Michelle Yeoh has been making waves in Hollywood with her outstanding performances for several years now, putting her in the running for an Oscar. However, a recent Instagram post by Yeoh has sparked controversy and debate about the Academy's rules.

Her recent role in the highly acclaimed absurdist dramedy, Everything Everywhere All at Once has once again placed her in the spotlight, with many predicting that she could be a strong contender for Best Actress come Sunday evening.

The now-deleted post consisted of multiple images containing excerpts from a Vogue article that highlighted the Academy's failure to award the Best Actress award to a non-white nominee for over two decades. The crux of the controversy surrounding the post centered on a specific paragraph that mentioned Cate Blanchett, who was also nominated for her performance in "Tar."
