Actress Michelle Yeoh, whose surname is the exact opposite of mine, went after CNN host Don Lemon at the Oscars Sunday night when she made her speech for best actress.
Yeoh, not Hoey, is the first Asian person to win as lead actress in the popular, albeit weird, film "Everything Everywhere All At Once."
Without even trying to keep race out of the mix, Yeoh said, "For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities," as she accepted the award. Why race has become the focus on all of American life is proof that we had come a long way before Obama came into office, and now we're drifting back to where the nation was in the days of Jim Crow and the Dixiecrats.
Now came the Lemon dig. "This is proof that dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you're ever past your prime. Never give up."
After her speech, several television hosts and media critics were asking Yeoh if her part about ladies and their prime was a dig at Don Lemon. He did, after all, say on the CNN morning show he hosts with two women that women over 50 are past their prime, as he attempted to disrespect GOP 2024 presidential hopeful, Nikki Haley, who is 51, and only proving that the USA is the greatest country in the world when a complete fool can become a millionaire.

"Nikki Haley isn't in her prime, sorry," the fool told his female co-hosts on "CNN This Morning" about the former South Carolina governor and US Ambassador to the UN.
"A woman is considered to be in their prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s," he claimed, and suggested his co-host "google it" if they doubted him.
Contributing editor for Current Affairs Briahna Joy Gray said that she couldn't have predicted Yeoh’s barbs against Lemon. "Michelle Yeoh coming for Don Lemon was not on my #Oscar bingo card," she tweeted alongside an Oscars trophy emoji.
Other media figures, many of them women, also praised Yeoh for her comments on age.

Television host Bianca Gonzalez lauded the Oscar-winning actress in a viral Twitter post. "We are NEVER past our prime. PREACH, Michelle Yeoh!!!!!!!"
"It has been confirmed. Michelle Yeoh is an unstoppable force," CNN anchor Kristie Lu Stout tweeted.
"I’m not crying," TV anchor Susan Li wrote, "you’re crying."
On another note, the film "Top Gun" was tops at the box office but due to its "unwokeness" only won the award for best sound. So it's obvious that popularity, Christian and America-centric movies are not Oscar's choice so "Oscar this," Oscar.
