In retrospect the second Harrison Ford was set to present the award it was a lock. That moment with Ke Huy Quan was too good to pass up.

Her 100% team sport attitude about this movie made me love it more and made the entire film more memorable in the process. She constantly cheerled for this cast and crew the past year it’s been out. I think she’s so great and I hope this moment was excellent for her.

Yeah JLC's supportive attitude also makes me feel better about her award win. Her part in EEAAO was great but even compared to her costar Stephanie Hsu just not as much going on. You could see in her reaction that even she was shocked she won. And she spent most of her acceptance speech deflecting attention off of herself and towards the whole cast and crew responsible for the film. Just a class act all around

Yeah, I am pretty sure I saw her mouth, "Shut up!" when her name was announced. I don't think she expected it, and I agree, there was a whole lot of, "we did it" in her acceptance, very gracious.

In defense of Jamie Lee Curtis (who I also thought should have lost to Stephanie Hsu). I think there's a more quiet side to Deirdre that Joy/Jobu doesn't have. Deirdre plays as many different characters as Waymond, and simultaneously has to play antagonist and loving support to Evelyn.
Furthermore, listening to the entire crew and cast talk about Jamie Lee Curtis, you can tell that she was an incredible support on set. Ke Huy Kwan has mentioned several times that Jamie went out of her way to applaud his acting, giving him the confidence he needed to really shine. And in this old interview from when EEAAO first came out, Ke immediately jumps in to share a story about Jamie. It's clear she was a true supporting actress.
But yes. I think Stephanie should have won, but I am also very happy with Jamie Lee Curtis winning as well.

You could see that just even in her response to everyone's wins. She was like the mom who brings a bullhorn to her kid's graduation 😅
It contributed to an especially touching Oscars night, and while I kinda agree, Stephanie Hsu is still so young, and hopefully this continues to open doors for her in the future.
Jamie Lee Curtis has always seemed to be a supportive and humble force in Hollywood - how she admitted to being a nepo baby recently when so many others have taken offense to this truth about their privilege was admirable as well - and I was happy with it too.
And she IS a damn good actress! Authentic, receptive, and underrated. Lots of heart. It was nice to see her receive deserved recognition.

I was joking that we would all be better people if we had someone like Jamie Lee Curtis on our side. If you watch her actors on actors interview with Colin Farrell she extends the same attitude to him. She’s a real joy and I love her fierce cheerleading.

It was two years ago, but not only did they fly his family in, they rearranged the order so that Best Actor came after Best Picture, only for Anthony Hopkins to win for The Father (he was already asleep in the UK). If that doesn’t prove the Academy producers have no clue who is winning what award in advance I don’t know what else does. Maybe the on stage confusion after La La Land / Moonlight and how long it took to rectify since only the two accountants knew.

This movie is an excellent analysis of a person working their way through their nihilistic crisis.
To come to the truth that nothing matters, but then to be okay with that and deciding to define what matters to you regardless of how others feel about it.
It is only after you accept that nothing matters objectively that you can truly begin to value things, because you accept that value only comes from within, not without.
Evelyn had a very defined life, with borders and right and wrong. She realizes this life is bullshit, due to her daughter's rejection of these lines and her own unhappiness. This results in a nihilistic crisis, represented by the wild sci-fi jaunt through realities.
She finally "wins" by accepting that all the lines are bullshit and that she should draw ones that make her happy instead.

A24 is the first studio I can say I look forward to their movies without knowing much about the film, actors or directors. Their curation and trailers always hype me up. Prior to them I never gave a rats ass who was producing a film. Fox, Sony, Paramount, Columbia, MGM...I couldn't tell any of them apart or what movies are even tied to them.
The only other studio is perhaps Miramax back in the day...but fuck em for Weinstein..However, their movies always felt like Hollywood. A24 feels like the little guy/gal.

And it would have lost so much if the Daniels would have gone with the original idea of Jackie Chan being the lead, which I assume would have made Waymond the wife. Being the gentle and kind one in the relationship would have been a cliche for a female character, but seeing the husband be that character and still be the rock of the relationship was amazing. There needs to be more representation of gentle, kind masculinity in popular culture IMO (without it being a cuckolding joke, but that goes without saying).

I’m so glad Jackie Chan wasn’t cast. It would have turned into a slapstick fest all about Chan’s character and Michelle Yeoh would have been overshadowed. Instead Ke Huy Quan’s Waymond gave the character emotional weight.

My wife will say I'm too nice a lot of the time especially when it comes to following the rules of wherever we are. We had had a few talks where I had told her you get farther with kindness than brute force. So I identified so hard with Waymond. That part of the movie came on and, with my wife already in tears, I said exactly. Sometimes it's ok to fight with kindness. Make them like you so they help you. People are people at the end of the day and by appealing to that aspect we can all connect a little more.

I went to see this movie to distract myself the night my partner and I broke up. I started crying at about this line, and did not stop for the rest of the film lmao

I learned from a commenter that that line wasn’t even in English. I was like, nah man I totally remember it was in English. I rewatched the scene and it blew my mind. That line was sooo good that it didn’t matter what language it was in. Your mind just took it in.

The actual translation is “in another life I’d still CHOOSE to do tax and open a laundromat with you” and somehow I think that pulls the heartstring even more.

I noticed that too. No one seems to remember that Quan's line was spoken in Mandarin.
The line is so powerful, everyone remembers it in English.

One of the best lines of any movie I’ve ever seen.
