Best Supporting Actress for “The Aviator” in 2005 and Best Actress for “Blue Jasmine” in 2014 Age: 53 Notable Wins: Venice Film Festival Volpi Cup, BAFTA, Golden Globes.

She’s had integral roles in what have been the first large U.S. studio movies in years with Asian-led casts—Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings” and “Crazy Rich Asians.” As much as those films mean to her, she was a polished supporting player in them — then came “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” The Daniels originally named the multiverse hopping matriarch Michelle, as a “love letter” to Yeoh.
