It's Been Literal Decades Since The Cast Of "Everything Everywhere" Began Acting, So Here's What They Looked Like At Their First Red Carpets Vs. Now

This year, Everything Everywhere All at Once won big at the SAG Awards, and a lot of the cast's acceptance speeches acknowledged how much the awards meant, especially given the few opportunities out there for Asian actors in Hollywood.

Despite the lack of opportunities, many of the cast members — from James Hong to Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan — have been acting for decades. So, to celebrate their wins and their careers, which have made history and opened doors for many to follow, here's the cast of EEAAO at their first red carpet premiere and their most recent:
