I'm just gonna say that the Oscars celebrated our 80s and 90s heroes - Brendan, Michelle, Ke and Jamie. Mummy, Indiana Jones, Crouching Tiger and Halloween defined some of our childhoods.
Crouching Tiger was 2000s
It was pretty cool.
@@jeffhodge7272 So True Funny how it seems🏆🙏🎃🐯⛵
💯!!!!
True Lies, Fish called Wanda
What an acceptance speech. When he looked directly into the camera and spoke to us to please keep our dreams alive. I felt that!
Danny Chu I cried 😢😢 also when he said that, because a lot of us give up on our dreams.
He gave in and gave up when he knew Hollywood wouldn’t want him to be in any roles. So he folded and worked behind the scenes in Asia. With luck with have it, he got bought back into Hollywood to give him one more opportunity. I am sure certain fat cats at Hollywood didn’t want to give him anything but others certainly remembered him and willing to give him a chance.
only in america
Yes, when I hear a voice crack holding back tears...I cry.
I was trying to keep it cool , just quietly wiping away a tear or two … then he did that & I lost it and just sobbed!!! The most magical Oscar moment ❤❤❤
Ke Huy Quan is so easy to love. His youthful energy even at 51 years old is endearing!
@No Name I don't see how that's bitching
He was just explaining why he got out of acting, he wasn't pleading poverty lol
The way he jump up and down when he with Harrison is sooo beautiful moment.. like he’s 12 years old again ❤️
Hearing Ariana just tear up and crack when she announces his name, gets me every time! Like she knew how hard it has been for him, and how genuinely happy she was for him to win!
Yep, it's definitely clear that she's been rooting for him
So touching.
@@niggarino666 Better than your nigga jealousy.
Yesss me tooooo
Yep--makes me cry too
As a child of the 80’s/90’s, who grew up watching him, I can honestly say that his comeback is nothing short of amazing! Welcoming back, Ke! We missed you!
At the moment i see him, i just ask myself: wtf? Why Jackie Chan wear a glass and cry? Anyway, i learn a biggest lesson from him: never give up, keep trying, someday you will become Jackie Chan.
When Ariana got choked up announcing Ke Huy's win; and when he is on stage and says "Mom! I won an Oscar" with so much pride and joy in his voice gets me every time I watch those clips of those two.
Ariana's emotion helped to create one of the greatest Oscar moments of all time.
He’s a beautiful man and his humility is a lesson to us all. He’s a brilliant actor and has earned every award he’s won. He’s made me cry at every acceptance speech.
Me too mate. It's a beautiful feeling to cry out of happiness. Such a special human being full of gratitude and exuding love. I felt his love and energy intensely just watching a clip on UA-cam. Powerful stuff
I don't think I have ever been happier for someone to win an Oscar. 👍👍👍
Me, too
Ke and Brendan made me so happy even though I didn't care about the Oscars anymore.
I also🎉
True, but I was definitely AS happy when Brendan won later on as well.
❤
Ke Huy Quan is a natural. We saw that in him when he was very young. He made his presence visible in the films. Glad to see he is back where he belongs.
I thought he was gonna have a big career in the 90s --- he was part of two huge films of the 80s (Temple of Doom and Goonies)
I don't think he knew how much the public loved and missed him. Everyone that grew up in the 80's loved that quirky kid ! So happy for him. Welcome back Ke.
Guarantee that in the 2000s you didn’t even give a thought about him
@@williewill1237 probably not when i was in my 20's, but later i did enjoy sharing those movies with my kids and thought whatever happen to him...
@@drpaine7428 well, you’re lucky that he still alive. Can you imagine if you would’ve thought of him earlier put yourself in his place and for us all stop being a left lunatic!
@@williewill1237 Thanks everyone for reminding me.. just booked my tickets to Everything Everywhere All At Once :)
@@williewill1237 What are you even trying to say. Slow down. Use your words and form a coherent sentance.
