I agree

Same

I love how that line was not rehearsed and lofty but just a son being grateful to his elderly Mom

100% 😭🙏

Your comment made me cry again ❤❤

teary eye wth a smile here..very genuine speech.full of passion,he deserves it🥰

👏👏😥😥

When I watched this a couple nights ago I was overcome with emotion when she was. So sweet.

she did it just to be bigger that the announcemnet, she is acting. big ego, classic stereotype

@@andy46197 yea because her acting clearly stole the moment from Ke. /s

@@wiggi0620 well you remembered her w your comment. So it worked towards you. Her emotion is clearly fake, a cliché

Find a therapist andy

Also I love how he goes to hug Michelle Yeoh. You KNOW she adopted him as her heckin acting son.

@@AimForMyHead81 Nobody asked...

@@AimForMyHead81 who touched you when you're kid?

his post when he won when he praised her for the presentation and the conversations they've had that have meant so much to him is pretty great :)

Unless I’m wrong (which I honestly probably am) that’s Arianna DeBose! I love Arianna DeBose. She’s so wonderful and cool!

Your comment made me shed a tear, you’re so right!

Underrated comment!!

Calm down my guy it’s make believe

Love this!

@@mister4tay568 Let people celebrate their favorite actor my guy

Same. What a wonderful and genuine speech and response. So happy for him.

Yup.

Really...you are so weak

Imagine lol Everything that man has ever wanted is infront of him and he didn’t forget his mother he just completed both lives in one night

Alright take it easy, Barry. My god

Exactly and many who are down on their luck should look to him for inspiration.

Goonies never say die!

Most child actors don't make it this far unfortunately

Thanks for the love ❤️

You inspire me!!

You inspired me ❤

Vietnam never fell, it's better than ever

So how did he deserve it seeing he hasn't developed his craft in the past decades? Unlike Brendan Gleeson for example

Ryan lex, i hope you’re joking.

hopefully not the last. if anyone, he deserved it all

@@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!

​@@Saiputera 💀

And don't forget Jennifer Coolidge!

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❤️

Theres no greater story to tell than the comeback.

they were even in encino man together!

Plus Harrison ford and Kate capshaw there too

Yup. The whole Temple of Doom crew was there to witness this awesome event. Good onya Short Round.​@@rokaanalzeer7148

😃 (Genuine laugh, my friends)

Same especially when I realized he’s my favorite goonie ❤😢 I sobbed tears of joy for him and for my Childhood memories

I was already crying lol

Me too😢

I’m crying heavily! Beautiful guy, well deserved

Yeah who was that

@@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

She was also an original Broadway cast member for Hamilton.

Yeah that is like the cherry on top for a perfect moment.

@@manningbartlett522 Angela Bassett also did the thing

I know what you're trying to say but can we not mention him anymore? Ugh he is such a buzzkill

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.

@@edub9930 How is he a buzzkill?

@@edub9930 sorry but Ke's tip is on your tongue and will be for a long time, so get used to it

​@@mysticheart1049 I guess she's talking about Will Smith?

And his wife who also co starred with Ke in the Indiana Jones movie.

​@@ED-gz4cg which Steven directed

John Williams behind Spielberg who wrote the "Short Round theme" for Key, is standing and clapping as well.

Steven could have given him work all those years. Where was he?

@@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.

His childhood lover ever

Not just his wife but he is grateful to everyone who helped him.

The fact she did really warmed my heart.

DeBose just redeemed herself after her infamous BAFTAs rap.

Agree with everything you said 💛💛💛

Julia Roberts when she read Denzel’s name.

That surprised me a lot...hard things that happen and the stories can have situations in common

Same here. And every time i watch it, still get teary eyed.

Thanks so much for the love ❤️

true its straight from the heart

😭😭😭

😢😢

Totally broke. Out of nowhere

I was hoping he would’ve also said: “Dr Jones! I won an Oscar” But in all seriousness… congrats Mr Quan for winning!

Still mommy's boy 😢❤

Didn't take long for the haters and their nonsense to appear....

@@Saiputera keep crying. He wasn’t the only Asian that won that night. About to be more in the future also 😆

@@startrekmaniac1701 don’t you have more repetitive spamming to do son?

he so deserved the award. as did Fraser.

@@ThatOpalGuy Fraser?! Kelcey grammar wasn’t up for a nomination! Blacks are not suppressed and the police are not targeting you

"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..

