Edward Dion Farinas watches the Academy Awards every year but the Filipino American didn't expect to have such a visceral reaction when hearing Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh's awards announced.
"I had a squeal come out that I was not expecting," said Farinas, who was watching Sunday from his Austin, Texas, home, complete with "Everything Everywhere All at Once" themed pastries from a local Asian American-owned bakery.
Written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert , who won best-directing and best original screenplay Oscars, the story centers on a glammed-down Yeoh as Evelyn Wang, a frazzled laundromat owner preparing for an IRS audit. Meanwhile, she is struggling with an unhappy husband , her critical father and an openly lesbian daughter .
Cho, of Pittsburgh, is nationally recognized for her cookie portraits of forgotten and famous Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and has drawn social media attention for her tributes to Yeoh and Quan. She hopes to give the cookies to them one day because she's been so inspired by their performances and how they've carried themselves.
Quan's remarks about coming to the U.S. as a Vietnamese refugee and living in a refugee camp resonated particularly because that's what her parents lived through.But all the movie's Oscars mean a lot to Asian Americans, she said. "It does tell the community that we have done enough ... and we deserve to be celebrated, whether in like the highest of courts or just back home."
"The recognition is there finally. Just across society, people will be appreciating more even in education with more interest about Asian and Asian American history. It will change the mindset of Asian Americans being foreigners."