As a kid, he was an extraordinary natural actor in Indiana Jones and now he is such a delight to watch. Ke and Michelle just got the next-level chemistry in all of their scenes together. Bravo to both of them
I just saw that he and Michelle are going to be in a Marvel series. I am so watching it.
I didn't see it, the movie didn't lend itself to much acting. I think the awards were a woke statement.
Cant believe hes 51
@@robd1329 I was 11 years old when TEMPLE OF DOOM released in 1984. Ke is one year older than me.
@@shahrulamar5358 i was still 6yrs old when the movie came out. I didnt see it till later when i was 8 or 9yrs old when Goonies and Temple of Doom was on cable....all day..all month long. Its all we watched
The way he looked at the camera telling us to keep our dreams alive....it really felt like he was talking to me in person. The look and conviction in his eyes.
No he wasn't and most people that have dreams never get to have them realized not saying people should give up but he was lucky on so many levels honestly talent and hardworking only accounts for 10% to get to the level of these people the rest 90% luck...but because of stupid speeches that end with don't give up is why we have so many delusional people that don't make what they have in life work and let life past the by...
We all have dreams of grandeur and high hopes but for 99.99% that's all they will ever stay as is just that dreams of granduer.
@@risinggael1685 Great. Well done.
*Tears for his beautiful man with a beautiful spirit and a beautiful supportive wife. We*
*all love a great comeback story and this is a fabulous one!*
I grew up in the 80s and 90s and always thought there was something special about him in Indiana Jones and the Goonies. He was always my favorite in those movies! He's so cute and I loved his voice and the way he talked! I'm so happy for him!
Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love. CLASSIC!!
Best Oscar speech ever couldn't stop crying. Loved him as Short Round. Great little actor then and look at him now.
Inspiring. Just inspiring. Goonies fan here. I'm glad that Ke finally got his due in the acting world. He is more than deserving of that Oscar.
Best Oscars ever!!!1
Goonies fan here too 😁
Me too… He truly deserves it.
How much i hate there is no sequel Goonies after that.
@@timmychew6164 but thank god they haven't made a terrible woke reboot of it ... yet.
the thing i like ke the most is the sparkles in his eyes. he still looks like an optimistic yet innocent child.
Those last few seconds when he looks right at the camera and says about not forgetting your dreams. He was so heartfelt and real, I got chills.
Ngl it teared me up. I felt he spoke to me.
As a 90's kid ,I grew up watching, Ke,Michelle, Jamie Lee,and Brendan and witnessing them all winning an OSCAR is a dream come true.
I remember Key Huy Quan and so glad he brought himself back into the light of theater and he will continue to delight movie goers, it's just sad it took Harrison Ford 38 yrs to finally see him.
I wouldn't blame him. He's a star, there are tons and tons of people surrounding him that he had made special connections with. If he's to make time for each everyoneone of them, he would have no time.
@@terang5189 I'm just glad Harrison wasn't a grumpy dick to Ke when meeting him --- that would've been cringey as hell
And there's the fact he hadn't shared the screen with him since he was a child it's not that he had forgotten him he did make an impact since he recognized him in all those years away from the spotlight Harrison deserves a lot more credit for having him in his memory.
@@2kool4rock did you see Ford's reaction when he presented Best Picture? It was as if he was Indiana Jones again and he beamed with pride over Short Round. He had this tunnel vision where he was only focusing on Quan, even wanting to award him with Oscar. Harrison still loved Ke.
it wasn't Harrison Ford that finally saw him, it was the movie industry that so badly needs this change, Key Huy Quan is now a pioneer, paving the way for others, he is a humble gentle soul, who truly deserves this 😍
To hear the reason why he stepped away was so sad, but I am so proud of him
I cried when Ke Hey Quan made his acceptance speech! It's about time that more Asian actors work in Hollywood!
Perhaps hollywood is starting to cast minorities to save their own ass as common with white folks. They hate minorities but don't mind using minorities for their own benefit. Just like how lots of racist whites proclaim: "Don't buy chinese junk" but don't mind chinese junk when they're desperate.
