I rewatched that movie recently (called “Supercop” in the US) because it was the first time I had heard of this actress and I wanted to see it again. I think at the time she was billed as “Michelle Khan.” I had misheard the name and thought that Chinese-American teenage ice skater Michelle Kwan was in a Jackie Chan movie. 😂

One of my favorite stories of hers is how, initially Jackie didn't think much of her, but after a while she actually scared him. She was pretty new and wasn't really a trained martial artist, so she didn't yet have the deep respect of the Hong Kong industry that she has now.

I think she at least deserves 4 minutes (without being cut off) after a 40-year career…

When I first came to Hollywood, it’s a dream come true until I got here. Michelle Yeoh Thank you for not giving up in every way, your career, your passion, and your incredible look for a woman at any age! You are a legend and inspiration for women around the world. You give hope to those who feel “as the days, the years, and the numbers get bigger, it seems like opportunities start to get smaller.”

I’ve grown up watching her on screen. She is always so elegant, strong, caring and total class act. Congratulations!!

Truly teared up watching this speech. Congrats to Michelle Yeoh on a long overdue win, an icon and beacon of inspiration for many!

I'm sincerely amazed that a great actress like Michelle Yeoh can win a premier award all things considered. Her age, her origins, the premise of this movie... more. For all the negativity in our time, this feels just right. This was a woman who acted in amazing action-based Kung Fu movies in China in the early 90s, who at the age of 60 has won her first Golden Globe for Best Actress. Unbelievable, and inspiring 👏

When she said she could beat them up, I have no doubts that she could!

THE DANIELS LAUGHING WHEN SHE TOLD THE MUSIC SHUT UP IS SO CUTE . The way the cast and Daniel are looking at her ugh I love her so so much

She's a wonderful actress and a great person with incredible humility. My admiration for her is immense!

Bravo, Michelle Yeoh. This is way overdo... I've been watching you since I was little girl in the 90's from Hong Kong films to Tomorrow Never Dies to today... Thank you for shining a light on all of us, Asian/Asian American women/Asian actors, etc. I can't help but tear up too. Keep fighting!

I love her! She’s been in a lot of my favorite movies. From Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon to Memoirs of a Geisha. She’s one of the best! Hands down. So happy she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves here in America.

She is gorgeous at 60..wow taking my breath away. You deserve more then just golden globe recognition!

Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett and Viola Davis give me hope. These women are talented and stunning and make me look forward to the years ahead! I am so inspired by them.

I was glad to hear her speak. She's been one of my favorite actresses since I saw that movie. The more I learn about her and the more I find out what kind of a person she is the more I respect her and admire her.

her speech was so beautiful 😭😭😭

This was such a deserved win. Also, let’s talk about how the piano eventually just stopped completely. That’s the power Michelle Yeoh has!

She was a badass in Star Trek too!

About time someone recognize this talented, gorgeous, brilliant, intelligent, powerful and inspiring actor, woman, and artist. ⭐️ Respect to this 👸🏻

Now THAT is how you do an award acceptance! She's 60?!?! Wow, what a woman! 👏👏👏👏👏

Yeoh's speech reminded me a bit of Julie Andrews 1964 Golden Globe speech when she eloquently flipped Jack Warner the bird. Only, here, Yeoh flatly reminded the viewers about the trials women face in pictures still today-particularly, non-WASPY women who do not fit a particular genre. It's quite moving-emotional, and shows me just how much emotion she places into her roles on screen & off.

An elegant exquisite & humble actress. So glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves. 😊🙏🏻❤️👑

Michelle Yeoh is all class. I've watched all of her movies. Wing Chun, Tomorrow Never Dies (James Bond), and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. This award was well deserved.

Best speech I’ve heard so far after receiving an award. The storyline, the humility, and appreciation of co-actors and producers, it’s all on-point. She speaks not only for herself but for everyone.
