  • DMX Immortalized by Family, Friends
    ARAB TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 26, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Film ‘Historic gains’ Oscar slate holds ‘fi rsts’ for Asians By Lindsey Bahr t may be hard to believe that there are still many I“firsts” left to check off after 93 years of the Acad- emy Awards, and yet this year there were a handful for Asian actors and filmmakers. Steven Yeun (“Minari”) became the fi rst Asian American actor to be nominated for best actor. Riz Ahmed (“Sound of Metal”) is the fi rst Muslim to be nominated for best actor. It’s the fi rst time that there are two best actor candidates of Asian heritage. Youn Yuh-jung (“Minari”) is the fi rst Korean woman to be nominated for any acting award. “Nomadland’s” Chloé Zhao is the fi rst Asian woman to be nominated for best director. And, with direc- tor Lee Issac Chung ’s direct- ing nomination for “Minari,” it’s also the fi rst time there are two Asian nominees in that race. The historic gains spotlight where the organization has made progress and where there is still work to do, especially Ahmed after a year in which Asian Americans were increasingly targeted in racist attacks. Nancy Yuen, author of the book “Reel Inequality: Hollywood Actors and Racism,” said the nominations this year are exciting. The actors are being recognized for roles, Yuen said, “That are not demeaning, that aren’t fi tting into stereotypes that are problematic. They are fully complex human beings.” That hasn’t always been the case for Asian actors who have broken through to the Oscars.
