@neontaster "Openly Asian" is going to sound weird to people who don't know the Merle Oberon story - but Oberon never won, so that fact wasn't relevant when Yeoh did. The extra ungainliness comes from trying to un-gender the word "actress," which the Academy doesn't do but NPR does. — PolitiTweet.org
