- FULL SPEECH: Ke Huy Quan had mostly disappeared from Hollywood for over two decades, dispirited by the lack of on-camera work for Asian Americans. He returned in a big way, winning the supporting actor Oscar to cap an inspiring comeback story. #oscars

Possibly the best moment in Oscars history. Dude went to China just to get any kind of work in film. Didn't have a movie credit of any kind for 20 years! Just AMAZING.
And Luck.
@@fromis.9 you’re a clown
The fact that he has a fat accent didn’t help. The same goes for any Nationalities regardless of colors. If you have a French or Italian accent and you are white, it will be extremely difficult to make it in Hollywood.
@@kashmiralarcon3950 being clown is better than being a liar like yourself
@@awesomereviews1561 unless you're a supremely hot girl, then you can always be in a Bond movie or something.
Imagine being an actor and not being given a role for 3 decades because of your ethnicity, then later winning an Oscar for the first acting gig you do. Man, Hollywood really failed this man
Any positive change, even small, is a move forward.
It helps when everyone want diversity and he look like Jackie chan
@@fromis.9 that´s the exact pulsture that left this man without a chance for so long.
@@bdanieltube and every other man, and others have moved on for a better sustaining career. While he cling on the slimmest of luck.
@@fromis.9wow
The presenter chocked as well but very heart felt
I think she must have seen the movie and really loved Waymond Wang! If I had been in her place, I may have choked up, too.
So, it was because the actor himself has had a rough time despite his talents. He’s been through it.
Her reaction when she saw his name on in the envelope...that got me. Bendita❣
So touching moment
What's their connection? Did seem very heartfelt 😢
The fact he wasn't in many movies but he is so memorable from just The Goonies and Indiana Jones, says ALOT. I am so glad he won, and he deserved this!!
Absolutely! I don't follow movies, I had no idea it was the same guy who played short round until I actually was watching. I've only seen those movies once, and even I recognized him decades later. What an incredible story!
And Encino man with Brendan Fraser! 🥰
Sometimes I still say "Okee Dokee Dr. Jones. Hold onto your potatoes" his quote from Indiana Jones when Im peeling potatoes
@@shaniadirstein3650 Hahahaha SO DO I!! My dad and I always say it. That was mine and his favorite movie to watch together growing up. 😂 Love this!
the character arc he brought to life in eeaao is one if the most important in cinematic history
I'm a child of the 80s and this makes me so amazingly happy. This guy is ICONIC!!!
He really is…
Same here, Temple of Doom was my first Indiana Jones Movie. I remember it well- at my cousin’s house, plug the betamax in and played this- terrified the heck out of us with the heart beating scene! Good times! lol! I am very happy for him.
Yep
im one of the 90s and cried 😭
Goodies pals is strong still.
I think its safe to say that without a doubt that he has the greatest comeback in Hollywood history.
His life should be in a movie its so good, the message of his life is so impactful.
Him and Brendan Fraser who were both in a movie together 31 years ago, amazing story
What I really want to happen with him (and with many others) is that Hollywood actually offers him substantial roles in A-list films regularly. One of the still sadly unexplored frontiers in Hollywood's recent strides when it comes to diversity is accents (actors with non-European, non-Anglo accents making it big in the States). Hollywood needs to write more stories about interesting, compelling, complex characters who happen to be fully Asian, Hispanic, Appalachian (not __________-American), and many groups that we rarely see in movies on a regular basis.
Gotta love this guy, And he got it from a role he played perfectly.
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.
Yes, Viva Putin 🤩🤩
I loved Ke Huy Quan in EEAAO, but don’t exaggerate. Ever heard of Christoph Waltz, in IB?
Great words from heart. I so like it.
@@JuanCarlos-kb2nu Thank you for demonstrating that education is still not where it should be in this day and age.
People like you shouldn't be left behind the way that you are.
Very well said!! And actually-at first I thought it was a LEADING ROLE! ❤
I literally teared up. No one deserved it more.
Truly he has long been denied what has been rightfully has. Hopefully this is only the very beginning for him and that there will be many more blessings like this.
Welcome back, king. 👑👑👑👑
@@VicenzoV he was never cast in any movie because he was asian, mainly. Racist much?
@@VicenzoV I'm not talking about the Oscar.
