“The nominees are really strong, but we had no doubt. I was speechless, I cried,” said Vicki Yeoh, Michelle Yeoh's niece, who was at the special viewing. Shortly after, Yeoh made a video call to her mom, holding up her trophy in triumph. In her acceptance speech, Yeoh dedicated her award to her mother and said “all the moms in the world” were the real superheroes. Yeoh said she pushed her daughter out of her cocoon despite protests from her late husband, a lawyer whom she described as “old-fashioned.” Janet Yeoh said she was immensely proud of “my little princess,” who wanted to be a ballerina before entering the movie world. “I so love my daughter and she has made Malaysia proud,” Yeoh told a news conference after the viewing at a cinema in Kuala Lumpur. Janet Yeoh, 84, praised the actor as intelligent and hardworking and a filial daughter.
