What may have been one of the best moments of Oscar night happened early, when Ke Huy Quan accepted the best supporting actor trophy for his role in the highly decorated "Everything Everywhere All At Once." In an emotional speech, Quan thanked his wife, Echo, "who month after month, year after year for 20 years, told me that one day my time will come."
It was a moving moment that recalled one of Quan's previously most famous films, "The Goonies." In the 1985 Richard Donner-directed adventure, Quan plays one of a group of kids who follow an old pirate map in search of treasure that will save their homes from being demolished by greedy developers. At a key moment in the film, Quan and the others are underground, at the bottom of a well, wet and exhausted, and Mikey (Sean Astin) must convince them to stay and keep looking for the treasure. He pleads, "Down here it's our time. It's our time down here."
