Ke suddenly transformed back to being a kid again in the arms of Harrison Ford. For most of us, it doesn't matter how old we get, there's always those elders who cared for us as children and that relationship will never change.
Amazing moment
@@kooledinhk It really was such an amazing moment for both of them and all of us to see.
You're always 8 for your grandma.
Matt Kinsella, Short Round, Get the Oscar !
I'm a huge Indy fan. Back in 1984 when Temple of Doom came out I read while making the movie Harrison taught Ke how to swim in the hotel pool.
I'm not even an Indiana Jones fan, but I was choked up seeing that reunion. We really got to see someones inner child have a moment, that doesnt happen often.
Oh, now we all have to see Indiana Jones 2 for that
Not an Indiana Jones fan????
I have no idea what the new movie was … but a BIG Indiana Jones fan … so great to see 🙂
I can’t believe there’s someone out there who doesn’t love Indiana Jones!!
Still getting goosebumps...
The only time in 20 years of watching the Oscars that it ever made me tear up. Ke Huy Quan seems like the most genuine personality in the jaded town of Hollywood. Or if he's faking it, he's actually the best actor to ever live. Either way he deserved the Oscar.
as I met him years ago on a convention... he was very very nice/charming and talking about Goonies/Indiana Jones. He was very very nice.
He had a really long break from Hollywood so give him time for the jadedness to set in.
I don't think he:s faking his excitement n exuberance. I know some adult Asians who when experiencing a very positive life changing experience would react like this in an almost child like manner, they just can't contain their happiness
@@carlotta4thand here we have a negative jaded person living life. Way to go mate
Yeah he's got that humble attitude which I noticed a lot in K-Pop groups when I started following K-Pop, for example. It is something that's much, much rarer in the west. It makes me love those kinds of people tenfold more.
Ke’s comeback might be the greatest in all of Hollywood history. How many people have taken a break from acting for 20 years only to return and win an Oscar in their very first film? I’m guessing the number is zero. That would be like taking a break from tennis for 20 years and coming back to win Wimbledon in their very first tournament. Truly incredible story.
Living the American dream...dream big, work hard and never give up...and hope for the stars to align...
It’s cool but Brendon and RDJ I think have a more miraculous comeback
@@tab5470you do know this is not 1950 anymore, right? Ke is a brilliant actor but he returned to filming because he still had connections which is all the help you need. Contrary to popular ipinion he never left the business, he worked as a stuntman and stunt choreographer for xll that time and a highly respected one at that. He was not forgotten, just not in the limelight.
He was in Finding Ohana before thid, idk any others off yhr top of my head
He didn’t take a break. Nobody would hire him after he matures from being a child actor.
Absolutely glorious moments, when Brendon won, when Key won, and Michelle won. They all absolutely one hundred percent deserve it and it brought a little bit of magic back to Hollywood.
Exactamundo. I couldn't say it better. Best Oscar since 89.
..and when Jamie won. A long time coming, that one!
@@theprinceoftides6836 Omg you guys I misspelled Brendan and Ke's names. Out of respect for them, I had to correct myself! Peace to you both!
I can agree with that and I've been hating the Oscars for the last 25 years.
Yep - all four were exactly who I'd hoped would win!
When Ke saw Harrison on stage, he became an 8-year-old all over again! Gold finally came around for Short Round.
12 years old.
I wish he had somehow been added into one of the last 2 Indy movies. Even if just a short cameo.
I’m the one hundredth to like your comment
Why are you being racist calling him Short Round? He's a grown ass man. You don't go around calling Ron Howard, Opie.
@@KA-eu9sy 11.8 years old if you gonna correct someone at least be precise about it smh
The moment when Ford handed the trophy to Quan, Quan immediately turned and pointed to Johnathan Wang the producer to have Wang accepting the trophy. Even in such excitement, Quan is still so selfless. That's how you tell a genuinely wonderful soul, pure class. Edit: Thanks to the comments pointing out that the producer is supposed to take the trophy. What I wanted to point out (and what impressed me) is Quan still REMEMBER that and act appropriately on the biggest stage of his life. After all those years being overlooked, he just won an Oscar for himself earlier that night, and his oldest friend in Hollywood is handing him the trophy of the biggest award. If he really took it from Ford, I think no one will really blame him. But he didn’t, without any hesitation. That’s not an easy thing to do, especially after witnessing the slapping last year.
Yes, I noticed that too! 😍
That's because the trophy will go the producers, not the actors.
Agreed!!❤
@@iris089 true, but hey it’s Indy so of cause he would want to give the treasure to short round 😂
That’s because the best picture trophy goes to the producers of the film, not the cast - even though they all go up. ‘Best picture’ is essentially rewarding the producers that made the best film, not awarding everyone involved like it might seem.
Not gonna lie....this made me cry a little. Seeing those two celebrating together, watching them hug, seeing Spielberg smiling in the crowd...Brought back so many memories of my childhood watching all of them.
Steven wiping a tear away got me!
