While actors and actresses are routinely voicing their support for racial and gender quotas in Hollywood,Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh told E!s Giuliana Rancic that she does not want to see movies and actors nominated for awards just because of their race or gender.
I think this year there were a few women roles that were really outstanding. And we really need more and more of them, Yeoh said. I was just disappointed that there were no women directors nominated. But its hard. Because it is so competitive. I think a lot of the time, lets not nominate because we need to make up the numbers for the gender or the diversity, we have to do it because the movie and all the characters speak for what it..

Oh oh, will Dems break out old offensive stereotypes of the "model minority"?
I'll yet you decide. But the answer is "yes".
Somebody’s not getting invited to any after Oscar parties.
She’ll never work in Hollywood again.
“Star Michelle Yeoh: Lets Not Nominate Movies for Awards Based on Gender or Diversity(TR)”
Let’s not even use those terms again.
The only hope for this country is us Asians who came up the hard way. The whites have just given up...sad to say.
u meen 12 years a slave?
absolutely, positively Not Guilty!
She is clearly waciss.
Whites are afraid of their own shadows - no pun intended.
Loved her in Memoirs of a Geisha
She is also good in ST Discovery
They’ll have to destroy her now for “wrong thinking.”
(How did she ever get cast for STD with that attitude ?)
good cut the length of the show in half.
How about lets not reboot classic science fiction TV shows based on gender or diversity?
she doesn’t need hollywood. china makes a lot of movies and she is a star and a good actress. Her performance as the mother made Crazy Rich Asians a great movie.,
I’m liking ST Discovery
