Ke Huy Quan Chokes Up During Well-Deserved Oscar Speech

39 YEARS after making his film debut in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and more than two decades after pressing pause on his acting career, Ke Huy Quan is now an Academy Award winner for his work in A24's Everything Everywhere All At Once.

In the expansive, multiverse-jumping adventure film, the 51-year-old star plays Waymond Wang, who harbors deep love for his wife, Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) in every universe they're in, whether they're owning a laundromat and doing taxes or doing kung-fu and fighting evil.

Quan beat out the likes of Barry Keoghan and Brendan Gleeson (for The Banshees of Inisherin), Judd Hirsch (for The Fabelmans), and Brian Tyree Henry (for Causeway) to come away with the award.

Below, you can watch and read Ke Huy Quan's acceptance speech for winning Best Supporting Actor at the 95th Academy Awards:

Quan already has firm post-Oscar plans in order: he will appear in both Season 2 of Loki and the new series American Born Chinese (which will also feature his Everything Everywhere All At Once costars Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, and James Wong) on Disney+. May the renaissance continue!
