Michelle Yeoh Receives AFI Honorary Degree: You Have Made My Mother the Happiest Mother
The entertainer added another title to her resume on Saturday when she was granted a privileged Doctorate of Fine Arts by the American Film Institute at the film school's class of 2022 initiation service. Yeoh's Everything Everywhere All At Once chiefs The Daniels (AKA Daniel Kwan and Daniel Schreiner) were available to give her the distinction at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theater.
Of their new cooperation, "I think we misjudged exactly the way in which hazardous the content was for her," Schreiner said during the pair's presentation discourse. "We'd think of ourselves as on set and see Michelle putting her wiggly sausage fingers covered with sauces into Jamie Lee Curtis' mouth — on the off chance that you haven't seen our film, that occurs in our film — and we were that way's, 'daring.'"
"We've seen her, clearly, as do a cruiser hop onto a moving train and that is truly cool," added Kwan, at the same time, Schreiner rushed to contribute, "I figure what she did in our film is more daring."
