"We’re committed to supporting authentic storytelling from, about, and featuring people from under-represented groups ... "Asian women, they have these double barriers; we have to fight against sexism, which is quite deeply embedded in Australian culture, but then another layer is the racism. "In the past, only Jackie Chan’s films were shown ... "Michelle Yeoh ... and then I saw one journalist, Alison Fan, who was in Perth. Australian stories have the power to resonate with audiences here and around the world and we want to see more representation of our diverse communities." Dr Song said while the image of Asian culture and people is shifting, "we don't actually hear a lot about the success stories Asian Australians are making for Australian society". Mainstream portrayals of Asian characters have also been "misrepresented" and "mischaracterised" in the past, Dr Song said, but it is changing. So you have to break the glass ceiling and after that, the bamboo ceiling is waiting for you." "It's taken decades for this change to occur, even with politics and culture, the arts, we need representation in order for change to happen." "I think the more we see Asians represented in television and film and in theatre, the more people feel that Asians are part of the community."

[the ceremony a quarter-century ago](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/titanic-oscars-oral-history-1235343150/) at which Titanic was expected to dominate, and did, was and remains the most watched ever, whereas the last two ceremonies, held during the darkest days of the pandemic, when moviegoing was decimated, attracted the two lowest figures ever. [Top Gun’s Tom Cruise](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/tom-cruise-jokes-top-gun-scientology-2023-oscars-1235349713/) and Avatar’s James Cameron apparently saw the writing on the wall and opted to skip the ceremony altogether — not the nicest thing to do when one’s studio has spent a fortune campaigning for one’s movie, when one’s colleagues are up for many awards, and when the Academy is desperate for big names to help draw viewers to the Oscars. A full half of the best picture nominees were completely shut out: Searchlight’s Banshees went 0-for-9; Warners’ Elvis went 0-for-8 (with lead actor Austin Butler’s loss probably partly the result of voters assuming that he will have more chances in the future than Fraser); Universal’s The Fabelmans went 0-for-7 (Steven Spielberg probably would have won his third directing Oscar and first in 24 years but for the Daniels); Focus’ Tár went 0-for-6 (lead actress Cate Blanchett was not helped by the fact that she already has two Oscars on her mantelpiece); and Neon’s Triangle of Sadness went 0-for-3. While the 95th Oscars was dominated by an indie distributor — out of 23 categories, A24 films won nine — it wasn’t a bad night for the streamers that are increasingly central to the business. Given the real-world popularity of this year’s top contenders — Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar, Elvis and yes, Everything Everywhere — I would be very surprised and, frankly, concerned, if this year’s ratings don’t tick up quite a bit from the last two. People in Ireland had plenty of reason to care about this year’s ceremony, too, given that five of the 20 acting nominees — four from The Banshees of Inisherin and one from Aftersun — and the team behind the eventual winner of best live-action short, An Irish Goodbye, all hail from the Emerald Isle. It’s especially remarkable that A24 — which previously backed one other film that went on to win best picture, Moonlight — managed to keep Everything Everywhere in the conversation for more than a year. Everything Everywhere — which has grossed $106.7 million, the most of any release of A24 Films ever — also exemplifies the strides that the Academy has made over the seven years since the second consecutive installment of #OscarsSoWhite. The film premiered at SXSW on March 11, 2022, and was then released in the U.S. on April 8, 2022; no eventual best picture winner had that early of a theatrical release since The Silence of the Lambs came out Feb. And A24 appears to have spent less on Everything Everywhere’s [President Janet Yang](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/podcast-janet-yang-academy-president-oscars-2023-will-smith-1235348650/) — was [dominated by ](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/2023-oscars-winners-list-1235349224/) [Everything Everywhere All at Once](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/everything-everywhere-all-at-once/), a film that certainly isn’t for everyone, but apparently is for enough of the 10,000 members of the [Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/academy-motion-picture-arts-sciences/) to prevail over formidable competition on the preferential (read: weighted/ranked-choice) ballot that the organization uses to determine its best picture.
