She wasn't the only Canadian to win
It was a good night for Canada at the 95th Academy Awards.
Canadian-American performer Brendan Fraser won best actor for his performance in The Whale, while Toronto filmmaker Sarah Polley won her first Oscar for best adapted screenplay for the film ``Women Talking.'' She had been nominated in the same category once before.
Montreal-born makeup artist Adrien Morot was part of the team recognized with the best makeup Oscar for helping Brendan Fraser's transformation into the 600-plus-pound character.
Best documentary went to Toronto filmmaker Daniel Roher for his film ``Navalny,'' an investigative look into the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Malaysian-born Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian to win the best actress Oscar for her role as a multiverse jumping mother in ``Everything Everywhere All at Once.''
The film went on to win Best Picture, just one of seven Oscars trophies.
