One fun fact is that Ke Huy Quan last english spoken film before this comeback was the first major role of Brendan Fraser, the 1992 film Encino Man. And both actors got their first Academy Awards this year.
Goonies and George of the jungle fans are bursting into tears so hard right now. Our boys have come along way. Growing up with those movies seeing these beautiful man receiving an Oscar they rightfully deserve makes my heart incredibly happy and proud. Congratulations Ke Huy Quan (my sweet little Data) and Brandon Fraser (my king of the jungle) your fans love Always and Forever❤️
@@westerling8436 You can develop your skill even without landing roles. 🤨 You just stay active. I'm sorry your brain is so small that you can't figure that out. OR you're just a troll. And everybody feels bad for the loneliness of trolls. But seriously. Also, _some_ people can just have a *natural* talent! Look at Johnny Depp; he hadn't acted a DAY in his life when he was picked up & thrown into the industry and NEVER practiced outside of a set. So. Think a little, okay? He can deserve it because of _his performance_ in the body of work that he _JUST PERFORMED_ in. People's eyes work ToDaY; they don't need a 3 decade resume. I mean, that's like saying first-time first-feature actors who have deservingly won an Oscar and went on to be continually Great didn't deserve it when they won it after only the one film! Deserved is derserved. (When it's true.) Plus, he didn't just sit there; he was a stunt choreographer on films within the industry throughout the years and did his best to try to stay connected. His ETHNICITY *_did_* affect the roles people would [or wouldn't] give him. Perhaps you don't understand that. And why they're celebrating so much. He wanted this. He wanted more. He wanted a chance. And He Never Gave Up!
"One day your time will come" is the best thing you can hear from someone when you have the least hope. This man is so inspiring and makes me believe in my dreams. Congratulations Ke Huy Quan 🎉 I'm in tears
Been involved in the film industry since he was a kid, I'd imagine at one point this seemed impossible. His mom (and dad) gave him the opportunity by helping him get out of Vietnam after the Fall, and the first extremely heartfelt tribute he gives is to her. What a guy.
@@ESW206 ariana debose! she won best supporting actress last year for west side story and she's with troy kotsur who won best supporting actor last year as well for coda
It's kind of poetic that, Steven Spielberg, who started his career on the big screen, was there in the ceremony to witness him gaining an oscar over his own movie. What a journey.
The fact that the female presenter cried when she uttered Quan’s name really speaks volume. I haven’t seen anyone who cried when reading the winner’s name, at least not in the Oscar. I also really like the decor used during this year’s Oscar, the billboard outlook reminds people the magic of going to the movies.
There isn’t one person in that theatre that didn’t know how much that award meant to him. I love the visible support given by everyone around him. He really deserved that and I’m so happy for him
Ke's speech is the punchline of the entire show, there were lot of positive vibrations, unlike last year's Will Smith despicable act. Happy for Ke, this man didn't forget where he came from, he didn't hide his identity, he remembered what his mom sacrificed for him...well deserved award. Your story is inspirational to many people. The young generation should remember this, life is full of struggles, got to work hard to achieve your dream, dream doesn't fall from the sky, it doesn't happen when you seat at home playing video games or get obssed by social media all day long. The accceptance speech was absolutely second to none in term of emotion, honesty, heartfelt, unrehearsed... You touched thousands of people Ke.
Will Smith was not despicable, Chris Rock is despicable for making jokes for years about his wife and then joking about her hair when she lost it due to alopecia. That fool Chris Rock preceded to call her a b---h in his new Netflix show. Chris Rock is despicable and deserves that smack in his face. It’s a shame that he didn’t learn his lesson. Maybe he’ll get an even bigger smack someday soon.
This is probably the greatest and most genuine oscar speech of all time. I never once cared the way I do for this man winning. Amazing moment. One day your time will come.
Erm, the guy in the hat who handed him the Oscar was last year’s winner, Troy Kotsur. The first Deaf man to win (and only the second Deaf person to win an Oscar). That was also cool :).
Ke Huy Quan's emotional acceptance speech was truly moving, and a reminder of the power of film to unite us all. Congratulations to him on a well-deserved Oscar win!
