      @@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!

The young generation should remember this, life is full of struggles, got to work hard to achieve your dream, dream doesn't fall from the sky, it doesn't happen when you seat at home playing video games or get obssed by social media all day long. The accceptance speech was absolutely second to none in term of emotion, honesty, heartfelt, unrehearsed... You touched thousands of people Ke.

I can't imagine what his 87 year old mama is feeling in this moment. And what a joyous moment as a child to be able to say this to your parent!

Hes showing it outwards to all his hardwork, desires and to the ones who supported him, let him run for what he wanted and held him up going towards it. No criticism. He gives appreciation to Fans who enjoy his work to give recognition. All that made it possible for him to get to what he's wanted since, honestly idk how long he had his dream to do this but he did it. And it's refreshing, honestly, to see such satisfaction, appreciation, and gratitude for what he's been able to accomplish. He's just a sweet dude.

    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.
