I just saw the movie. I would give nominations for Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actress (for both Yeoh and Aquafina), Cinematography, production design, editing, original score, adapted screenplay
Now we need more diversity when it comes to behind the scenes. White people are still writing and producing everything. That's where the real changes are made
Adele Lim is an Asian woman who co-wrote Crazy RIch Asians, (she's wrote and produced many TV shows) but what you said is right, still have a long way to go...
+Nathan Crowther Are you kidding (or Singaporean)? Kidding aside, there are huge film industries in Asia. The problem in the US/West is that it's not _seen_ as an option, either in role models or actual productions. Constance Wu said, "Sometimes you don't get opportunity unless you see possibility".
Hm I'm not sure where you got the stat but actors are actors and need not double as writers just because they are EA. It comes back to the problem of lack of representation. For Asians in the West, I'm sure there's cultural influence on at least two fronts: 1) family -- it's no coincidence that amongst the actors in this film there are law graduates, a doctor, etc. so no, writing is not traditionally an 'acceptable' career path, 2) are Asians allowed to write for predominantly white stories (what studios are mostly making)? Historically, no and wouldn't it be better if they had a chance to tell their own perspectives even if they are a monolingual English speaker in London? Like the book's author, several of my Asian friends write on the side, after their day jobs. Maybe with the commercial success of this film, more are emboldened to take that career leap. Someone needs to be that pioneer and model of success.
+Nathan Crowther is clearly a troll. Please spare us the "we" language. The argument by East and Southeast Asian American writers has always been that their stories aren't valued by Hollywood, which has always been worried about making a financial return. But here are a few mixed race Filipinos that defy exactly what you are saying (I only know of which because I'm half too): Robert Lopez - most winning musical writer ever, having won 2 oscars, 3 grammies, 2 golden globes, 3 tonies Bruno Mars - obvious Joey Santiago - Full filipino lead guitarist of iconic Pixies band Kirk Hamlett - lead guitarist of Metalica Enrique Iglesias - Pop singer And more that we don't know about.
can this interviewer just be the interviewee for all the press? He's got great questions, super professional and actually not cringy and awkward. I'VE RECENTLY SEEN AN AWKWARD one and that was such a pain. 😫🙄 and then some interviewers are just straight up obnoxious, but not this guy. I lovvee him! 😁 just perfect
Henry Golding you are awesome and proud to be Borneo people. I hope James Wan and Henry Golding make a movie together set in the Borneo maybe a horror film.
Could i just hope that maybe Constanze and Henry should be for the character of Disney Mulan and Zhang. They are so perfect. Constanze Wu is the Quality of Mulan like" Every women should listen to their heart". A projection of Strong Independent but also a very romantic character kind a Women
The question to Ken Jeong made me realize that something is really wrong with the working conditions of their industry. People are just people, why do you point out Asians or not.
9:30 Love this Q&A! 10:41 This bit is a magical wow kind of help from author Kevin Kwan! P.S. Love this whole thing and hope Oscars will post the full much longer session at some point. please please :)
I know, the guy is a decent director, like Robert Schwentke or JA Bayona M. Chu made a G.I.Joe sequel that was better than Rise of Cobra, and despite Now you See Me isn't a good movie, his direction was okay.
He was also in Freaked as the guy in the monster form of Stewie costume. To find more of the movie Freaked go watch Some Jerk with a Camera and talk to him on Twitter also cause Freaked is one of his favorite movies of all time. Or you can IMDb Freaked to get more info of it.
Reza Mardian ugh that is one of the most stereotypical books about "asian Americans" out there. Also just what we need. Another representation of an "Asian" woman married to a white guy.
Watch the talented cast and crew attend the premiere + after party and having such a great time celebrating their success : ua-cam.com/video/vYEEpRhaW6w/v-deo.html
WOOSH. You did not undestand the "Threw It Away" great answer. In performing if you do a lot of preparation then just throw it away. That's a Leap of Faith. Surprisingly honest technical answer Constance Gave. Maybe her facial expressions were strained but just seems like just Thinking on the spot.
@Neojhun made some good observations that I won't repeat. Plus this ~12 minutes video we see here is highly edited. I bet the full session can easily be ~ 60 minutes. Wish we could see that and see more of each person's answers (including Constance's).