I agree and it shows how he is not only happy but how grateful he is to everyone and everything he had gotten. Basically, he doesn’t take anyone or anything for granted.
Seeing Steven Spielberg in the audience you could see how unbelievably happy and proud he was of him! I've never cried at an Oscar's speech ever and I cried at this one!
@@Lommy9999 making movies... you're right though, only giving him his first role as a main character in a major movie is a slap in the face. probably due to racism.
What gets me is that he retired from acting for twenty years and in his first major role since returning to acting, he wins an Oscar for it. I haven't seen the film, but it shows just how much of an amazing actor he must be to go up against actors like Brendan Gleeson and Judd Hirsch, and win it instead of them.
Standing ovation was great but I think Ke was especially touched that Spielberg was giving him on ovation --- the man who was responsible for starting his acting career!
I'm not the type to cry much as a reaction to speeches. But this one was incredibly special and directly from his heart and soul. Congratulations Ke Huy Quan...you are so very special..and after all you've been through, you deserve this award in spades.
"Mom, I just won an Oscar!" I'm just thinking of all the asian american parents out there hearing their children's biggest goals and ambitions, and (at best) thinking to themselves how impossible it would be. I can't imagine what his 87 year old mama is feeling in this moment. And what a joyous moment as a child to be able to say this to your parent! I'm 31 now, and thinking maybe I should get back into music. Nothing's too late 🥺
Despite my contempt for Hollywood, this dude gave a great performance in a great movie and this genuinely made me cry. What a sweet guy, God bless him.
I haven’t watched Oscar for the last few years and his speech is the ONLY one I watched this year! So proud of him! Congratulations Ke Huy Quan! You’re totally deserved it 🏆
When spoke about his brother, who just calls him to check up on him and tells him to take care of himself. I couldn’t hold back the tears. What a great soul.
This speech broke my heart and then I met him outside the A24 party. He is so infectious and full of life and energetic. They wanted to pull him away and he ran back for me and it was dark and he goes ‘I need a light!’. 🤣 the purest soul!
*I cry whenever I watch this. The true appreciation and humbleness of this man touches my heart. He was patient, true to himself and never gave up hope. This was the best part of the night for me.* ❤
@B Babbich Well after that initial "lucky break" he mentioned being passed up over and over again because Hollywood just wasn't ready for Asian actors. I'd consider grappling with racial exclusion at the expense of your career a significant struggle, but that's just me Oh yeah just watched the vid - he also spent his first year *in a refugee camp*
@B Babbich just so you know even after filming EEAAO he lost his health insurance because he couldn’t reach the minimum requirements for the union for just any job!
Yes! Feels like this is why people love him and also love Pedro Pascal. They’ve worked so hard to achieve their dream, and it’s refreshing considering a large portion of Hollywood actors are « nepo babies. » It does not mean that they do not deserve credit either, just that these people are closer to us. They did not just enter the Hollywood family because of wealth or contacts, they entered because they waited at the door for years and knocked again and again and again.
And finally Michelle Yeoh! Only time I’ve geared up multiple times just because these 3 people that won last night, by all accounts, are great people and have gone through it to get where they are. Felt very satisfying seeing them rewarded for their perseverance.
This dudes so sweet. So genuinely happy. You never see genuine, true people or even appreciative people these days. He knew he wanted to get somewhere in acting, he went for it! And now award winner and he's crying. Not fake, showing genuine appreciation for his own achievement. Hes showing it outwards to all his hardwork, desires and to the ones who supported him, let him run for what he wanted and held him up going towards it. No criticism. He gives appreciation to Fans who enjoy his work to give recognition. All that made it possible for him to get to what he's wanted since, honestly idk how long he had his dream to do this but he did it. And it's refreshing, honestly, to see such satisfaction, appreciation, and gratitude for what he's been able to accomplish. He's just a sweet dude. I've only seen him in one show, (and I liked him alot in it) ima have to look up other stuff he's in.
It’s the fact that he almost gave up and they Daniel brothers called right before he did. He delivered one of the best performances I’ve ever seen, and for that, I am thankful. This story needed to be told.
His performance in “Everything Everywhere All At Once” was absolutely immaculate, and that undersells it. His performance goes beyond words. This was so well deserved.