Damn...this made me tear up! I was an 80s kid and grew watching him. It was like he spoke to all of us down and out in life. Miracles do happen!
As a goonie, I couldn't be more happy for Ke...Good for him!
He looked slicker than 'slick shoes' and had a smile wider than 'The Pinchers of Peril'. Goonies For Life.
You ain't a Goonie lol
@@michaeldepinto3562 Pinto Bean...Be Quiet before you get humbled.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia Facts!💯🙌
@@TheQuietStorm630 🤨
He was robbed. We were robbed. Everything Everywhere All At once clearly showed not only how good an actor he is but also an incredible range. He could have had this incredible career for decades if Hollywood didn't suck. I mourn the films he could have brought that energy to and didn't, and eagerly wait to see him more going forward.
He could have been one of the world-class character actors. EEAAO would have been a second Oscar. The fact that he returned to acting and gave us an all-time performance is bittersweet.
He is still alive lols great and can now finance scrips and include diverse actors. I look forward to seeing him in more films.
He's going to be in Loki, so that's a start. Having him in a cameo or post-credits scene for the next Indy film would be heartwarming. Maybe a Short Round spinoff series could work too!
@@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex it won 7 Oscar's.
@@allie6469 I know it did. I'm just saying with his prowess as an actor, he could have been a global A-list character actor.
For someone that really deserves an opportunity like this he is the one. His personality, his style, his tone, his pitch, and so much more just resonates through you until it hits that one point where you want to see more of him. I'm so happy to see him back!!!
This man is so humble and greatful. You never know when your next big break will come. Much deserved win!
Goonies fan here too and this story is inspiring how his journey went and he deserves every opportunity that will come.
Him and Michelle winning was absolutely triumphant!!
and Jamie! She was fantastic!
They are three of my favorites
Goonies, indiana Jones series, Police story series, Supercop, Wing Chun, Perfect, True Lies fan here
I feel for this man, I know what it feels to work so hard for something for years, and his excitement and overwhelming gratitude was palpable.
I believe this year they really give Oscar to people who really deserve it 👍
...what more could anyone literally ask for at this Oscars...the Goonies kid winning in a stunning comeback, and Brendan Fraser winning in a stunning comeback. An added bonus, not one single political joke from Kimmel😂. I may just have to watch it next year!
Kimmel did make fun of Fucker Tucker and the Trumper Terrorists --- that made everyone laugh 😂
Lets not forget Jamie lee too 🥰 I was like "OMG my childhood heroes are all BACK"!
I think he did make a MAGA joke, but agreed, this was a return to a feel-good and magical Hollywood of the glory years.
@@goodguyaus Jimmy had to sneak one MAGA joke in there to trigger the Trumper Snowflakes 😂
You got that backwards, the libtards are the snowflakes
😭😭😭😭😭😭 tears of happiness for Ky Huy Quan! We did not forget you! So proud! 💜 Congratulations KHQ! We adore you 💜
His speech is very emotional to watch and very inspiring… Congratulations 🍾🎉… He showed us that to never stop dreaming to achieve our purpose in life….
This made me cry. I was so happy when he won. He deserved it more than anyone.
Since I was a little kid I remember seeing him in the Indiana Jones Movie and he’s had a special place in my heart. I always wondered when he’ll be back. Soooo happy to see him in EEAO. It was a spectacular movie. So glad for him. And so thankful his wife was such a pillar of support because the movie wouldn’t be as great as it is without him. Such an endearing individual and a positive representative for the Asian community.
So inspiring.. Tears into my eyes the 'moment he said Mom.. I got the Oscar... So naturally hit back to my heart&soul.. Thanks for this amazing clips!
His movies where part of my childhood so happy to see he is once again sharing his gift with the world! ❤
something happened on life, which i lost all passion on life, i think i need to loop the speech at the end everyday, so i can keep on to find a dream that i will keep staying alive
Ke was in a movie about regreats and the search for a better life, he was made for this part. I didn't enjoy Everything Everywere All at Once but this guy was the best part of the movie for me. Congrats to him and to everyone that still believes in their dreams.
