‘Everything Everywhere’ Star Ke Huy Quan Gives Emotional Speech After Winning Oscar for Best Supporting Actor

The Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor has been around since the 9th annual ceremony in 1937. Last year, Troy Kotsur won the Oscar for CODA. He was up against Kodi Smit-McPhee for The Power of the Dog, Ciarán Hinds for Belfast, Jesse Plemons for The Power of the Dog and J.K. Simmons for Being the Ricardos.

Other previous winners include Daniel Kaluuya for Judas and the Black Messiah, Mahershala Ali for Green Book and Moonlight, Sam Rockwell for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies, J. K. Simmons for Whiplash, Jared Leto for Dallas Buyers Club, Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained, Christopher Plummer for Beginners and Christian Bale for The Fighter.

Walter Brennan (Come and Get It) received the first-ever award in this category and currently holds the record for most wins (three). He’s followed by a seven-way tie between Ali, Waltz, Michael Caine, Melvyn Douglas, Anthony Quinn, Jason Robards and Peter Ustinov.

We can’t wait for the after-party.
