When the highly-anticipated Crazy Rich Asians hit theater screens in 2018, it was the first all-Asian cast to star in a modern film since 1993's Joy Luck Club.
The film became a box-office success, earning over $238 million worldwide and earning the cast nominations at shows like the Golden Globe Awards.
It also led to conversations around the need for more Asian representation in Hollywood, as well as introduced many of us to the hilarious Awkwafina, who then went on the next year to become the first-ever Asian-American to win the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her portrayal in The Farewell.
