      @@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.

      Jonathan isn't really his name. He talked about how he was told to take up a more American name to try to get more opportunities and felt bad he was giving up his birth name for it. That's why it was important for him to return to his birth name for this role.

    Ke Huy Quan, if you're somehow reading this, you totally deserved this win. You essentially played three roles in one, and played them all as naturally as breathing. Hope this victory is followed by many others for you in the future.

    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
