Michelle Yeoh's win tonight is so important, it can't be understated. She's the second woman of color to EVER win the award in its 94 year history, (the first being Halle Berry 21 years ago,) and she did it at age 60. She's the first asian actress to secure a win in a category that has awarded white actresses in yellowface with their eyes taped up, and she did so in a film that was a monument to the talent of its asian actors. Yes, the Academy is always leagues behind the rest of culture, but this is a big deal and should be celebrated as such. I really hope that this time, it becomes a movement instead of a moment.