I think this movie deserves an Oscar. Like if you agree!
There needs to be a sequel plzzzzz!!! Amazing cast, intelligent people and its truly such an inspirational movie.
Nicole There's a lot of content in the novel that they can still use
Its already confirmed. Hahahaha.
based on the overly ambiguous comments by the cast, there 100% will be two more
Saw this movie with my family. We cried, laughed, and felt inspired. Thank you for making this movie.
I just saw the movie. I would give nominations for Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actress (for both Yeoh and Aquafina), Cinematography, production design, editing, original score, adapted screenplay
I would definitely agree
Great questions from the host. ..and much respect from the panel.
I agree, it was impressive.
This is the kind of content I want more of!!!
The publicity blitz of CRA is awesome. Thanks for the efforts of its crew has made.

well this is academy conversation
Haha well said
Henry Golding is a movie star!
I have become a diehard fan of CRA
Give this movie ALL THE AWARDS
Henry Golding you are awesome and proud to be Borneo people. I hope James Wan and Henry Golding make a movie together set in the Borneo maybe a horror film.
This is my fav interview of Ken Jeong. Humbled and grateful.
Could i just hope that maybe Constanze and Henry should be for the character of Disney Mulan and Zhang. They are so perfect. Constanze Wu is the Quality of Mulan like" Every women should listen to their heart". A projection of Strong Independent but also a very romantic character kind a Women
Luge Yumi Milan has already been cast
Now maybe Ang Lee can make big budget movie english language film with an Asian cast!
Lol
Sophie W. And make it a happy ending😁
Fantastic Movie!
The question to Ken Jeong made me realize that something is really wrong with the working conditions of their industry. People are just people, why do you point out Asians or not.
I agree, was thinking the same
Was looking out for Michelle.. Great conversation nonetheless
Excellent revealing interview.
9:30 Love this Q&A!
10:41 This bit is a magical wow kind of help from author Kevin Kwan!
P.S. Love this whole thing and hope Oscars will post the full much longer session at some point. please please :)
Oscar needed
Interesting conversation!!!
so cray
Directed by Jon M. Chu
His choices for his filmography are really wired.
I know, the guy is a decent director, like Robert Schwentke or JA Bayona
M. Chu made a G.I.Joe sequel that was better than Rise of Cobra, and despite Now you See Me isn't a good movie, his direction was okay.
He was also in Freaked as the guy in the monster form of Stewie costume. To find more of the movie Freaked go watch Some Jerk with a Camera and talk to him on Twitter also cause Freaked is one of his favorite movies of all time. Or you can IMDb Freaked to get more info of it.
Oh and costume design
I agree.
Crazy Rich East Asians
They should adapt Amy Chua's "battle hymn of a tiger mother" and Constance should be the lead role!
Reza Mardian ugh that is one of the most stereotypical books about "asian Americans" out there. Also just what we need. Another representation of an "Asian" woman married to a white guy.
Isn't that non-fiction? I mean you can fictionalize it, if you want to.
benblexbenblex but I find it brutally honest tho. My Mom is not Chinese, but I often relate the story how Asian parents might have that approach
Haha that would be nice
Ugh no. That’s just gonna reinforce stereotypes
(´⊙ω⊙`) is.. is crazy rich asians up for an oscar???
Watch the talented cast and crew attend the premiere + after party and having such a great time celebrating their success : ua-cam.com/video/vYEEpRhaW6w/v-deo.html
What's wrong with Constance? She gave a half-hearted answer compared to the others. Something is bothering her.
WOOSH. You did not undestand the "Threw It Away" great answer. In performing if you do a lot of preparation then just throw it away. That's a Leap of Faith. Surprisingly honest technical answer Constance Gave. Maybe her facial expressions were strained but just seems like just Thinking on the spot.

asian americans score 150 pts higher than white americans on the math sat by median.
Beautiful love story influenced by cultural stereotype.
I'm sorry but why is Ken Jeong here?
I get that he's a veteran but he has like what, three lines in the movie?
he was not even a relevant character
They should bring Nico Santos the character for Oliver, he was a pretty crucial supporting actor
So Constance is the most boring human on earth
