Cue celebrations across the universe: Everything Everywhere All at Once took home the Screen Actors Guild Award on Sunday for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. The ensemble led by Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis beat out Babylon, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans and Women Talking for the night’s top prize.
Curtis accepted the award from presenter Mark Wahlberg, “on behalf of my crew of weirdos," before passing the mic to fellow nominees Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh, who introduced “someone who has been supporting ensemble longer than any of us has been alive.”
“He has been acting since there were only 49 states, and he just turned 94. And it's been 69 years in making to get him to the stage. Our patriarch, our friend, James Hong!”
Doing a literal dance of joy, Hong marveled at how far Asian actors have come in his lifetime. “I got my first SAG card 70 years ago,” he said. “My first movie was with Clark Gable. But back in those days, [in] The Good Earth, the leading role was played with guys with eyes taped up like this. The producers said the Asians are not good enough and they are not box office [material]. But look at us now!”
Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once centers on an Asian American family being audited by the IRS who are pulled into a fight to save the multiverse from a monstrous being.
