Everything Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan made history following his victory at the 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The Vietnamese-American actor was voted by his colleagues for the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role and became the first Asian actor to win the award in that category at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
It has been a successful start to 2023 for the 51-year-old after he was overcome with emotion when accepting a Golden Globe award last month.
The Banshees of Inisherin co-stars Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan, Eddie Redmayne (The Good Nurse) and Paul Dano's performance in The Fabelmans were also nominated.
After collecting the actor, Quan said: "I quickly realised that this moment no longer belongs to me. It also belongs to everyone who has asked for change.
"The landscape looked so different now than before. So, thank you so much to all of you in this room and everyone who contributed to these changes."
He became increasingly emotional throughout his acceptance speech. Quan concluded: "To all those at home who are watching and struggling and waiting to be seen. Please keep on going, because the spotlight will one day find you.
"Thank you everyone for rooting for me. I will be rooting for you."
Everything Everywhere All At Once were the big winners at the ceremony as they collected nearly every top accolade of the night.
Jamie Lee Curtis won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role before Quan's historic victory moments later.
The film, which is nominated for 11 Academy Awards next month, claimed the biggest award of the night with Best Cast in a Motion Picture - the SAG equivalent of Best Picture.
Co-star Michelle Yeoh won the SAG award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.
"I think if I speak my heart will explode,” she said after collecting the award from Jeff Bridges.
"Every one of you know, the journey, the roller coaster ride, the ups and downs. But most important, we never give up.
"Thank you for your support, because I know I’m up against titans. This is not just for me, this is for every little girl that looks like me."
The only major accolade not swept away by the Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert directed blockbuster was Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, which was won by Brendan Fraser for his portrayal of Charlie in The Whale.
The 54-year-old, who beat Golden Globe winner Austin Butler for his role as Elvis, said: "I will treasure this, but never more than what I treasured – what I used to keep in my wallet, which was my SAG card that I earned in 1991.
"It made me feel like I belong. As actors we all want to belong to a tribe and that’s when I found where I belonged.
"If you told that guy back then, that I’d be standing here – I would not have believed you."
During the awards ceremony, Sally Field was the recipient of the 2022 SAG Life Achievement Award to celebrate her 61-year career in the industry.
She was presented the award by Andrew Garfield, her co-star in the The Amazing Spider-Man, before delivering an empowering speech.
"I’ve worked my whole life. I have ridden the highs and tried to learn from the lows," she said.
"And in all of these almost 60 years there is not a day that I don’t feel quietly thrilled to call myself an actor."
