Actress Michelle Yeoh didn’t put up with Golden Globes producers trying to cut her acceptance speech short Tuesday night during the awards ceremony.

The 60-year-old replied with a joking, “Shut up,” when the music started playing, a common tactic used to usher talent off the stage when their remarks drag on too long.

“I can beat you up,” Yeoh continued. “And that’s serious.”

Yeoh was on stage accepting the award for Best Actress in a motion picture, musical, or comedy category for her depiction of laundromat owner Evelyn Wang in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The Malaysian star has been working in Hollywood for decades, starting with the James Bond film “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997).

She also starred in the Oscar-winning martial arts drama “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”

“I’m just going to stand here and take this all in,” she said during her speech on Tuesday. “Forty years … I’m not letting go of this.”

“When I first came to Hollywood, it was a dream come true … until I got here. I came here and was told, ‘You’re a minority,’” Yeoh said of her career experience. She also discussed getting fewer parts as she got older.

“I thought, ‘Hey, come on girl. You had a really, really good run,’” she said.

“Thank you A24 for believing in these two goofy, insanely smart, wonderful geniuses, [directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert], who had the courage to write about a very ordinary immigrant, aging woman, mother, daughter,” Yeoh said of the film company which distributed “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

“I was given this gift of playing this woman who resonated so deeply with me and with so many people because, at the end of the day, in whatever universe she was at, she was fighting for love, for her family,” she continued.

Yeoh previously talked about her mother’s reaction to her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress revealed her mom’s surprising criticism.

“I was really worried about her seeing the sex toys that were flying around in the movie, but I guess she never noticed those. Instead, she said, ‘Why do you look so old? You should look like the film where you had the ballgown on!’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’” she said. 

“But that’s so typical of my mom: She wants me to run around the entire movie looking like a movie star.”

New Republican Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order this week banning the use of “Latinx” in government documents because it is “culturally insensitive” to the Latino community.

“Ethnically insensitive and pejorative language has no place in official government documents or government employee titles,” Sanders’ executive order stated. “The government has a responsibility to respect its citizens and use ethnically appropriate language, particularly when referring to ethnic minorities.”

The executive order noted that polling from the Pew Research Center has found that roughly only 2-3% of Latinos even use the word “Latinx” to describe themselves and that the Real Academia Española, a Madrid-based institution that serves as a guide for the Spanish language, has officially rejected the use of “x” as an alternative to “o” and “a” in Spanish.

Sanders said that it was the official policy of her administration to “prohibit the use of culturally insensitive words for official state government business.”

“All state offices, departments, and agencies, unless granted an exemption by the Governor, shall review official documents of their respective entities regarding the use of the term ‘Latinx,’ ‘latinx,’ ‘Latinxs,’ or ‘latinxs’ in official state documents,” the order said.

The state entities are to report back to the Governor’s office highlighting all instances in which the word is used and “within sixty (60) days of this Order, all state offices, departments, and agencies shall revise all existing written materials by replacing the terms ‘Latinx,’ ‘latinx,’ ‘Latinxs,’ or ‘latinxs’ with ‘Hispanic,’ ‘Hispanics,’ ‘Latino,’ ‘Latinos,’ ‘Latina,’ or ‘Latinas.'”

Sanders also signed an executive order targeting woke indoctrination in schools, specifically Critical Race Theory, which the order described as “antithetical to the traditional American values of neutrality, equality, and fairness.”

“It emphasizes skin color as a person’s primary characteristic, thereby resurrecting segregationist values, which America has fought so hard to reject,” the order said. “It is the policy of this administration that CRT, discrimination, and indoctrination have no place in Arkansas classrooms.”

Sanders, 40, was sworn into office in Little Rock on Tuesday where she follows in the footsteps of her father, Mike Huckabee, who served as governor of the state from 1996 to 2007.

I am incredibly honored to be the 47th Governor, and the first woman governor, of the great state of Arkansas.

We will show the world that there is still a place in America where freedom reigns and liberty will never die, and that place is Arkansas.
