I’m really interested in the mayhem BAFTA will wage on this category. Colman vs. Robbie vs. Mulligan will give voters an ulcer.

Have there ever been two Asian actresses nominated in lead at the same time?

I believe that both Michelle Yeoh and Tang Wei are strong contenders

It’s hard to believe but there’s never even been one Asian actress nominated for lead in best actress let alone two Asian actresses nominated at the same time..

Another embarrassing statistic that the Academy will hope to resolve this year.

It’s going to be Robbie!

BAFTA gave her a nomination for a thankless role in OUATIH! They love her too much to ignore the one legit chance she has to be crowned.

The BAFTA jury when all three get snubbed:

FYC:

"The Good Fight", "The Other Two" and "Station Eleven" in all categories, Sarah Lancashire ("Julia"), William Jackson Harper ("Love Life") and Luke Kirby ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel")

If by any chance Michelle Yeoh doesn’t get nominated, It will become my number 1 biggest oscar snub ever on this category.

Darling, Crazy Talented Yeoh is incredible in Everything. I hope the SlapShow didn’t fuck up by snubbing her.

Both Tang Wei and Michelle Yeoh are in acclaimed movies. Yeoh has the edge of being in an English spesking feature. On the other hand, Wei is directed by an Oscar winning director and being in his first movie after the massive Parasite accolade train.

So attention wise and media awareness, they both look strong on paper

I admit to not being a fan of Tang Wei’s film choices. That includes Lust/Caution which I was thrilled to watch Tony Leung. It was also gorgeous to look at. But that’s it. I rarely say this but that film was RACIST and sickening.
Her subsequent film choices are as bad or worse.
But I don’t hold that against her. I WANT to change my mind.