As long as you believe in it, your time will come. Thank you Ke Huy Quan for this lifetime lesson. As a child of vietnamese refugees, your story moves me to the core.
@@edubbs3528 it gets complicated because Ke is of Hoa descent which is considered a minority group in Vietnam, so many Viets might not consider him one of their own? It's also telling that Ke's family settled in the Chinatown section of Los Angeles and not the "Little Saigon" area in south L.A. where most Viet refugees settled in the 80's.
I love how humble he was and gave credit to everyone that helped him along the way. At the end of the day, no matter how old you are, you always want to show and express to your mom (and/or dad) that big achievement in your life and by doing so, you act like a kid again. This guy is great.
"Gave credit to everyone that helped him along the way" would've been so much more meaningful had he -- or asians and latinos -- hinted at, even in the faintest or indirect way -- hollywood's racist 'whites only' barrier that was broken or perhaps shattered by risk taking and courageous African American artists who not only demonstrated courage and tenacity for themselves but who also helped pave the way for other (P0C) film actors in hollywood today..
I don't care who you are, where you came from, what you believe in...THIS DUDE...is the American Dream. The more we accept this, the better we will be as people, and as a nation.
Seconded. These are the people I believe in, these are my countrymen. The ones who struggle, the ones who try and believe in us even when we fail, and always and ultimately, the ones who love. I’m so proud of him. I’m so grateful for him. I wish we could all be like Ke Huy Quan.
@@codenamejulia2222 100% Those same people were my part Norwegian grandparents, my part English great-great grand parents before them, and my part African great-great grand parents before them. Americans today just look at their skin and say "If you aren't like me...get out!" When in reality, we all share more racial traits deep down than we realize.
I don't think an oscar for best supporting actor was ever as deserved as this one. The daniels wrote this "supporting role" that had higher demands than most leading roles and he was absolutely brilliant in it. And this moment and his speech is so authentic and raw and real, you just have to love it.
I love love love his acceptance speech! Love how the presenter everyone in the audience was so overjoyed at him winning. His acknowledgement of his mom, so heart touching. Tears running down my eyes, so overjoyed for him. Can just feel what it means to him in my soul.
Asians in general have long struggled to break into Hollywood or get roles beyond extras and small, stereotype roles. I wont try to speculate as to why but it seems pretty clear that the struggle is real.
@@bendoan98 He's a character actor. There's nothing wrong with it. Woody Allen was such an actor who played nerdy roles and it served him well. What's your problem? and what have YOU accomplished?
His raw emotions by just accepting this award made me CRY tears of joy for him. I've not seen a person who was so excited to not only be there but win!!! And him thanking his mom got me in the heart. 😭🥺💖 What a sweet man, well deserved win!!!
It's very touching. Congrat Ke, you really inspired me. I can see your passion when you adress this speech. One day, my time will come, I will keep my dream alive as you said.
@@asageaspa the facted he thanked Jeff Cohen (who was the other Thee Goonies actor who gave up acting for the lack of roles and also ended up working on Hollywood behind the cameras) was already cool enough.
@@rafaellima83 Totally! Jeff Cohen is a lawyer in Hollywood and negotiated all of Kes contracts and that is amazing! As a Goonies fan I love all of it! Good vibes to everyone!
I’ve never watched an Indiana Jones film, and much less heard of this man. But that speech… and that humility… it broke me. You deserve this Ke Huy Quan. You certainly became an inspiration. I hope some day I can say just like that “Mom, I just won an Oscar!”
Hey, the Indiana Jones films are on my list! 😂 I will watch them eventually! But thanks for the feedback and the recommendations! Now I get more excited to watch them!
This is one of the most humble, innocent, pure and wholesome acceptance speeches ever. So lovely to see such down-to-earth people win such special awards like this. Very well deserved.
His emotional speech is genuine & hits hard. As a fellow Asian, it's nice to see some recognition! My dads name is David & he checks me too. Mental health is important. Never give up!
@DeanSearle She said as a fellow Asian, it's nice to get some recognition. Ke Huy Quan was recognised for his acting talent, not for being Asian. His race had nothing to do with it.
