Michelle Yeoh says China's Oscar day to come

By: Our Staff Reporter | February 25, 2009 |

HONG KONG (AFP) - Action star Michelle Yeoh said Tuesday she was confident a Chinese film would soon follow the example of India's "Slumdog Millionaire" and become a big winner at the Oscars.
"I believe very strongly in the Hong Kong and Chinese cinemas. I think... our day (to win the Oscar) will come very, very soon," Yeoh told a press conference in Hong Kong.
The Malaysian-born actress starred in martial arts epic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which won four Oscars in 2001 but missed out on the best film award.
She said the wealth of legends and attractive landscapes in Asia was a great resource for the region's film industry.
Yeoh, who was a Bond Girl in "Tomorrow Never Dies", sent her best wishes to "Slumdog" director Danny Boyle on his best director award on Sunday.
"I cried. I was so happy for him," said Yeoh, who worked with Boyle in the sci-fi thriller "Sunshine".
"Slumdog Millionaire" is a Bollywood-inspired film about a Mumbai tea boy who rises from poverty and enters a television quiz show to win millions and find the love of his life.
It won eight of the nine Oscars it was nominated for.
