LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Every flower takes its time to bloom, and so did Golden Globe pianist, Chloe Flower. However, Golden Globe Awards night seems to have been a blessing in disguise for her. Golden Globes pianist Chloe Flower was having a rough night. It's a hard job to try and play off an overwhelmed star during their acceptance speech and considering it is Michelle Yeo, the jitters are perhaps understandable.

'The Crazy Rich Asians' actor, Michelle Yeoh bagged the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy for her performance in 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' and took her time to soak at the moment. However, Yeoh was interrupted in the middle of her speech as a piano began to play in the background, seemingly urging her to exit the stage.

However, Yeoh refused to step down, responding with a quick, “Shut up, please,” which prompted laughter from the audience. “I can beat you up,” the actress added with a laugh. This incident somehow made Chloe Flower viral.

After the Golden Globes, Chloe Flower spoke to Variety, where she clarified what exactly went down. 

“My job was to bring everybody back from commercial break with a performance, so I don’t know how that got lost in translation,” she told the outlet. But what fans didn’t see was Flower and Yeoh having a moment off-camera. “After she won her award, she walked past the piano and I spoke to her,” Flower said. “We embraced. We touched and we held hands. I said, ‘I would never disrespect you and play during your speech.’ She was so lovely and nice.” Flower added there were no hard feelings. Perhaps, all is well in Hollywood. 

'Everything Everywhere All at Once' was nominated a total of six times at the 2023 Golden Globes. In addition to Yeoh and Quan’s wins, the film’s nominations included Best Motion Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actress (Jamie Lee Curtis).

Since 1944, the Golden Globe Awards have been presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to recognize the excellence of English and international film. The awards have a total of 25 categories for both motion pictures and television.
