Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis have just taken home the Oscars for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress at this year's 95th Academy Awards. Quan, 51, and Curtis, 64, won their prestigious prizes for their roles in the widely praised movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once. This year's Best Supporting Actor category has been one of the most highly-anticipated in recent years, having a range of both veteran and up-and-coming actors on the list of nominees. But the standout of the evening was surely Quan's momentous win and heartwarming speech.

"As I grew older, I started to wonder if that was it, if that was just luck. For so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer. No matter what I did, I would never surpass what I achieved as a kid," he said. "Thankfully, more than 30 years later, two guys thought of me. They remembered that kid, and they gave me an opportunity to try again. Everything that has happened since has been unbelievable," Quan added. His Oscars speech was no different, as he took the chance to thank his wife for supporting him behind the scenes for the past 20 years. In fact, the actor - who was born in Vietnam and spent a year in a refugee camp - revealed that his wife would tell him "every day" that his time was coming, and not to give up on himself. "Dreams are something you have to believe in," he said in his speech. And over to the women! Upon hearing her name read out as the winner of the Best Supporting Actress prize, Jamie Lee Curtis was stunned, and could be seen screaming "shut up!"

"My mother (Janet Leigh) and my father (Tony Curtis) were both nominated for Oscars in different categories," Curtis - a self proclaimed 'nepo baby' - said. Holding back tears, she then said: "I just won an Oscar!" Earlier this year, Quan stated in an interview with <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/02/27/1159291903/ke-huy-quan-everything-everywhere-all-at-once" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NPR</a> that he felt like his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once was written for him, telling the outlet: "When I read the script for the first time, I was overwhelmed with emotion, because it was a script that I wanted to read for many, many years. It was a role that I thought was written for me, and I was just so excited." He also spoke on his family's decision to move to the US from Vietnam, saying He added that he loved getting back into acting after 20 years, saying: "I felt whatever that was missing all those years. ... All of a sudden I felt like I was back where I needed to be." Well done to Quan and Curtis! <h6>Featured image credit: Matthew Horwood / Alamy</h6>
