Oscars 2023: Did Michelle Yeoh shade THIS person during her acceptance speech? Here's what we know
Have Michelle Yeoh's inspiring words during her acceptance speech turned into throwing shades?
You can either make lemonade or taste the sour zest of a lime. But Michelle Yeoh took a completely different hit, as she might have dropped a sour zest of lime at CNN host Don Lemon during her Best Actress acceptance speech for her role in ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ at the 2023 Oscars on Sunday.
Michelle Yeoh's statement, which is directed towards Don Lemon
For all the little boys and girls who look like me and are watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities. ‘This is proof to dream big, and dreams do come true,’ Yeoh, who is 60, went on to address the audience as she made history by becoming the first-ever Asian woman to win in the category.
She continued by saying, ‘And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime.’ ‘Never give up.’
Many viewers speculated that Yeoh's remarks were in response to Lemon's sexist remarks about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley being past "her prime" at the age of 51.
