“It was really touching to see people who look like me winning.”

We have Everything Everywhere All at Once winning the Oscar. Again, that’s like the first time any of us have, I think, ever really done that. And then, Michelle Yeoh winning Best Actress, Ke winning Best Supporting Actor. It just – all kinds of fun things for us. And, like it felt nice. It felt – if you had listened to the speeches, it was touching, it was really touching. It was good to see people who look like me winning. That we could do something, that we could be up there with all of these other people that are, you know, great actors and actresses and movies. And we’re finally being represented in that way now. We’re finally being represented on such a national stage, so that, I think, has been, like, the biggest thing. I mean it was – you know, for me, as someone who gave up on my dreams to do that. As someone who, you know, didn’t really see people who look like me up on stage winning these awards, like, it meant a lot. It really did. And so yeah, that’s the big one, just Everything Everywhere All at Once winning as many awards as it did.