Jonathan ke quan aka short round deserves this award. He’s a great actor never given the chance to truly prove himself. I’m glad he finally got the chance. This made me shed a tear.
Jonathan isn't really his name. He talked about how he was told to take up a more American name to try to get more opportunities and felt bad he was giving up his birth name for it. That's why it was important for him to return to his birth name for this role.
I love this man. I don’t know how there were so many people in the audience just staring stone faced at him during his speech. I was smiling the whole; what a humble and sincere man, and so well deserving l
The only speech that ever brought me to tears. Not because it was sad but because I believe him when he says I almost gave up on mine, never let go of your dreams ❤
This is by far the most beautiful and genuine speech I have ever heard 🥰🙏🏼transparency is everything. People in Hollywood should really try it more often.
the fact that all of them stand when he won and even the mc got a shivering voice when she said his name means that he TRULY DESERVES IT. i wish nothing for him but for him to get all of the happiness in this world and i hope more opportunities will come for him cause i would love to see him more in the screen.
I actually met him in person at a small comic con convention in Wrexham a few years ago, literally just walked right up to his signing table, chatted about Indiana Jones, had a selfie and autograph from him as well, he was so gentle and humble, now he's a friggin' OSCAR WINNING ACTOR!!
He is currently living one of the best versions of himself on the multiverse

Theres no greater story to tell than the comeback.

He deserved it! He said in an interview that he waited 25 years for another role in Hollywood. And here he is holding an Oscar.
So how did he deserve it seeing he hasn't developed his craft in the past decades? Unlike Brendan Gleeson for example

Warms my heart.
He reminds me of Roberto Benigni, these two amazing people getting the recognition they deserve.
@@rubenbarrera7338 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Warms my heart. That's accurate 🥹
@@007Julie Googling.
Despite my contempt for Hollywood, this dude gave a great performance in a great movie and this genuinely made me cry. What a sweet guy, God bless him.
I didn't expect this year's academy awards to be this wholesome. This and Brendan Fraser's acceptance speech really made my day 😄
It was the "Year of the Comeback" at the Oscars and it felt genuine and heartfelt --- especially after that disgusting slap-fest of last year LOL
He deserves everything and everywhere.
All at once
In every universe.
part 1, part 2, part 3
In this life, and in another.
I haven’t watched Oscar for the last few years and his speech is the ONLY one I watched this year! So proud of him! Congratulations Ke Huy Quan! You’re totally deserved it 🏆
This is def the best comeback of all time in cinema history. The guy hadnt found acting work in 20 years and his first job back he wins the oscar!
He's lying.
@@vade137 ?
@@vade137 🤡
No acting work because he's a HACK ACTOR.
Hater🤑 he won an Oscar while your here hating ahhaahha
When spoke about his brother, who just calls him to check up on him and tells him to take care of himself. I couldn’t hold back the tears. What a great soul.
“Please, keep your dreams alive” 😭😭😭😭❤❤
Well!! Normally I don't pay that much attention to the Oscars, but I am seriously crying right now because this is the best!
because they snubbed Brendan Gleeson who's been actively acting at the highest leven for decades?
@@westerling8436 OHHH NOO STOP THIS! SHE'S CRYING!!! the amount of people i've seen who have written they're crying.. unbelievable.
I really love how the presenter was choking up when she announced. She was rooting for him!
She did the thing
She is last years Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress, Ariana DeBose. She played Anita in Spielberg's version of _West Side Story_ .
@Ryan lex yeah because Asians have won soooo often 😒
That was a very beautiful moment, I cannot stop re-watching it!
@@Ryanlexz yeah you’re a fool
The one Oscar that actually made me tear up. He deserves the world.
I never cared for these speeches but he's so genuinely grateful and emotional about it that I teared up with him. Such a sweet guy
Same
Same here!! Lol I was like hold on is that tears coming from my eyes
This speech broke my heart and then I met him outside the A24 party. He is so infectious and full of life and energetic. They wanted to pull him away and he ran back for me and it was dark and he goes ‘I need a light!’. 🤣 the purest soul!
Love this! 🥰
Did you really meet him after the Oscars?
I was there to witness this. This man is just amazing!
@@kerzytibok3211 yes. He’s holding the oscar in our picture.
