62-year-old Yang Yang-kyung, who also won the controversy over violating SNS rules

Chinese actress Yang Yeo-kyung became the first Asian actress to win the Best Actress Award at the 95th Academy Awards.

The 95th Academy Awards were held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, USA on the 13th (Korean time). The proceedings were hosted by host Jimmy Kimmel.

On this day, the team of the movie ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ enjoyed a beautiful night. Starting with Best Supporting Actor, it achieved seven awards, including Best Supporting Actress, Best Editing, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actress.

Yang Zi-gyeong cheered. Because he was the first Asian actor to receive an award from the American Academy. It was more special than Yoon Yeo-jeong receiving the Best Supporting Actress Award for the movie ‘Minari’. Yang Yeo-kyung beat Cate Blanchett, Ana de Armas, Andrea Riseborough, and Michelle Williams to win the trophy.

Yang Yeo-gyeong began by saying, “I hope this becomes a spark of hope and possibility for the children who are watching like me tonight.” He received applause when he said, "I hope you can dream big and show that it can come true. Women, I hope you never believe the saying that your golden years have passed."

Yang Yeo-kyung also shared her glorious moment with the production team, staff, and fellow actors who worked with her on 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'. “I dedicate this to all the mothers around the world, because they are heroes. This is making history,” he said.

Yang Yeo-kyung also said, "The reason I'm here is because of Daniels. Thanks to the great actors, crew, and everyone who participated in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once.'" She added, "My mother is 84 years old, and I will dedicate this to her." “I will take the trophy home. I started my career in Hong Kong, and thanks to you all, I was able to stand here today,” he said, expressing his gratitude.

Recently, Yang Yang-kyung became the center of attention by posting a post on social media. The article posted by Yang Yeo-gyeong was an article that said, 'It has been over 20 years since a non-white person won the Best Actress Award.' This is interpreted as a criticism of the 'White Oscars', a white-centered Academy Awards ceremony.

In the article, there was the name of Cate Blanchett, who was nominated for Best Actress along with Yang Yeo-kyung. Accordingly, it was pointed out that Yang Yeo-kyung violated Rule 11 of the Academy Awards. At the Academy Awards, mentioning the names and works of other nominees is prohibited.

Yang Yang-kyung, perhaps conscious of the controversy, immediately deleted the post. Even the SNS controversy could not stop Yang Yang from winning the award. Yang Yang-kyung won the title of ‘first’. His award is also attracting a lot of attention. This is because it evoked waves of emotion by mentioning children and women. Attention is being paid to what the future will be like for Yeo Jae-kyung, who became the first Asian actress to win the Oscar for Best Actress.
