Irene ZhangJust want to celebrate Lizzo winning the Grammy for Record of the Year. The last time a black woman won the same award was in 1994. So, as Lizzo would say, it’s About Damn Time.
We can also take a moment to marvel that Michelle Yeoh is the FIRST Asian woman to ever be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. This despite the fact that Luise Rainer won an Oscar for playing an Asian woman in yellow face in The Good Earth. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Peter Desnoyers@irene obv. of less significance, but she might also be the only actor to be nominated after playing a significant Star Trek role.
