Crazy Rich Asians Definitely Has Oscar Potential — 5 Categories It Could Win

While Wu portrays the lead character in John Chu's film, Michelle Yeoh pulls the story together as the stern Young matriarch. It'd be refreshing to see Yeoh get an Oscar bid for her subtle but complicated performance. Not to forget Awkwafina or Gemma Chan, but it's really the relationship between Rachel and Eleanor that drives the tension in Crazy Rich Asians and makes it so unique. A nomination would be a first for Yeoh and a historical milestone for Asians, as there have only been four Asian women ever nominated for best supporting actress since 1957. Again, the competition is tight, with performances from Claire Foy (First Man), Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk), and Emma Stone (The Favourite) this year.