*I cry whenever I watch this. The true appreciation and humbleness of this man touches my heart. He was patient, true to himself and never gave up hope. This was the best part of the night for me.* ❤
Wow I love your post and what you share on here, You seem like a nice woman.
I love seeing moments like this happen for people who struggle just to make their dreams come true. Props and salute to him.
@B Babbich exactly, he was sold to Spielberg as a kid and it’s so naive for people to think this is a real thing miraculous win
@B Babbich Well after that initial "lucky break" he mentioned being passed up over and over again because Hollywood just wasn't ready for Asian actors. I'd consider grappling with racial exclusion at the expense of your career a significant struggle, but that's just me
Oh yeah just watched the vid - he also spent his first year *in a refugee camp*
@B Babbich just so you know even after filming EEAAO he lost his health insurance because he couldn’t reach the minimum requirements for the union for just any job!
Yes! Feels like this is why people love him and also love Pedro Pascal. They’ve worked so hard to achieve their dream, and it’s refreshing considering a large portion of Hollywood actors are « nepo babies. » It does not mean that they do not deserve credit either, just that these people are closer to us. They did not just enter the Hollywood family because of wealth or contacts, they entered because they waited at the door for years and knocked again and again and again.
Probably one of the best oscars in history. We got brendan and ke-huy, truly a spectacle of perseverance and determination.
And finally Michelle Yeoh! Only time I’ve geared up multiple times just because these 3 people that won last night, by all accounts, are great people and have gone through it to get where they are. Felt very satisfying seeing them rewarded for their perseverance.
This dudes so sweet. So genuinely happy. You never see genuine, true people or even appreciative people these days. He knew he wanted to get somewhere in acting, he went for it! And now award winner and he's crying. Not fake, showing genuine appreciation for his own achievement. Hes showing it outwards to all his hardwork, desires and to the ones who supported him, let him run for what he wanted and held him up going towards it. No criticism. He gives appreciation to Fans who enjoy his work to give recognition. All that made it possible for him to get to what he's wanted since, honestly idk how long he had his dream to do this but he did it. And it's refreshing, honestly, to see such satisfaction, appreciation, and gratitude for what he's been able to accomplish. He's just a sweet dude. I've only seen him in one show, (and I liked him alot in it) ima have to look up other stuff he's in.
It’s the fact that he almost gave up and they Daniel brothers called right before he did. He delivered one of the best performances I’ve ever seen, and for that, I am thankful. This story needed to be told.
His performance in “Everything Everywhere All At Once” was absolutely immaculate, and that undersells it. His performance goes beyond words. This was so well deserved.
im gonna watch this movie agan!
@@dirkdiggler2379 I think I will have to, not only because it was incredibly bizarre, but because its hard to take in everything in one viewing.
He’s so talented! Hopefully this means we’ll get to see him in lots more movies. What a sweet guy.
As long as you believe in it, your time will come. Thank you Ke Huy Quan for this lifetime lesson. As a child of vietnamese refugees, your story moves me to the core.
Same here! I’m also a child of Viet refugees and your comment moved me to the core
in fact he is Chinese
@@VKat I'm not a child of Viet refugees, but both your comments moved both my cores.
@@edubbs3528 it gets complicated because Ke is of Hoa descent which is considered a minority group in Vietnam, so many Viets might not consider him one of their own? It's also telling that Ke's family settled in the Chinatown section of Los Angeles and not the "Little Saigon" area in south L.A. where most Viet refugees settled in the 80's.
I cried when Ke Huy Quan won. He deserved to win. The Everything Everywhere All at Once cast made so so proud to be Asian American. Congrats guys!
Alongside proudness im excited and pleased with him
What was so amazing about his performance?
@@BJD124 Mr Short Round in Indiana Jones 2 and The Goonies.
@@BJD124 Did you watch the movie he won for?
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I have yes. And i thought it was complete nonesense..
You can just tell by how everybody reacted, that Key is a fantastic guy and loved this moment for him.
The way she announced his name is the way I felt hearing it. Seriously so touching...
I love how humble he was and gave credit to everyone that helped him along the way. At the end of the day, no matter how old you are, you always want to show and express to your mom (and/or dad) that big achievement in your life and by doing so, you act like a kid again. This guy is great.