This was the best compilation video that captures the key points from his various interviews in a way that tells the whole story. Good work whoever put this together. Pure class.
I haven't caught the Oscar's in years. Mostly because of the b.s. But, this year seems to have been a good one, with great actors, that many got their due. Glad to see a lot of them, did.
Ke is a wonderful & humble man…. He certainly deserves this prestigious honor! 💕
Not many child star managed to better or transit their acting career to adulthood.
Either they gotten sick of it, or be tainted by fame and went to drug or drink.
This one is a success story behind many failed ones.
Yeah but a lot of child actors do go on to be successful adult actors --- Christian Bale, Sean Astin, Elijah Wood, and Ke Huy Quan are good examples
@@kerzytibok3211 And the biggest of them all..Elizabeth Taylor.
@@kerzytibok3211 Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Natalie Portman, it's quite a list
Jodie Foster was a child actor who went on to become a 2x Best Actress winner at the Oscars. Legendary career! Jennifer Connelly did really well for herself too.
@@xSaintOfSinnersx yes I knew a left a bunch out --- so the idea that all child actors fail as adults is just a myth
♥️ I’m so happy for Ke, and personally inspired.
I cried with happiness at the oscars for him and Brendan ! Amazing actors !
This man is amazing! I’m so very happy for him. I’m glad he decided to not give up and I’m glad that he got recognition for the one thing he’s always loved to do.
Much love, Ke Huy Quan!❤❤❤
Seems like a wonderful person. He deserves it.
Quite a moment to see Short Round (Ke Huy Quan) on stage with Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford, now age 80) who tried to hand him the Best Picture statue either as a mistake or a kind gesture. Meanwhile at the front of the audience were Steven Speilberg, and his wife Kate Capshaw who co-starred with Shorty and Dr. Jones (as Willie Scott) in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Reunited after 39 years!
So glad he got acknowledgments and decided to come back to the show business.
Ke makes me cry every time i see this speech....sooooo well deserved!!!!!Happy tears....
He deserves this Oscar so much!!!!
I'm so pleased for ke. So good to see him back, and that he's become a great guy. He was a great kid but you never know how someone will turn out.
Michelle Yeoh has accomplished so much even before the Oscar. Even without the Oscar, she’s still one of the best actresses out there, regardless of race. Unfortunately, like any industry race plays a big role. She’s proven herself among her acting peers yet once again.
She was born in my country, Malaysia 🇲🇾
@No Name asian films need more asian people in them . Go ask tyler perry to make a film if you want to see black actors and go ask jack black to make a film if you want to see white actors .
@No Name you just haven't looked in the right places. There are lots of Asian films in Asian speaking countries . Unlike most americans the Asian people learn to speak 2 languages , their own as well as a foreign language which is why you can find american and european films in their countries but few of their films in other countries . Even most europeans learn to speak another language , while americans struggle just to learn one language .
@No Name actually it just goes to show how IGNORANT the rest of the world is if they don't want to learn another language . It would be interesting to see what would happen to the world if the Chinese workers went on strike considering China practically makes electrical parts for ALL products .
@No Name actually thanks to you it just occurred to me that I haven't seen any black / african speaking countries that are capable of making a film on their own in their own language UNLIKE the asian countries . I can't think of black /african film company that is 100% , no help from whites , black /african owned . The few blacks / africans who are actors speak EVERY language EXCEPT for a african language in the film's they are part of . 99% of blacks / africans are working in films produced / owned by whites . 99% of Western films portray asians as the villains so I would say that western and Eastern films are even on casting each other as villains .
Congratulations... you have always been great since the Indie movies. You had such great chemistry... great talent and yes always follow your dreams!!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏
What a beautiful soul, i cried with the acceptance speach.
