Michelle Yeoh talks ‘The Brothers Sun,’ ‘Barbie’ Oscars snub 

I think it’s ridiculous and inappropriate that they asked her about the Barbie movie for many reasons 🙄

Why ask her about Barbie.. Does it matter with her? I think it's better just talk about Michelle.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is where I first saw Michelle Yeoh. She was fantastic then and now.

Wow that was amazing for the Academy Award winning actress Michelle Yeoh!

"Memoir of a Geisha" was the film that made me a lifelong Michelle Yeoh fan.

Why are they discrediting Justine Triet? She’s literally a woman who was nominated for Best Director this year! And she did so in a movie which didn’t have A-listers or make a billion dollars - now that’s an achievement for women which you should be championing instead of whining about Barbie, a movie which still got 8 nominations!!

why are they asking her about other movie she didn't form part of?

I would watch anything with Michele Yeoh in it ! I admire this wonderful woman she looks so beautiful and she is very elegant!

her skin is so flawless. she is so beautiful

Not to mention she got her Oscar from Halle Berry, who was the first African American women to ever win an Oscar in a lead role, drama!

The Brothers Sun brilliant series 👍

Do you know how crazy it is to ask the first ever Asian woman to win the best actress Oscar what she thinks about two white women being “snubbed”? And what about Greta Lee? Celine Song? What about celebrating Lily Gladstone and Justine Triet for their achievements? This whole thing is getting very weird.

I love her! Congratulations Beautiful Queen Michelle! You are beyond deserving of this award and sooooo much more! ♥️👑

Not much actors would promote others to work hard n chase their dreams. Thx Michelle Yeoh for all the joy😊

Michelle Yeoh is a wonderful human being and a great actress. I agree with her that there is only very few slots and the Academy picked the ones that actually deserve to be there and Margot and Greta were obviously not the best in their categories.

JUSTIN TRIET IS A FEMALE AND SHE'S NOMINATED IN BEST DIRECTOR. SO STOP WITH THIS OBSESSION WITH GRETA GERWIG, A FEMALE DIRECTOR NOT NOMINATED! MAYBE THE OTHER FIVE DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOMINATED ARE ALSO REALLY GOOD!

The Brothers Sun is the best series I've seen in a while. Woah! It is SO good! We finished in one sitting.

I dont understand, Justin Triet is also a female director. Why cant people accept that someone else just did a better job.

Great film. Loved it

Es una Reina😊 You Go Michelle Yeoh ❤❤❤

Love her so much!

Such a pro!

she's so beautiful!

The Brothers Sun is dope….dope …dope ❤❤❤❤

“The only female”? Genuinely, what does this mean? Did she misspeak? Do Triet (who made it in), Song, Fremon Craig, DuVernay, Coppola not exist now? Why are Greta & Margot being hailed as the totem for Academy injustice against women?

Michelle is a class act in every way. I’ve always been a fan.

Most actors had to changed their physical appearance long with best acting to win awards. Barbie is mainstream entertainment for all demographics. When I think of Oscar best actress award, i only have one in mind, La vie en Rose, Marion Cotilert acted her heart out, she looked like Edith Piaf, she sung, she changed her hairline, her eyebrows were almost gone. That's an Oscar winner. I wish i was watching it live, but I was traveling in Italy and saw it on the news.

The Brothers Son is a fantastic show!

She was born in Malaysia and moved to Hong Kong professionally. She can speak Cantonese.

All those years ago, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. To The Brother's Son now!

💕💕💕She is the best actress ever 😍

The reporter was So ridiculous to ask Michelle about other movies

Curtis is such a good dan cer

They both nominated! For screenplay and producing. Stop this nonsense, please

Im just in for Peace

Michelle probably thinking thank god I won my Oscar already when answering those Barbie question.😊

What snub? The fact it got any noms at all is a miracle

😍

Lina was looking for the kid

Love that tea scene! Love Michelle Yeoh!!

based response to the barbie director snub.

What a graceful and diplomatic answer. Ofcourse barbie is not oscar worthy in any of the category.

michelle slayed

She said about Barbie🙌🙌Women supporting Women!!

That was yesterday

I just love her ❤

I'm same hotel

What should have been brought up was that an Asian woman director Celine Song was not nominated for her film Past Lives which was far superior than Barbie.

i thought the mario movie got snub

Greta should have been nominated for director but as we saw last year with avatar and top gun, those movies don’t appeal to the snobby directors who vote in the academy. Also the actors branch vote for themselves so blame yourselves about snubbing Margot… those other 5 actresses were great

Very entertaining show and the male lead, Justin chien is a hottie.

Takai

There was no snub. The director's branch is a VERY discerning group of people who know their field in an intense way. They simply didn't think the work was next level. She probably was in sixth place. Get over it.

Nice sweder😊

but the academy voters are folks within the industry. If greta didnt get best director nom, thats the academy's voting system. So technically her own industry peers just not into her.

Not only was the Barbie movie itself nominated for 8 other awards, 2 of which, if won, would go to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig themselves (best screenplay and best film), but America Ferrera was also nominated for best supporting actress for the same film. These two facts greatly undercut the ludicrous idea there is some sort of sexist plot against the movie. Also, complaining because Margo Robbie was not nominated for best actress... when five other WOMEN were nominated for best actress... in a category that exists and is meant to celebrate females, again is laughable and undercuts the idea this has to do with apparent 'misogyny'. Lastly, Gerwig wasn't nominated for best director but a woman named Justine Treat who directed Anatomy of a Fall was. So the claim here is that Gerwig and Robbie were denied nominations due to a sexist conspiracy even though they both were nominated in other categories...And other women...who are not Gerwig and Robbie...were nominated in the exact categories you think they were denied. Hahah Now obviously trying to connect this to sexism and patriarchy is another delusional and desperate attempt by very bored and very shallow people to feel persecuted because they don't know how to find any meaning in life except through a false personal narrative of victimization.

String

Justine Triet erasure?

Be honest you fight laughing I wonder why so happyness

Haha nice

hhhh barbie was the real one

Nice pajama

whaddaya mean “the only female”???

Barbie was lucky to be nominated at ll it wasnt that great

Michelle is our very own Malaysian pride. First Chinese Bond girl and first Malaysian Oscar winner, all hail Queen Michelle❤!!

Latin girl

Thats so disrespectful, she got nothing to do with who gets nominated or who doesnt, why bring her on the show just to ask her on what she thinks about it instead of talking about her

She has strong jowls for her age.

Lets ask all women why greta didnt get nominated for best directoy 😮‍💨

have a seat at the table soooooo trite

Wow! She does not look 61 years old.

She MUST be the youngest woman in her 6ties

Hoda is such a sycophant. Oscars are nice in the moment, but Oscar speeches are not life-changing. I happy for Michelle Yeoh and Asian representation being on the table, but terrible interview by Hoda.

why she thinks she is good in this role?

Ok but it’s easier to take her seriously if she wasn’t wearing pajamas

A film about hating men that got 8 oscar nominations only because of that fact.

Barbie is nothing great as a director . It's for gays and girls. It made good money, but doesn't mean it was great cinematically

She's the last person to talk about snubs. She didn't deserve the best actress award last year. She only got it because... well, everyone knows why.
