Will That Change in 2023?” on Tuesday (March 7).While most of the article highlights the lack of representation at the Academy Awards, a paragraph – included in Yeoh’s Instagram post – specifically refers to Blanchett who is nominated for her performance in Tár.“Detractors would say that Blanchett’s is the stronger performance – the acting veteran is, indisputably, incredible as the prolific conductor Lydia Tár – but it should be noted that she already has two Oscars,” the article reads.