I ADMIRE HIM WHEN HE WAS STILL YOUNG,I BECOME EMOTIONAL SEEING WITH FORD,FORDS MOVIES WITH HIM IS HIS BEST NOW AT MY AGE OF 70YRS I STILL WATCH SOME RE RUNS OR IN CD
Short Round, one of my favourite characters of all time. I’m so happy for him. What an amazing story to never give up.
damn.. this really moved me to tears.. great actor, great person.. well-deserved.. congratualtions Ke
He has a comedian look. He is a natural story teller. It is a matter of finding a right movies.
This man deserves nothing but good fortune. He was a great kid actor I'd thought I'd see more of but I'm glad he's back.
OMG,HE HAS THE SAME VOICE.I WAS. SO EMOTIONAL SEEING HIM WITH FORD
Watching this and remembering that cute little asian kid (and wondering whatever happened to...) brought tears to my eyes. So very happy for him!
the last part, that message, it pierced to my heart. I know there's a lot work to be done but I will never give up. This dream is not for me alone now, this dream is for my family. Kudos to my lil idiana jones.
I imagine that Key Hue Quan at the Oscar’s thought about his past. About how he immigrated into the United States of America and was teased a lot about being Vietnamese and being Asian. But he changed when his brother was auditioning for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom he was asked if he wanted to try, and Quan responded, “sure, why not?” And when he did he eventually got chosen. Now for the film Everything Everywhere All At Once, it has 7 Oscar awards and Quan is nominated as supporting actor role. Such a great guy 😊
Short Round is such an iconic character, I’m glad and happy he was able to win an Oscar as an adult 🔥🔥🔥
Not only was the number of Asian roles a challenge, but it's also challenging when someone becomes famous as a child. Many times they can't blend seamlessly into an adult actor. And, really I LOVE this actor as such a wonderful person, but have to admit he has a very atypical speech pattern, and that probably narrows available roles too. But despite all of that, his character and his talent came through. I loved seeing him with Ford and seeing Spielberg seeing this. How momentous and I can't wait to see him in more roles that do justice to his talent!
Not many things get me tearing up. Watching this definitely had me doing so. So happy for him.
I bawled my bloody guts out when he won, and every clip like this I see I cry my eyes out all over again, blubbering like a baby, I loved him back then and even more now, so happy for you man. ❤ aussie girl xxxxx
Wow - that was far more inspirational than I expected it to be. Great video! Its like a min-doc.
Oscar this year definitely won back its quality and respect. For several years, there were so many scandals and dramas that took the focus away from the winners, I love that this year it's truly about hard-working amazing people, who got their spotlights and can spread inspiration.
I tear up watching the last clip again. 😢. It’s wonderful and so happy he won.
I'm so glad you've gotten this opportunity, and hit it out of the park.
I do not know how to explain my feeling as seeing him winning and yea his speech in Oscar, and knowing what he deal with for years. I am happy for him and also feel the struggling he had and yes even live could be ups and downs and maybe due to our priorities, reasons some of us change, and give up our dreams. However, even for people give up dreams, we can still have new one. All dreams takes our efforts, time to achieve and I can only hope for all, things turn our the way we hope as it is positive and good.
I am so happy that he won!
Such a wonderful man! I'm so very happy for him! Happy Tears!
I can't believe he's that little boy. Now I feel like every dream can come true if we work hard. Feel so touched to see how Harrison Ford interacted with him after be got the award. Love and respect shown to us. Congrats, Ke. You did it. God bless you all.
That was a year jerker. What a beautiful human being. His speech was heart felt, so sincere!❤❤❤❤❤
As heartwarming as this story is, the real test for whether there is any meaningful change going forward, will be the extent that there are acting opportunities for Asians (and, in particular - Asian males) when casting decisions are being made.
