00:00For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight,
00:06this is a beacon of hope and possibilities.
00:10This is proof that dreams dream big and dreams do come true.
00:17And ladies, don't let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime.
00:23You never give up.
00:25I wouldn't be standing here tonight without the Daniels, without A24, without my amazing
00:43cast and crew, without everyone who was involved with Everything Everywhere all at once.
00:51But I have to dedicate this to my mom, all the moms in the world, because they are really
01:04the superheroes.
01:06And without them, none of us will be here tonight.
01:11She's 84 and I'm taking this home to her.
01:24She's watching right now in Malaysia KL with my family and friends.
01:29I love you guys.
01:30I'm bringing this home to you and also to my extended family in Hong Kong where I started
01:37my career.
01:38Thank you for letting me stand on your shoulders, giving me a leg up so that I can be here today.
01:44And to my godchildren, to my sisters, all of them, to my brothers, oh god, to my family.
01:55Thank you to the Academy.
01:56This is history in the making.
