Ke Huy Quan gave the most inspiring acceptance speech at the SAG Awards

Ke Huy Quan looks like he’s on his way to an Oscar win for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Everything Everywhere All at Once co-star Ke Huy Quan made history on Sunday night.

Quan became the first Asian actor to win Best Supporting Actor at the Screen Actors Guild and will very likely become the second Asian actor to win in the same category at March’s Oscar ceremony.

The Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom standout has enjoyed a career resurgence with his deeply moving turn in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Barring a seismic upset, Sunday night’s SAG win will position Quan for an Academy Award.

His speech accepting his SAG Award was incredibly tender and might get you misty.

If that doesn’t move you, we’re not sure what will. Quan’s awards moment has been one of the more special for an actor in quite some time, and an Oscar win would be the absolute best way to cap it.

If you want to see more of Quan, he’ll be appearing in the Disney+ shows Loki and American Born Chinese later this year.

Jamie Lee Curtis had a delightful reaction to winning Best Supporting Actress at SAG Awards

Jamie Lee Curtis might now be an Oscar winner next month.

The Screen Actors Guild threw a fascinating wrench into awards season on Sunday night with its Best Supporting Actress category.

While Black Panther: Wakanda Forever actress Angela Bassett looked poised to cement her status as frontrunner for the Oscar, Everything Everywhere All at Once co-star and industry veteran Jamie Lee Curtis stunned with the victory.

It was her first Screen Actors Guild honor. The win also might be the indicator that Curtis will walk away with her first Oscar.

Since 2009, SAG’s Supporting Actress category has overlapped with the Oscars all but once. In 2018, Emily Blunt won for A Quiet Place in a category where eventual Oscar winner Regina King wasn’t nominated.

Curtis’ reaction to winning the award and ensuing speech were absolutely priceless.

While nothing is settled in stone for March’s Oscar ceremony, the momentum has shifted Curtis’ way and may stay there.

If Bassett still winds up taking home the Academy Award, she’d be the first-ever actress to win for a Marvel film. However, right now, it’s all coming up Laurie Strode.

Jenna Ortega, Aubrey Plaza hilariously present award together at SAG Awards

Someone get Jenna Ortega and Aubrey Plaza in the same project, ASAP.

If the Spider-Man pointing meme featured two of the most recognizable actresses in Hollywood, it was on display at Sunday night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.

While presenting one of the night’s categories, Wednesday star Jenna Ortega and The White Lotus star Aubrey Plaza surprised the crowd by joining each other on stage for a moment of absolute gold.

Ortega and Plaza have both made a name for themselves for their delightfully deadpan, meticulously macabre on-screen personas. The pair knowingly winked at the audience for how hilarious it was that they’d be giving out an award together.

Whether it’s starring in a Scream film (Ortega) or playing April Ludgate on Parks and Recreation (Plaza), the two draw easy comparisons and practically beg for someone to cast them together in a movie or television show.

As the SAG Awards transition to a new home at Netflix, moments like this will work wonders to get more people interested in the acting celebration.

But seriously, Hollywood, make this collaboration happen ASAP.
