It was a historic night Sunday for Michelle Yeoh and her Everywhere Everything All At Once co-star Ke Huy Quan at the SAG Awards. Yeoh became the first Asian Best Actress Film winner in SAG history for her portrayal of Evelyn Wang, while Quan became the first Asian Best Supporting Actor Film winner for portraying Waymond Wang.
The A4 film won four awards tonight including Best Film Ensemble, solidifying its front-runner status heading into the Oscars.
Yeoh rose to fame in the 1980s and ’90s as an action star doing much of her own stunts before finding an international audience through films like the James Bond pic Tomorrow Never Dies and Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
“I think if I speak, my heart will explode,” Yeoh told her peers in her acceptance speech. She also thanked SAG-AFTRA for “understanding what it [takes] to get here” since they can all relate to the “journey and the roller coaster ride and the ups and downs” of the industry.
She added, “This is not just for me, this is for every little girl that looks like me.”
Quan was a rising young star while Yeoh was climbing the ladder. He famously played Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Data in The Goonies, among other memorable roles. He took a break from Hollywood and earned a film degree from USC before taking on jobs behind the scenes.
He made a splashy return as an actor in Everything Everywhere All at Once and has since become the sweetheart of the awards circuit.

Earning the first standing ovation of the night, Quan took the stage and shouted out his 84-year-old mother, who is watching at home. “Mom, I just won an Oscar!” For Quan, the victory marks an especially emotional coda to awards season. He rose to fame before his teenage years, playing Harrison Ford’s sidekick in 1984’s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and appearing in 1985’s “The Goonies.” But Quan quit acting shorty after because he found there weren’t many substantial film roles for Asian people.
