I cannot believe it’s happening to me. This… this is the American dream.”
Quan also gave a shout-out to his wife, Echo, who he said had always believed in him. “Dreams are something you have to believe in,” he said. “I almost gave up on mine. To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive.”
Quan’s fellow nominees in the best supporting actor category included Brendan Gleeson for “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Brian Tyree Henry for “Causeway,” Judd Hirsch for “The Fabelmans,” and Barry Keoghan for “The Banshees of Inisherin.”
Overall, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was nominated for six Oscars and won three, including best original screenplay and best original score.
