Happy for Ke, this man didn't forget where he came from, he didn't hide his identity, he remembered what his mom sacrificed for him...well deserved award. Your story is inspirational to many people. 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.

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.

      @@edubbs3528 it gets complicated because Ke is of Hoa descent which is considered a minority group in Vietnam, so many Viets might not consider him one of their own? It's also telling that Ke's family settled in the Chinatown section of Los Angeles and not the "Little Saigon" area in south L.A. where most Viet refugees settled in the 80's.

    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.
