… on his win for best supporting actor: “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 this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it’s happening to me. This – THIS – is the American dream
“Dreams are something you have to believe in. I almost gave up on mine. To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive. Thank you so much for welcoming me back.”

… on her win for best supporting actress: “To all the people who have supported me in all the genre movies I have made over the years, the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together! And my mother and father, who were both nominated for Oscars in different categories – I just won an Oscar!”
Michelle Yeoh
“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities. This is proof that dream big, and dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anyone ever tell you you are past your prime … thank you to the academy, this is history in the making.”
Your Own Creation
Everything Everywhere All At Once was the big winner of the night. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is an epic film with all the things that make movies magical. Heart, action, comedy, drama, complicated relationships. And what we love most about it, is the creativity!
People say that Hollywood is running out of original ideas, but we disagree and also believe you all are capable of creating something new! In your work as an actor, you have the opportunity to share with us all something new. A new way of storytelling. What story will you tell? How will you tell it? What creative voice will you share with the world?
You know we believe in you. Always. You got this.
