Michelle Yeoh, who won the Best Actress Award at the 95th Academy Awards ceremony, was on a videoconference call with her mother in Malaysia immediately after winning the award.

The 95th Academy Awards ceremony, the world’s most prestigious film festival, was held on 12 March (local time).

The film Everything Everywhere at Once, starring Michelle Yeoh, achieved the feat of winning the most awards by winning seven categories: best screenplay, best editing, best director, best actress, best supporting actress, best supporting actor and the highest honour in the film industry, Best Picture.

Michelle Yeoh won the Best Actress award for the first time in her career and the first ever for an Asian. In her acceptance speech, Michelle said: ‘I have to dedicate this award to my mother. To all mothers around the world. They are the superheroes. Without them, none of us would be here. My mother is 84 years old. I am taking this (trophy) home to her. She is now in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, watching the awards ceremony with my family and friends. I love you all and I am bringing this back to you,” she said, expressing her deep love for her family and encouraging mothers around the world.

Her mother, Janet, was watching the awards ceremony in real time with her family and many friends in what looked like a large venue, and she made a video call with Michelle, who was thrilled with her trophy, looking very excited.