"Gave credit to everyone that helped him along the way" would've been so much more meaningful had he -- or asians and latinos -- hinted at, even in the faintest or indirect way -- hollywood's racist 'whites only' barrier that was broken or perhaps shattered by risk taking and courageous African American artists who not only demonstrated courage and tenacity for themselves but who also helped pave the way for other (P0C) film actors in hollywood today..
Astounding that he gave up on acting for like 20 years came back and won and oscar, and it's so well deserved too, what a great performance.
I don't care who you are, where you came from, what you believe in...THIS DUDE...is the American Dream. The more we accept this, the better we will be as people, and as a nation.
So very true!
Seconded. These are the people I believe in, these are my countrymen. The ones who struggle, the ones who try and believe in us even when we fail, and always and ultimately, the ones who love.
I’m so proud of him. I’m so grateful for him. I wish we could all be like Ke Huy Quan.
@@codenamejulia2222 100% Those same people were my part Norwegian grandparents, my part English great-great grand parents before them, and my part African great-great grand parents before them. Americans today just look at their skin and say "If you aren't like me...get out!" When in reality, we all share more racial traits deep down than we realize.
What do you mean the American Dream? He went back to his country because the roles they offered in the states were all stereotypes.
Lol
I don't think an oscar for best supporting actor was ever as deserved as this one.
The daniels wrote this "supporting role" that had higher demands than most leading roles and he was absolutely brilliant in it.
And this moment and his speech is so authentic and raw and real, you just have to love it.
I love love love his acceptance speech! Love how the presenter everyone in the audience was so overjoyed at him winning. His acknowledgement of his mom, so heart touching. Tears running down my eyes, so overjoyed for him. Can just feel what it means to him in my soul.
So happy to see him win, so deserved and shame on Hollywood for not giving him more roles
I’ve been saying for years he steals everything he’s in
There aren't that many nerd roles.
@@honkymonkey9568 What have you accomplished with this comment?
Asians in general have long struggled to break into Hollywood or get roles beyond extras and small, stereotype roles. I wont try to speculate as to why but it seems pretty clear that the struggle is real.
@@bendoan98 He's a character actor. There's nothing wrong with it. Woody Allen was such an actor who played nerdy roles and it served him well. What's your problem? and what have YOU accomplished?
What an incredible journey this wonderful man has been on, congratulations to him for showing true faith.
Amen! Humility, gratitude and faith.
YEEEESSS!!!! Well deserved!!! Just how he graciously accepted his award brought tears of joy to my eyes!
Thanks for the love ❤
He’s always genuine, not afraid to be humble and to cry.
Ke Huy Quan rose like a phoenix to dazzle us all, and his return has been mythologically spectacular. His sincerity always brings tears to my eyes.
His wife is absolutely gorgeous. Hes a refugee from Vietnam and I have had a crush on him every since Indians Jones . He made that movie iconic.
His raw emotions by just accepting this award made me CRY tears of joy for him. I've not seen a person who was so excited to not only be there but win!!! And him thanking his mom got me in the heart. 😭🥺💖 What a sweet man, well deserved win!!!
he’s so cute im genuinely bawling my eyes out
It's very touching. Congrat Ke, you really inspired me. I can see your passion when you adress this speech. One day, my time will come, I will keep my dream alive as you said.
GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!!! so happy he won. much deserved!
OMG if he ended his speech with GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!!!!! I would have died. He was the best in Goonies and TOD. Love him!!
@@asageaspa the facted he thanked Jeff Cohen (who was the other Thee Goonies actor who gave up acting for the lack of roles and also ended up working on Hollywood behind the cameras) was already cool enough.
@@rafaellima83 Totally! Jeff Cohen is a lawyer in Hollywood and negotiated all of Kes contracts and that is amazing! As a Goonies fan I love all of it! Good vibes to everyone!
I grew up in the 1980s. I’m so proud of Short Round!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'll bet his fellow Goonies cast members are so proud of him
You can't watch his speech without a teary eye, well deserved.❤️
Very true 🥺
Not a teary eye here - it was more like a torrent.