His name is Ke-Huy actually, just to make sure people won't be mistaken.

He's so very deserving. I'm happy he won.

This is the exact night in my life where I needed to hear this so my dream doesn’t die, even if just in my heart. I’m so happy and so proud of him.

He's babling about american dreams, while showing no respects and honour to other nominees who are also chasing their dreams, no humility whatsover

@@Irishb0y stay mad

Well said!

Wait till you see Best Actor. ;)

Tied with Brendan Fraser

Both he and fraser did it! both were on Encino man.

Brendan better

Ariana DeBose.

Yes me too.

Thanks so much for the love ❤️

Well he deserves it

This man radiates pure joy and humbleness! He is so lovely

There are some speeches that just break your heart. But this one was great.

well said

Not unless your will to satisfy the club... 🤣

Ke Huy Quan actually had a small role in Encino Man, one of Brendan Frasiers first movies.

He congratulated Brendan backstage and it was so wholesome -look it up if you haven’t seen it, it was also such a feel good moment 🥺

🙏💗🙏

FraSer!

@@jacksonwillbert1352 I think Ke only had a few lines in "Encino Man" --- his movie career was already drying up at that point

He truly is a manchild

He accomplished it, he was expecting a trophy for years

do it!!

Go for it!!!

cant imagine the rough path he has to endure on the way to this big stage. As an asian i can totally relate when he shows up at family dinner or his other asian moms chattering about how their sons become doctors or got into ivy leagues lolll So happy for Ke!!

No emotional damage meme. Good for that guy wins oscar as asian! History!

Its too late, work as a line cook instead 🐱

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 :).

😂 But your name is Dripworks

@@pohanahawaii does bullying others over their channel name help you feel better about yourself?

@@Quaker-tc8ue how is that bullying?

@@S0NAL_ you not understanding it is part of the problem. And thumbing up your own comment isn’t helping.

Totally!!

He is still Data and Short Round! So exuberant with a love for film! The GOAT Oscar win! When he hugged Dr. Jones on stage! Wow!

보자마자 눈물나왔다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 인정합니다

YESSSSSSSS!!! So Proud!!!

hold on to your potatoes!

I love his speech when he won that award, woo hoo

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.

The message from the movie is cursi and a lie, hopefully it gets forgotten

@martinjugolin2087 Why do you say so?

@@martinjugolin2087 lol what? You’re a little slow aren’t you 😂

Wow I love your post and what you share on here, You seem like a nice woman.

Bruh the American dream is dead. Like I love that he won, but we need to look around us pls.

@@franekkkkk You must be fun to be around.

@@franekkkkk the dream, like the cake, was always a lie.

American dream? It’s called a dream for a reason. Keep dreaming if you believe in that nonsense 🤣🤣🤣

@@9cross You must be inspiring to be around. No one with a brain would want to hang out with unintelligent people…

I can't decide who deserved it more last night; Ke with Best Supporting or Brendan with Best Actor

@@jblonar basically it was equally deserved. both performances were great.

The Oscars finally gave awards to actually deserving actors last night

@@ThatOpalGuy 100% agree

I started to tear up

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!

@@nathannicholson2933 he didnt retired thats the thing, he was trying to get back into cause Hollywood just didnt wanna cast him in anything. Until A24 gave him a chance

I was shocked, even when she emotionally said his name who is the Oscar winner.

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

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!

@@Saiputera yeah you’re a fool

He's so genuine. Which is rare in the entertainment industry. Warms my heart.

im gonna watch this movie agan!

I was there to witness this. This man is just amazing!

@@kerzytibok3211 yes. He’s holding the oscar in our picture.

Yup

Same

Same here!! Lol I was like hold on is that tears coming from my eyes

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.

All at once

In every universe.

part 1, part 2, part 3

In this life, and in another.

Thanks for the love ❤

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.

@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.

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

Alongside proudness im excited and pleased with him

What was so amazing about his performance?

@@jennykononenko2527 Mr Short Round in Indiana Jones 2 and The Goonies.

@@jennykononenko2527 Did you watch the movie he won for?

@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I have yes. And i thought it was complete nonesense..

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.

@@larson5383 Vietnamese of Chinese decent. Sort of like how his children would be considered American…

@@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.

How is his wife an amazing inspiration also? because she worked as a chinese translator on the movie?

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'll bet his fellow Goonies cast members are so proud of him

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?
