Michelle Yeoh believes the "best thing" about her awards success is that she is no longer only receiving scripts for "Asian-looking" characters.
Speaking during the Kering Women in Motion talks at the Cannes Film Festival, she said: "The best thing that has happened is I received a script that doesn't describe the character as a Chinese or Asian-looking person. Michelle reflected on her first time at Cannes over 20 years ago with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and said she felt it was "quite obvious" Hollywood wasn't ready to celebrate Asian actors back then."But if you look at all the films that get nominated here in Cannes and get awards, very rarely, especially at the Oscars… they would nominate best director, best film, everything. You wonder, how do you get there without the actors? So, it seems a little odd.