Same here! And I neverrrr even watch the oscaes. As an 80s kid..this was different!
Yeah, but the sad thing is, I didn't get to see my high school friend since we last met for 20 years 😭
And Kate Capshaw, Steven Spielberg’s wife, was also there. Smiling proudly at Ke Huy Qaun, as well.
Impossible not to shed a tear. There's so much history and chemistry and heart
😂😂
I couldn't stop crying. He deserved that oscar.
❤
I'm STILL tearing up watching this video. Heartwarming!
I guarantee you it is possible.
Ke Huy deserves this. The relationship context is gorgeous but in the end, the man faced a lot of the adversity by himself (in the industry) and ultimately gave these A listers the shout out. Class act.
Exactly anti asian/american discrimination in then 80s 90s and early 2000s was no joke. Seriously.
@@kifacorea that's a load of crap
@@robkerr9930 said the white dude lmao shut up
@@yomamamama6213 nah I grew up during that time and lived it. And only part white bro but go ahead spread race hate so you have something to be a victim about.
@@robkerr9930 I did too brah. Hollywood was pretty bleak for Asian males. Still is. You can take that to the bank.
you can tell from his reactions how well Ford and Spielberg must have treated him as a kid on stage...so happy for this guy
When he urged Harrison Ford to give the Oscar to someone else, my heart became full. His humbleness and kindness was beautiful to watch. ❤️❤️❤️
He was pointing Harrison toward Jonathan Wang (one of the producers of the film) because it’s his Oscar, not Ke’s necessarily. Best picture is more akin to a ‘best producer/s’ award, though it seems like the sort of award that all the cast and crew should get a trophy for. In actual fact it’s only the producers who take home a trophy for a best picture win.
Ke is more excited to be on the stage with Harrison Ford than the Oscar!
And then Robert Downey jr snatches the Oscar from him as if he were a hired hand. Vast difference between the class of these men.
Ke Huy Quan was so deserving of this Oscar and of his great recognition all throughout awards season. I was blown away with how good Quan is in this movie. Of all the characters in the film, I felt like he had to display the most range of emotion. (Of course, he's essentially playing many characters throughout the multiverses, as the other actors are.) I just thought he was brilliant. And how can you not LOVE him? I was very happy to see him win.
When I watched the moviie I was like just from the bat "Who is this guy? He is really good!! He looks familiar..."
@@MrAsmontero he is a bit short... I need to see his face again, let's go another round.
Deserving? No.
@@strikerbowls791 yes very much deserving .. he is an amazing actor and such a sweet person.
I saw an interview where Michelle described seeing the first take of him "transforming" into Alpha Waymond in the elevator and she was like... wow this guy is going to crush this movie.
Look at him jumping like an excited little boy 😭😭❤️❤️ Suddenly they’re Short Round and Indy again ❤❤❤❤ That Oscar was so deserved.
If there is another Indiana Jones movie, maybe they'll pair up again.
Like he said winning the best supporting actor oscar was like a dream come true, imagine Ke's elation to see his castmates win the best picture award, presented to them by his dearest actor friend he's known since he was a kid. What an inspiring moment! No wonder Ke could not contain his excitement!!!!! Yes, so well deserved to have that moment!
I cried..🥺🥺🙏🙌
The movie was pretty cool I enjoyed it there was a lot going on lol I bet Harrison ford enjoyed it
Honestly, it was the highlight of the night. And a rare moment seeing Harrison actually smile.
I’ll never get tired of watching her voice crack when she announced his name. Some years the Oscars are truly and only about art. Some years they’re about underdogs & hard grafters getting recognized after years of neglect. And I’m fine with that.
And sometimes the Oscars are about both artistry and comeback kids. This was one of those years.
And some years they're about a narcissistic thug who slaps people across the face for gratification.
I thought I was the only one. That messed me up
Looking at Ke Huy Quan hugging Harrison Ford like a fanboy is absolutely heartwarming. Edit: I do know that Ford and Quan worked together in the Indiana* Jones movie years ago :) Maybe “fanboy” is not the right word, but to see the close affinity displayed between Ford and Quan after all these years is really heartwarming to see.
And no accident....
He wasn't fanboy.... he was Short Round
Not a fan boy... that was 39 years ago... but two old friends whose lives have come full circle 39 years later... I love the 95th Oscar's... the overwhelming theme among all major winners is redemption after all those years of hard work finally reaching the ultimate peak of their careers... KeHuyQuan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Fraser... who would've thought??? And they're complaining of lack of diversity?
It like a fanboy at all more like a very pleased old friend. Such a drama queen
Not a fanboy they were in a movie together
Even the hosts couldn't hold their tears when they saw Ke's name on the envelope. That's the moment i shed mine too
After that dumpster fire last year it was a relief to see so many great and genuine moments in this year's show.
Tell me about it man
Yes first time ever i tuned in and was interested. Can’t even named the past decade of who won but this years like the planets all aligned and audiences and critics all are on the same page.
