Recently, at this year's Academy Awards ceremonies for the first time ever a Vietnamese took home one of the trophies. The winner of this year's Oscar in the category of best editing is Thomas Cross for the film, Whiplash.
Thomas Cross is an Amerasian. His mother is Vietnamese, originally from Hue, Vietnam and his father is Anglo-American. Prior to his work as lead editor of the film, Whiplash, which had also won him a BAFTA Award for best editing, Cross had been the lead editor for films such as The Space Between (2010), Any Day Now (2012) and Time Lapse (2014). His winning of an Academy Award this year is an accomplishment for all Vietnamese and Amerasians to be extremely proud of.
