Stephanie Hsu says her Oscar nomination for 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' has always felt like a dream that was 'so far away' for her that she 'couldn't even touch it.'
Hsu shared the same sentiments as Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, who are also Oscar-nominated for their leading and supporting roles in the film, respectively.in January for best actress in a musical or comedy motion picture, as well as the Screen Actors Guild Award for female actor in a leading role, has put a spotlight on representation in film and the historic lack of opportunities for Asians in film -- especially as they age.
During her Golden Globes speech in January, Yeoh noted that, despite decades of work, when she first came to Hollywood, she was immediately treated with skepticism and asked if she spoke English. "I remember when I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true ... until I got here, because look at this face! I came here and was told, 'You're a minority,' and I was like, 'No that's not possible,'" she recalled."As time went by -- I turned 60 last year, and I think all of you women understand this -- as the days, the years, and the numbers get bigger, it seems like opportunities start to get smaller as well. ...
Hsu told"GMA" on Friday that being nominated alongside Yeoh and Quan feels like they're"breaking the cycle together.""Growing up, I just, you know -- it cannot be stressed enough that if you see it, you can believe it," Hsu said."And we just didn't see it. James Hong didn't see it at 94 years old, Michelle didn't see it, Ke didn't see it, I didn't see it.
"We've been making this space for ourselves at the same time and so I think the most special thing about all these nominations and getting to be nominated together is that we're breaking all these records for the Asian community and getting to make space so that younger versions of ourselves never have to think, 'Oh it's not possible,'" she said.
