Every Asian Actor Who Has Won An Oscar (Photos)

Since the very first Academy Awards in 1929, only 23 performances by Asian actors have been nominated for an Oscar.

Four of those 23 nominations came in 2023: Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu for “Everything Everywhere All At Once” (above) and Hong Chau for “The Whale” (next photo).

Bing Chen, President and Executive Chairman of Gold House — the organization that unites, invests in, and promotes Asian Pacific Islander creatives and creative projects — toasted the record AAPI nominations earlier this week.

“Our community leads in nearly every major Oscar category while our own Gold House co-founder [Janet Yang] is President of The Academy,” Chen said in his speech.
