Ke Huy Quan’s American Dream

Ke Huy Quan’s  acceptance speech  for best actor in a supporting role for his performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Thank you. Thank you. My mom is 84 years old and she’s at home watching. Mom, I just won an Oscar! My journey started on a boat. I spent a year in a refugee camp. And somehow, I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage. They say stories like these only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it’s happening to me. This– this is the American dream. Thank you so much.