@@VicenzoV how was he annoying in Temple of Doom --- he was literally the funniest part of that movie
And the award for best Oscar acceptance speech goes to...
I'm guessing Will Smith, but let's see who else is on the fight card.
Roberto Benigni :)
A pure tear-jerker speech. Made me teary -eyed. He deserves it.
When I get emotional, I fap.
@@uchicago7851 oh.
@@uchicago7851 nobody needed to know that
Nice to see person that is a real human being acknowledged.
No politics, no BS just genuine gratitude and joy. How refreshing.
So happy when Ke won. I cried during his speech, then his interview saying "Never forget where you came from, because if you forget that, all humility goes out the window" so powerful message.
You can tell everyone was so happy and uplifted by Ke’s oscar win. We must protect him at all cost people! Congrats Ke☺️💐
Ke is a national treasure at this point --- should be protected by govt. agents
This is Gen X at our finest. 3 decades, but we never give up.
This might be the most wholesome Oscar speech of all time, him and Fraser bring the feels.
Kinda blows minds that two guys in a goofy movie like "Encino Man" both got Oscars!
Way to go Short Round! We had a Temple of Doom reunion tonight...Ke Huy Quan, Harrison Ford, Spielberg and Kate Capshaw. Quan's acceptance speech and him hugging Harrison Ford brought tears to my eyes. This was a great Oscars!
I didn't see Ford. Was he in this clip?
@@darklordmordred Yeah. I just saw. Didn't thank Harrison or Spielberg during his Oscar speech. Bit of an oversight, I think.
Seeing Harrison and Ke hugging it out onstage made my 80's youth feel alive again!
I love this man... So real and heartwarming. Seeing him jumping around, hugging and kissing, acknowledging and remembering everyone who played and helped him along the way. A great vibe of positivity all around!!! Amazing...SO HAPPY FOR HIM!!!
"Indy! Cover your heart! Cover your heart!"
"Too late, kid. It's already overflowing."
As a former teenager of the 80s....this was SO WELL deserved for Ke Huy Quan. MAJOR CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I’m a 28 year-old aspiring entertainment journalist and supporting actor with Cerebral Palsy. I want to book work for Pepsi commercials and family movies like Ghostbusters 3: Afterlife, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, and Toy Story. Seeing Ke achieve his resurgence rise to fame by winning an Oscar at just 51 years old gives me a sense of peace and confidence. Nobody ever failed at life because they didn’t achieve their dreams by the time they were 23 years old. I earned my Associate’s Degree from Massasoit Community College when I was 25 years old. I’ve finished 16 acting classes in 6 years and I’m currently 89% done with my Bachelor’s Degree in Film and Video Arts Production from Bridgewater State University. I'm glad I heard Ke's story to make sure that I didn't underestimate the value of how honesty and time will prevail and how there's no age limit on our dreams. Being persistent, dedicated, and firm about my career is what makes it all worth the wait. Congratulations to Ke Huy Quan!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ke Huy Quan made Oscar special … again
OMG YES!!!!! The only Oscar I cared about because I’m so happy he won!!!
me too. made my whole day♡♡♡
I want to hug him he’s so sweet omg
If u didn't know Jeff Cohen is Chunk from the goonies 🥺 I love that their friendship has stood the test of time.
He’s the sweetest guy ever, well deserved!!❤
The way I cried for him. I do not normally get into award shows but this was well-deserved.
I have watched this so many times, and will continue to do so. I didn't even know who Ke was, and haven't see his film!! I only watched the Oscars this year because I heard about Michelle Yeoh being nominated and as an AA, I watched just for that reason. I am so happy for Michelle and the whole cast, but this guy, Ke Huy Quan....his enthusiasm, his genuine, heartfelt sense of gratitude....he's like a little boy in a man's body....and even though I haven't seen the film, and I didn't know who he was, I KNOW WHO HE IS NOW!!!!! And my heart is just bursting with joy for him, and I cried like a baby!!! The MOST moving, sincere, heartfelt speech....I could hear all the decades of disappointment, rejection, pain and hurt in this man's voice....thru his tears of joy.....I'm going to see the movie!!! Because of Ke!!!!! 🌟👏👊🌟❤🔥🔥💥❤🔥
He made me tear up! He deserves that Oscar and many more to come!
