Ke Huy Quan has won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar at the Academy Awards for his performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The movie, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert and tells the story of a Chinese immigrant in the United States who is thrust into an epic adventure to try and stop a great, evil power from arising within the multiverse.
In Everything Everywhere All At Once, Quan plays Waymond Wang, the husband of the lead character played by Michelle Yeoh.
Quan previously won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and was the favourite heading into the Academy Awards which took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Remarkably, the 51-year-old had actually retired from acting due to a lack of opportunities for Asian actors in Hollywood, only to be convinced to return for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Quan won the category which also included Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin), Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin), Brian Tyree Henry (Causeway) and Judd Hirsch (The Fabelmans).
"They say that stories like this only happen in the movies, but this is happening to me! This is the American dream!" he said after winning.
