Watch Jamie Lee Curtis win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’
Jamie Lee Curtis is all of us, which means that all of us have just won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Curtis took home the award for her role as Deirdre Beaubeirdra in Everything Everywhere All at Once. She was nominated alongside co-star Stephanie Hsu, as well as Angela Bassett, the first actor from a Marvel movie to ever be nominated. Her co-star, Ke Huy Quan, received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
This is Curtis’s first nomination and win at the Academy Awards, and she took to the stage with an emotional speech thanking everyone who got her to this point, from the cast and crew of Everything Everywhere All at Once to the genre movies where she got her start to her mother and father, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, who were both Oscar nominees in the past.
“We all just won an Oscar!” she said.
Ke Huy Quan wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’
Ke Huy Quan made history tonight.
Following Quan’s incredible awards season sweep, which included wins at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Critics Choice Awards, the actor added yet another to his collection tonight with his big Best Supporting Actor win for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
“My journey started on a boat. I spent a year at a refugee camp, and somehow I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage. They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe this is happening to me. This is the American dream!”
The cast and crew of Everything Everywhere All At Once are making history from practically every angle at this year’s Academy Awards, leading the pack with 11 nominations. Quan’s award tonight is an especially important landmark in the Academy’s history, which has only nominated 23 actors of Asian descent since its inception in 1929 — with four ever actually having won.
Throughout this year’s award season, Quan has been vocal about his turbulent career in Hollywood, citing the lack of opportunities after his success as a child actor in films like The Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. With Everything Everywhere All At Once, Quan is seeing a well-deserved career resurrection, and his win tonight cements him as a force to be reckoned with, as well as hopefully signaling a shift in the Academy’s treatment of Asian actors and creators.
“Dreams are something you have to believe in. I almost gave up on mine. To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive!”
Everything Everywhere All At Once is streaming on Paramount+ and Showtime.

Oscar Winner Hattie McDaniel’s legacy and yet to be realized dreams
In its 94-year-long history, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has bestowed an Oscar, one the industry’s most coveted acting awards, to just 10 Black women. This year, actor Angela Bassett could become the 11th name on that short list, continuing a legacy that began with trailblazing performer and Hollywood legend Hattie McDaniel in 1940.
Bassett is nominated for Best Supporting Actress, the same category in which McDaniel won for her role in the 1939 adaptation of Gone with the Wind. McDaniel’s story has become synonymous with a long, complicated battle in Hollywood for equitable consideration and proper respect for the careers of Black performers. It’s a pursuit that represents a reality yet to be seen, often glossed over by the victorious, hope-inspiring moments, like McDaniel’s Oscar win.
