart, wonderful geniuses, [directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert], who had the courage to write about a very ordinary immigrant, aging woman, mother, daughter,” she said.
She continued, “I was given this gift of playing this woman who resonated so deeply with me and with so many people because, at the end of the day, in whatever universe she was at, she was fighting for love, for her family.”
Before leaving the stage, she shouted out her “Everything Everywhere All at Once” co-stars Stephanie Hsu, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan.
“This is also for all the shoulders that I stand on, all who came before me, who look like me, and all who are going on this journey with me forward,” Yeoh said.

Well the movie totally cleaned out at the Oscars with best Actress and best supporting actor and actress as well as best editing and best picture to name a few
But Michelle Yeoh taking out the best actress was totally deserved. After decades in the industry they finally recognise her talent

Well done Michelle!

I missed the first half. Her acceptance speech was mercifully short.
Also, Brendan Frasier is a complete mess.

I missed the first half.
Yeah, I did too. And the second half.
