"Madame Morrible is a Golden Bear winner.

Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh added another prestigious award to her
collection on Wednesday night in a very rainy Berlin, where she was presented
with the Honorary Golden Bear for lifetime achievement at the 2026 Berlinale.

“Lifetime achievement is a very big phrase. It sounds like a conclusion, but I
prefer to think of it as a pause, a moment to breathe, to look back, and then
to keep walking forward — carefully, of course, so nobody takes this Bear
back,” she said, following a montage of clips of her films including “Wicked,”
“Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,” Everything Everywhere All At Once,” “The Lady”
and her early Hong Kong action classics."

Well deserved!  I love all her work, including the Hong Kong action movies that
we used to go see at the Chinese Cinema here in Melbourne and in Star Trek:
Discovery
.