I love this. Growing up as a kid in 80's, he was the ONLY person in film or television that I could remotely identify with. (My friends called me Short Round) Even though I am Filipino, this feels like a win for any and all Asian American's who have been looking for distinguished representations of themselves in entertainment for decades. Congrats Ke Huy Quan.
Yes the times are your you Deserved that "Data"
I was 2 years old when I first heard this guy screaming "Dr. JONES!!!!" I even started calling my Dad Dr. Jones. This is really the Comeback Oscars after last year's disaster. Bravo Ke Huy Quan👏👏
Such a beautiful, heartfelt moment! Made the Oscar worth watching! Absolutely love this man!!
I remember watching indiana jones and the temple of doom when I was little and feeling so excited to see another asian kid in an american movie 😭 I didn’t even realize that was him. ke huy quan fr deserves this win, he has so much talent and worked so hard to get where he is. CONGRATULATIONS.
I'm soooo glad for his Óscar and Fraser's. They are such good men and they deserve this and more.
Thank you to the presenters and the crowd for all the more enhancing this fantastic moment!! This has to go down as one of the greatest moments in Oscar history!
Even if the award is superficial, his reaction love and passion for it is truly inspiring
King of the world right there. Things like this happen so rarely. So glad for him. He won! He won everything!
hes like the nicest person ever, so happy for him
I can't stand Hollywood or the Oscars. But this really put a smile on my face. Well done data.
Ke huy quan deserves every single bit of success, this speech was the best speech I,ve ever heard from any actor I hope he gets more oscars for his other upcoming movies.
He doesn't want any more Oscars --- just good acting roles, and something tells me he will get a lot of them now
The vibes were sooooo high tonight ❤
Two months later -- and this moment and his speech is just as powerful. This video clip will be watched by people for decades to come. This -- THIS -- is how you accept an award people. 😁👍
He's rejected from Hollywood for 20 years because of ethnicity, he comes back and he's part of the best film of 2022 (and my personal favorite of all time)... Oh, and he also wins and Oscar! Now that's a great Hollywood story!!!
What a beautiful moment. I’m glad he won.
I hope this is only the start of a new& beauftiful chapter for him. ♡♡♡
This is a moment of all moments
He is perfection - love, purity, and light
Ke was amazing in this role. I cannot wait to see more movies starring Ke! Thank you to the Daniels for being so brave and bringing us this masterpiece! Thank you to the Oscar’s, for getting it RIGHT! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
*_OSCARS SO YELLOW_*
For what movie he won the Oscar?
I am so happy for him ! This must be encouraging all the foreign born actors with accent. His stunt with funny comedic and serious drama acting was so great !!! Congrats !!!!
OK. I seldom cry during speeches, but just couldn't help it with this one! One of the best speeches ever! Totally from the heart!
Two great actors from my childhood got the recognition they deserved Ke Huy Quan and Brendan Fraser. Two beautiful souls and amazing actors. This makes me very happy.
I love this so much for him! That speech is something made for legend. Such a powerful story to share, and such a hard fought road to get here.
I cried when he won. Tears of joy
When he said his journey started in a refugee camp, I felt it. There are so many people who started with absolutely nothing, and they somehow managed to make a way for themselves. I deeply admire them for their resilience and for their dedication and commitment to their families. Peace.
Beyond well deserved!!! He needs roles given to him like there is no tomorrow!!! I'm so happy for him and "Everything Everywhere All At Once" was a perfect movie 10/10!! he along with the rest of the cast deserved every bit of the success!!!! Very Humble!!! I balled my eyes out at the end of the movie!! I also recall seeing him in this rountable talk type channel with different topics and other stars around the subject matter and you can just hear this man's gentle and resilient humility!!! 🔥👏🙌
What a beautiful speech. Best part of this was getting to see the version of the multiverse where Waymond became successful and wore a tux!
0:32 Spielberg looks so proud! 😊😊
'Every rejection, every disappointment has let you here to this moment. Don´t let anything distract you from it' ~ Waymond
I’m crying like a baby! When he mentioned his mom, I lost it.