It is notable that the two movies most commonly referenced as advancing Asian representation in film (Crazy Rich Asians, and now Everything Everywhere All At Once) both guaranteed Asian casting because of some central premise of the film (You can't easily cast white actors, when the Asian identity of the character is central to the premise of the film). Outside of such a premise, the reality that Ke Huy Quan faced is that (up to now) nobody in Hollywood wanted to cast Asian actors (in the case of Asian men - basically not at all, in the case of Asian women - generally only as sex objects).
Indeed this prejudice is so strong that even where a character is written to be Asian, this can be 'retconned' to turn the character White (see: Marvel's 'Ancient One', which would have required hiring an Asian Male - rewritten to have a white female), or just have a White actress playing the role of a half-Asian character (see: Emma Stone in Aloha). Sometimes, the entire cast can be rewritten to be white - except for the villain, who stays Asian (see: Avatar, the Last Airbender). Or, the source material/context is conveniently ignored in order to have a white Actress (see: Scarlett Johansson in Ghost in the Shell).
Which is not to say that any single decision to make a character White is necessarily wrong. However, when everyone does it, you end up with Ke Huy Quan's situation - where there are simply no opportunities for decades on end because you're Asian (I note that 'diversity' in media since the 90's up to maybe a few years ago in practice meant 'Black').
So the real test from this: For films/media where the race of the character isn't a central premise to the show, what opportunities exist for Asians?
Yes what you say is true but what about Latinos. There are more Latinos than Asians in the US and do they have fair representation these days?
It’s kind of an up and down cycle for all.
Cases like scarlet johansen in ghost shell is to use a popular actress to make a film more interesting to watch.
I love him he's the embodiment of the American spirit even though adversity and turmoil
Im sorry for all the speeches years before, but his made my eyes water. His reaction was so true to heart, and that little message of his at the end "keep your dreams alive." Wow, it made me smile with my watery eyes as i watched it. 👏👏
Happy you came back we missed you ❤️
Love you Ke! Glad you came back to acting.👏🏾
It’s about time…. The biggest come back ever. So proud of them all ❤
OMG, I absolutely loved that little boy in everything I saw him in - I thought he was the cutest thing - and he hasn't changed ... He can still bring tears to my eyes - I'm so glad he tried again and came back.
I like hearing those stories. Glad he never gave up on his dream. He's a good actor.
Its a beautiful movie and whats funny is that I didnt really see it as “asian” movie but as a family movie. What a lovely video on Ke. Many many congratulations ❤
It's a true dream come true to see the young actors we grew up with fall down and then rise above on such achievements 🙌 🙏 ✨️ 👏 👌 ❤️. Brendan was shut out from Hollywood for a while, and Ke left for his own reasons. Sadly, some of the lives were lost too soon, such as River Phoenix and Corey Haim. The many who have lived on have really made a difference in the entertainment industry and have inspired us not to give up on our dreams. It's okay to change roles in life, and if you want something bad enough, it takes work, but you can reach your goals and be successful. Amen 🙏
Thank you for posting I needed that
I love Brian Tyree Henrys reaction to Ke winning. Big smile and immediate applause. Class act!
What a kid ! What a MAN now !
...sometimes dreams come true... Congratulations Shorty/Data
Truly amazing story I’m so glad your back. You will always be one of my favorite actors. Congrats on your well deserved win! 🏆
Thank for this, it brought a tear to my eye as someone who watched Goonies/Indy 36 years ago!
Even if you're in your 50's and you think life has passed you by, nope, you still got a shot.
I don't know why I'm 😭😭 listening to his speech
He made me cry.
Very motivational and inspiring. It’s that silent voice in our thoughts that we bend to. And we say what is it, what am I not doing good. He is just the mirror of many bright minds out there. And he moves me to not stop and keep believing.
He Deserves Everything ✌✌✌
Ke does not have a sob story. He stared alongside Harrison Ford and was directed by Steven Spielberg as a kid. He went on to do the Goonies, Encino Man, and several other movies later. He went to USC film school and worked as an Assistant Director under several great Directors in Hong Kong for many years. He did not work at 7-11, he was busy working in the film industry for 25 years! He did not come out of nowhere like we are led to believe.
