Watch Ke Huy Quan accept 2023 Best Supporting Actor Oscar with emotional speech

His work was finally recognized after months of publicizing it. You Can Have Everything at OnceKe Huy Quan, who won every award possible, including the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Golden Globes, was the Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor in the 2023 Oscars. The actor, who was tearing up, took the podium and gave an emotional speech reflecting on his career path, as well as giving thanks for the many people that shaped his life.

“My journey started on a boat,” Quan started off. “I spent a year in a refugee camp. And somehow I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage. Stories like these are not possible at home. I can’t believe this is happening to me. This is the American dream!”

After thanking those who helped him along the way — including fellow Goonies actor Jeff Cohen, who is now his lawyer — Quan had a special shoutout for his wife.

“I owe everything to the love my life, Echo. Who month after month, year after year for 20 years told me that one day my time will come,” continued Quan. “Dreams are something you have to believe in. My dreams almost ended when I gave up. To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive.”

Quan started his career in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, where he played the adventurer’s plucky kid sidekick Short Round. Quan, who had a handful of other roles during his childhood, stopped acting as an adult because he was discouraged at the insufficient number of opportunities. While he remained in the industry over the years, working behind the scenes on films (including in the stunt department on 2000’s X-MenAfter an audition that was a success, Quan returned to the acting world. Everything, Everywhere at the Same Time.

Everything, Everywhere at the Same Time, Quan played Waymond, the husband of Michelle Yeoh’s character Evelyn, and every iteration of him across the multiverse. That includes the cool, confident “Alpha Waymond;” the regular Waymond, who puts googly eyes on everything and wants to fix his marriage; and the ultra romantic and pining celebrity-universe Waymond.

Everything, Everywhere at the Same Time Nominated tonight for 11 Awards