Oh my God i am crying , he deserves this and so humble
He is such a sweetheart 🥺❤️ I hope he gets to open the eyes of Hollywood, he’s simply an amazing human being ❤
I am crying with him. Happiness
He is such a genuine person, you can see and feel every little emotion he’s feeling through the screen😭♥️
YOU MADE ME CRIED ONE MORE TIMES ...THE TALENTED HE HUY QUAN... CONGRATS..YOUR HARD WORKED PAID OFF AFTER 39 YEARS & YOUR BIGGEST DREAMS CAME TRUE ..THE MAGICAL MAGNIFICENT THRILLER EXCITING OSCARS NIGHT PUT YOU ON TOP OF THIS WILD WILD WORLD .BEST WISHES ALWAYS..
He still has the little kid voice! He's such a sweetheart xx congratulations
For older folks who watched Goonies/Temple of Doom, we just saw a beloved human get his props. The set up for me was Ariana Debose voice cracking to announce he won, i'm done. waterfalls activated.
My Heart is so full of Joy and Happiness for Him ❤️
Awe, this made me cry happy tears. Such a humble and grateful man. Well deserved Ke, be proud. 🥇🥇🥰🥰
A beautiful moment and Goonies never say die 💜👏🙏🙂
This was by far the best oscar-- walang bahid ng politika! It should be like that!!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I've never looked forward to the Oscars before and I am SO HAPPY that EEAAO swept! It 1000% deserved to as did it's actors. Ke Huy Quan is the sweetest man in the world and SO deserving.
What a beautiful feel good moment. Brought a tear to my eye. Well deserved Ke..congratulations
He deserves it so much. That movie was phenomenal, it’s very rare to get a gem like that movie.
He seems like a really nice person, good on him 👏✨
I am crying
Yes! Dreams do come true. Wow this year’s oscar is totally a feel-good show with everybody is happy with everyones winning.💐
Incredibly well deserved
I usually dislike these ceremonies but seeing the results this morning made me incredibly happy for him. His performance and character were amazing.
I love Ke. The movie was amazing and they deserve all the awards 🎉 Amazing to see someone who has missed out for so long get this award after trying so hard. Congrats to Ke!
my heart!!! im sososososososo happy for him
Congratulations Ke!! Well deserved Oscar, beautiful speech 👏👏👏❤
The speech made me cry!!
What nostalgia! His joy was a child's joy. And best of all, Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg were there to applaud him! The award was supporting, but it starred in the most beautiful moment of the event. "Keep your dreams alive!"
This feels like the 80s won an Oscar ! Goonies forever !
How touched speech he made.
Growing up in the 90's, my siblings and I would re-watch Temple of Doom, Goonies, and Encino Man (which he had very short moments in). We always loved Ke, never knowing his real name, just referring to him as Shorty or Data -- but he was our favorite character in each. Really happy to see this happen for him.
He was never in Encino Man. Fraser was in Enrico Man (or California Man, as known in some countries.)
@@uchicago7851 LOL Nicely done
@@uchicago7851 Ke was in "Encino Man" but his dialogue was limited
Congratulations, a proud son just won the Oscars. 👏👏🏆
Oscars rarely made me cry, but this was one of those moments! ❤
he's so sweet i'm gonna cry
This moment and Brendan Fraser's won his award was emotional fellings at night
An inspiration and fully deserved! Congratulations, Ke Huy Quan!❤️
Congratulations Short Round
he´s still in character ♥
Ke it so amazing. Love Ke. I'm so proud of him 👍
he Mom is so proud, and He was so genuine,
So happy for him that he won and achieved his success but even happier for him that he has such a loving and supportive family that never judged him and never gave up on him when nobody recognized him. A brother who calls him every day to tell him to take care of himself and his wife of 20+ years telling him every day that his time will come; these are amazing people, just as amazing as him. His wife is so beautiful, inside and outside. He's a very lucky man. So happy for him and so happy for his family.
Just the reaction of the presenter was enough to bring anyone to tears.
I was touched with his speech that I cried.
Amazing!!!!! I cried out of joy for Ke. Amazing amazing!
Crying!!! Congrats to this guy!
It definitely was a comeback evening.. He and Brendan Fraser. There couldn’t have been 2 more deserving people imo. Ke is so adorable..He’s as cute now as he was in Indiana Jones and The Goonies 😊
everything is possible in life never give up and never lose hope congratulation Ke Huy Quan, you deserve it.