Definitely put a tears in my eye! “Keep your dream alive” what a inspiration incredible message!!! God bless you my friend!! Amazing achievement!!
The feel-good Oscars. So many comebacks and well-deserved recognition after years of neglect.
@@Ryanlexz Troll
I’ve never watched an Indiana Jones film, and much less heard of this man. But that speech… and that humility… it broke me. You deserve this Ke Huy Quan. You certainly became an inspiration. I hope some day I can say just like that “Mom, I just won an Oscar!”
Never watched an Indiana Jones film? You are henceforth banned from planet earth.
🙃 Wow, you're missing out! I highly recommend only the first 3 Indiana Jones films.
And Goonies
Hey, the Indiana Jones films are on my list! 😂 I will watch them eventually! But thanks for the feedback and the recommendations! Now I get more excited to watch them!
@@007IloveNYplease reconsider! They’ve been on my list for a while!
This is one of the most humble, innocent, pure and wholesome acceptance speeches ever. So lovely to see such down-to-earth people win such special awards like this. Very well deserved.
His emotional speech is genuine & hits hard. As a fellow Asian, it's nice to see some recognition! My dads name is David & he checks me too. Mental health is important. Never give up!
agreed! i’m asian as well as this story hits me so hard. such a beautiful win for the asian community.
He won an Oscar for his acting talent, not for his race.
@@lara_young What are you doing?
@DeanSearle She said as a fellow Asian, it's nice to get some recognition. Ke Huy Quan was recognised for his acting talent, not for being Asian. His race had nothing to do with it.
@@DeanS946 Right?! Sounds like someone is a hater. He did deserve that win, well over-do!
Jonathan ke quan aka short round deserves this award. He’s a great actor never given the chance to truly prove himself. I’m glad he finally got the chance. This made me shed a tear.
Hey, Dr. Jones. No time for love! We've got company!
Jonathan isn't really his name. He talked about how he was told to take up a more American name to try to get more opportunities and felt bad he was giving up his birth name for it. That's why it was important for him to return to his birth name for this role.
@@RiamsWorldreally? I thought he changed it because he got older and wanted a fresh start
Best Oscar speech ever. Completely authentic, no preaching, just pure, raw emotion and gratitude.
I love this man. I don’t know how there were so many people in the audience just staring stone faced at him during his speech. I was smiling the whole; what a humble and sincere man, and so well deserving l
There was a lot of Botox in that room, lol. Their faces can't move.
When the presenter cried when she read out his name. That did it for me
Ariana DeBose.
I'm so happy, he deserves this award so much. His performance was breathtaking. He truly is a master of his craft.
One of the best speeches in Oscar history.
I just finished watching Everything Everywhere All At Once. He absolutely killed this role, had me crying multiple times. So well deserved!!!😭😭💕💕💕💕🥰🥰
"Mom I just won an Oscar" 😭
The only speech that ever brought me to tears. Not because it was sad but because I believe him when he says I almost gave up on mine, never let go of your dreams ❤
I come to this video multiple times a day just to cry tears of happiness
This is by far the most beautiful and genuine speech I have ever heard 🥰🙏🏼transparency is everything. People in Hollywood should really try it more often.
any grown man who still gets excited to show his mum he did a good job...that always gets to me. Good stuff
the fact that all of them stand when he won and even the mc got a shivering voice when she said his name means that he TRULY DESERVES IT. i wish nothing for him but for him to get all of the happiness in this world and i hope more opportunities will come for him cause i would love to see him more in the screen.
I actually met him in person at a small comic con convention in Wrexham a few years ago, literally just walked right up to his signing table, chatted about Indiana Jones, had a selfie and autograph from him as well, he was so gentle and humble, now he's a friggin' OSCAR WINNING ACTOR!!
Oh?! In Wales?? Lovely country!!
Let's protect Ke Huy Quan at all cost. Pure and genuine guy. ✨❤️
He's so real, so humble and full of gratitude. That little boy in Indiana Jones is still in him. ♥
There is nothing better than watching people who are SO INCREDIBLY APPRECIATIVE and have NO IDEA they’re going to win, win this award. SO INSPIRING.❤
I love this man. Hands down the most wholesome and heartfelt speech I've ever watched!
