Telum News Watch is a series of bite-sized interviews with journalists about the latest news that they have been covering.

At the recent 95th Academy Awards, the film Everything Everywhere All At Once swept seven of its eleven nominations, including major accolades such as Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh. To recap the Oscars and unpack what this year's show means for Asian representation around the world, we sat down with Jan Lee, a Journalist at The Straits Times who covers celebrity and entertainment news and hosts the pop culture podcast #PopVultures.

Here is what was covered:
  • Excitement and tension at this year's Oscars (0:36)
  • How The Straits Times covers the Academy Awards (1:37)
  • How PRs can work with Jan's team (2:51)
  • Michelle Yeoh and the Asian diaspora (5:38)
  • Story ideas from the awards (6:24)
