# List of awards and nominations received by Michelle Yeoh

Michelle Yeoh is a Malaysian actress who has received many awards and nominations. Following a spinal injury that prevented Yeoh from pursuing a ballet career professionally, she began competing in beauty pageants. In 1983, she was crowned Miss World Malaysia at the age of 20 and represented her country at the Miss World pageant, where she placed 18th overall. A year later, she continued to win the title of Miss Moomba International in Australia. This gave her an opportunity to enter the Hong Kong film world before working in Hollywood.
Michelle Yeoh's first starring role in Yes, Madam earned her the first nomination at the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best New Performer. In 1998, Yeoh's career turned over a new page when she received her second nomination for this award in the Best Supporting Actress for The Soong Sisters. In the same year, Yeoh's first role in Hollywood in James Bond's film Tomorrow Never Dies continued to bring her a MTV Movie & TV Awards nomination in the Best Fight category. Early 21st century, with an appearance in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the first foreign language film to set a Guinness World Record of surpassing $100 million at the box office in the United States, gained the actor widespread recognition with many prestigious award nominations, such as the British Academy Film Awards, Chlotrudis Awards, Saturn Awards, Hong Kong Film Awards, Golden Horse Awards, Toronto Film Critics Association, Vancouver Film Critics Circle, and was awarded by the Ethnic Multicultural Media Academy in the Best Film Actress category.
The next era was marked by ups and downs in the actress's career. She embarked on producing her two first English films, The Touch and Silver Hawk, through Mythical Company, Yeoh's own production company, which brought her two Huabiao Awards for "Outstanding Co-Production Film". In 2011, Yeoh received her first two Satellite Awards and Asian Film Awards nominations for her performance as a 1991 Nobel Peace Prize-winning politician Aung San Suu Kyi and the wuxia movie Reign of Assassins. Seven years later, Yeoh's career has reached a new milestone, her participation in the series Star Trek: Discovery earned her the second Saturn Awards nomination in the category Best Guest Starring Role on Television. Besides, the success of the project Crazy Rich Asians has helped Yeoh receive many other award nominations, typical of which are the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, Dorian Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and being awarded Best Cast by the National Board of Review.
2022 is the opening year for later history-making successes. As the female lead in the science-fiction surreal comedy film Everything Everywhere All at Once, directed by Daniels, she received her second British Academy Film Awards nomination while winning a series of prestigious film awards such as Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Critics' Choice Super Awards, Satellite Awards, and Saturn Awards. On March 12, 2023, Yeoh earned the Academy Award for Best Actress, officially setting a Guinness World Record by becoming the first Asian actress to receive this honor in the 95-year history of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
