I think it’s ridiculous and inappropriate that they asked her about the Barbie movie for many reasons 🙄
Michelle did understand the disappointment of missing but it's obvious she also knows and believes that the people who got nominated were also deserving.
She answered beautifully.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is where I first saw Michelle Yeoh. She was fantastic then and now.
Not Tomorrow Never Dies?!
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 nope. Not big on “James Bond”
Check her out in "Wing Chun" - 1994.
@@user-ju1os7kz3q You should be. Anyone who misses the James Bond movies, missed half of their life.
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 😂😂😂😂😂
Why ask her about Barbie.. Does it matter with her? I think it's better just talk about Michelle.
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!!
I know. Greta also has been nominated twice. And I love Greta! But I also think she has more in her than just Barbie (which was definitely good), but I’m not angry at the current director nominations tbh.
Absolutely agree - the very feminists calling out Barbie snubs - are showing their bias to American and white female achievements solely - by failing to acknowledge non American female directing talent, and also ignoring America's nomination because she wasn't Barbie. Pathetic
Greta got nominated for barbie for best adaptive screen play that has a good chance of winning. And Robbie is a producer. meaning if Barbie wins best picture on a upset. Barbie Her self is still going home with that oscar. @@r2d2rxr
8 too many in my book
Other than pure entertainment pleasing the general public, how could Barbie won? Not even the best costume or cinematography
I would watch anything with Michele Yeoh in it ! I admire this wonderful woman she looks so beautiful and she is very elegant!
why are they asking her about other movie she didn't form part of?
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!
I love her! Congratulations Beautiful Queen Michelle! You are beyond deserving of this award and sooooo much more! ♥️👑
her skin is so flawless. she is so beautiful
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.
Is it wrong to ask somebody a question?
I used to watch the Today show for 5 years. Two years ago, when Jena Bush said it casually that Tom Cruise is short during the Top Gun Maverick press tour... I was like??? What else will she talk about others behind the camera?
@@guru6831did you even read my comment? 💀
The Brothers Sun is the best series I've seen in a while. Woah! It is SO good! We finished in one sitting.
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.
Obviously? Margot Robbie carried that movie to the end with her performance you troll
Es una Reina😊 You Go Michelle Yeoh ❤❤❤
Not much actors would promote others to work hard n chase their dreams. Thx Michelle Yeoh for all the joy😊
Love her so much!
Great film. Loved it
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!
Ya I think Hoda misspoke or just misinformed. But why couldn’t they have two female directors nominated. Only one token slot it seems. Celine Song would be my choice over Greta
@@camgrant1318 I don't know, maybe the other 4 male directors made superb directorial jobs with their respective films too? Who knows? That's also possible. Too bad they're not female. But yeah, males can make good films as much as females too. Directing films is not a gendered job, soo ....
@@camgrant1318 I've seen the 10 Best Picture, so, personally, I can say, I really, really amazed by 3 of the Best Director films (The Zone of Interest, Poor Things, and Anatomy of a Fall), and I understand very well the other two (Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer).
@@riojohan5769 Probably can ask a female director and see how many opportunities the studios give them to direct these oscar movies. Only 9 women have ever been nominated for directing in 480 best director slots in history.. but ya not gendered at all.
@@riojohan5769 Ya not saying just because she's a woman she should get in but the argument that male directors just direct better movies is made every year in history. Like Todd Phillips got in for Joker.. men can just get in way easier.
I dont understand, Justin Triet is also a female director. Why cant people accept that someone else just did a better job.
exactly. Its getting very childish for people to complain about some one dimensional generic film about a bloody doll. Justine Treit deserves her nomination for Anatomy of a fall it won the Palm D'or at Cannes which is the French Oscar for Best Picture.
Such a pro!
The Brothers Sun is dope….dope …dope ❤❤❤❤
Michelle is a class act in every way. I’ve always been a fan.
she's so beautiful!
The Brothers Son is a fantastic show!
All those years ago, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. To The Brother's Son now!
She was born in Malaysia and moved to Hong Kong professionally. She can speak Cantonese.
actually, shes originally from malaysia.
@@ElamakDangga She didn't leave and immigrated to Hong Kong. She went there professionally just like I stated.
Aren’t her parents Chinese?!?
@@LovedByYou Believe so. We are called immigrants Chinese or oversea Chinese.
Most Malaysian are tri- lingual, I read that she attended college in UK, so her family is rich
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 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?
I actually want to know which category in Barbie are outstanding? Other than box office sales? In that case, Top Gun Maverick should have won that year
Gerwig became this director phenomenon for people. She is not a Jane Campion or a Sofia Coppola, but for some reason people adore her like she's the best ever. I guess because she's more mainstream then a Piano or a Lost in Translation. So now people are so upset because she wasn't nominated as director. They are mini Swifties lol.
Curtis is such a good dan cer
Im just in for Peace
💕💕💕She is the best actress ever 😍
They both nominated! For screenplay and producing. Stop this nonsense, please
Lina was looking for the kid
Love that tea scene! Love Michelle Yeoh!!
The reporter was So ridiculous to ask Michelle about other movies
What snub? The fact it got any noms at all is a miracle
Michelle probably thinking thank god I won my Oscar already when answering those Barbie question.😊
What a graceful and diplomatic answer. Ofcourse barbie is not oscar worthy in any of the category.
She said about Barbie🙌🙌Women supporting Women!!
I just love her ❤
based response to the barbie director snub.
I'm same hotel
That was yesterday
i thought the mario movie got snub
Very entertaining show and the male lead, Justin chien is a hottie.
michelle slayed
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
So which of the other Best director nominees you think dont deserve their nomination?
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.
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.
😍
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.
Be honest you fight laughing I wonder why so happyness
Takai
Nice sweder😊
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.
Lets ask all women why greta didnt get nominated for best directoy 😮💨
Barbie was lucky to be nominated at ll it wasnt that great
String
whaddaya mean “the only female”???
Haha nice
hhhh barbie was the real one
She MUST be the youngest woman in her 6ties
have a seat at the table soooooo trite
Nice pajama
Wow! She does not look 61 years old.
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
If she is a member of the Academy then she gets a say in who is nominated.
Justine Triet erasure?
Latin girl
She has strong jowls for her age.
Michelle is our very own Malaysian pride. First Chinese Bond girl and first Malaysian Oscar winner, all hail Queen Michelle❤!!
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.
You must be one of those overly sensitive men they spoke of in the movie
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.
Cope harder! Michelle Yeoh deserved that Oscar!
Go say why you think she got it. Go say it. Come on. Go ahead. She'll forever be an Oscar winner while you will always be a racist.
@@RVandergeld No, she didn't. Michelle was second best to Cate Blanchett.
Coming from an asian person myself, I dont think she deserved the win. I saw the film, and her performance was ok for her role. It wasn’t anything that stood out when comparing it to her other work
@@Beareddwow, I'm a asain myself too, and she did such a wonderful job, I'm so proud of her ❤
