Ke Huy Quan had a major night at the 2023 Oscars on March 12. The "Everything Everywhere All at Once" star won best supporting actor for his role and got to celebrate the movie's other six wins, including best picture. But perhaps the icing on the cake was Quan's old Indiana Jones costar Harrison Ford being the one to give the "Everything Everywhere All at Once" cast and crew the biggest award of the night. The acting pair even shared an emotional and loving embrace on stage.
In an interview with Variety published on March 15, Quan opened up about how momentous having Ford be the one to present him with the best picture Oscar was. "When he opened that envelope and read the title, it made our win for best picture even more special," he said. "And when I ran up onstage, I pointed at him and he pointed back at...

Ke Huy Quan, who returned to acting for Everything Everywhere All At Once, won Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars on Sunday night.
Quan rose to fame as a child star playing Harrison Ford‘s sidekick Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Data in The Goonies (1985).
However, he quit acting soon after because he felt there weren’t many meaningful roles for Asian people. He didn’t start acting again until the filming of Everything Everywhere began in 2021. He played Waymond Wang, Michelle Yeoh‘s eccentric husband.
Quan received the first standing ovation of the ceremony. He began to get emotional as he hugged his castmates and walked up to the stage.
“My journey started on a boat. I spent a year in a refugee camp. And somehow, I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage,” the actor said. “They say stories like this only happen in the movies.

Buenos Aires-based production outfit Mil Monos is teaming with writer-director Pablo Agüero and writer-creator Nicolás Britos to develop dystopian coming-of-age thriller series project “Decibel.”
Produced by Mil Monos’ Maximiliano Monzón, “Decibel” is currently at pilot script stage, and a shoot start is planned by January 2024, tentatively in Argentina.
Written by Britos, the eight-episode, half-hour thriller follows five deaf teenagers born in a mountainous region. When The Hum, a sound that transforms every person who can hear it into a frenzied killer, is unleashed, their deafness makes them immune.
The five teens must choose between stopping the apocalypse to save the planet or letting the world perish in order to start over from scratch.
“Decibel” is one of the ten projects selected for the 9th edition of Co-Pro Series pitches at the Berlinale Series Market, running Feb. 20-22.