Last year oscar is the most entertaining though
🤩🤗💫⭐️✨🎶🎬
Teared up when he embraced Harrison. Truly, childhood relationships with kind, loving and supportive adults will create wonderful memories and feelings in us that remain with us until the very end of our lives. Just have to say this; be extra kind to children! They need our love and kindness more than anything else.
That embrace between Ford and Quan has gotta be one of the sweetest moments in Oscar history. ♥️
It really was!!! 😊
Unforgettable!!!
The thing that gets me, because we all know Ke has his heart there on his sleeve for all the world to see, is how Harrison Ford is the gruffest man alive and so seeing him that happy is pretty cool.
@@mage1439 Absolutely!
About the only thing I could wish for now is that their characters meet up if just for 30 seconds in the last Indiana Jones. The movie can be terrible besides that but they will at least brought proper closure to the best part of Temple of Doom.
Who would have told Harrison Ford that the wee little kid in Temple of Doom would one day have an Oscar and he himself wouldn't!
Hold that L Harrison!
I really don't think Harrison cares lol
Crazy to think that alright
Yet everyone knows who Harrison Ford is and this poor guy will disappear - again - from public life very soon. That's how much an effing Oscar is worth.
@@susivarga7303 He's not going anywhere buddy.
He was jumping up and down in excitement like a little boy and I loved it 🥺❤️
Ke’s story is incredible. For years I wondered what happened to him. And his comeback story is one for the ages. He didn’t just hit a homerun, he knocked the ball out of the park. So happy for this guy. Loved him when he was a child actor and he’s even better now. Most importantly he proved to himself that sometimes you may choose to bury your gift, for a whole host of reasons but it doesn’t mean you can’t dig it back up and use it again.
It was like a little kid happy to share this achievement with their dad ❤
Or childhood hero.
Ariana's voice cracking when she announced his name got to me.
Same🥹🥹🥹
Either Ariana is one fantastic actress - or her sentiment is in fact genuine!
@@bonghunezhou5051 honestly, it’s hard not to be emotional for him so I definitely think it’s genuine. He’s a former refugee who left acting due to lack of opportunities despite being in 2 huge movies, only to return 20 years later and sweep the award shows for his incredible performance. The American Dream is often seen as fake but every now and then it comes true and to see it happen is truly incredible.
@@hkazu63 Wow I 100% agree with you, well said man 👍🏾
Was struggling to pronounce his name. Ahahahahahab
The evening was in part a reunion of sorts because not only were Ke Huy Quan and Harrison Ford there, but so were Steven Spielberg and Kate Kapshaw. All of then from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I recall seeing that film 39 years ago and I've been an Indiana Jones fan since the very first film. So it was great to see them all together in the same room again.❤💘🥲
I would have loved to see the 4 of them together
@@alisontopalian8592 Never forget the late Amrish Puri and Roshan Seth. They played the villains incredibly awesome! 😅😅
Seeing Ke Huey jump around on stage like that is the most endearing thing ever. I’ve never cried over the Oscar’s before but his win, and Michelle’s win absolutely broke me.
I just loved this part of the Oscars Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and Ke Huy Quan he just couldn't contain his excitement. I felt so happy for him. Goonies never say die 😄
Awww, I didn't know he played the little inventor in Goonies!
@@qweeknee4208 ❤️
This Oscars was amazing in such a positive light and heartwarming way. I cried the whole time.
Me too😢 and I haven't even seen the movies. I just wanted Brendan Fraser to win for his comeback and I love Jimmy Kimmel. I had no idea this was a comeback story too. I'm 65 and this is the best Oscars I've ever seen in my life. Crying the whole time. Then I was up til 4am watching highlights! 🤗✌️✨
Did you really? Cry, that is? The whole time? I read statements like this ALL the time, and I just have to wonder, what is wrong with all these over I emotional people. Or what is wrong with me? Perhaps it's just an expression and I'm not supposed to take it seriously. So again, I ask you, did you? Really? The whole time?
@@Yowza78 yeah I get it, like ... Brendan Fraser's speech was touchy and I could see myself shedding a tear o 2 there. But for the rest of the show? Naa, not really.
@@maureen669 I agree totally!!
He had me crying my eyes out, what a precious soul
I was concerned Harrison Ford was going to pass out when Ke huy Quan embraced him but I felt everything he said. To have Harrison Ford present the best picture Oscar as it reunited him with Ke huy Quan is serendipitous. So happy for him
somehow i think the producers of the show knew…
I’m convinced Ke Huy Quan is just a big child in a grown man’s body. The fanboy excitement he generates during this moment is unparalleled
The actors and actresses in this movie were so humble when they accepted their awards. Their wins were well deserved and Ke Huy Quan looks like the kindest, sweetest man. I got teary each time he went up on stage.
The whole Oscars of 2023 will never be forgotten. I have not seen such pure Joy in Every Way, and in with such beautiful repetition. I fell apart from so many tears of joy. This was simply a godsend. I love actors and their depth. That is something I miss everyday of my life!
Why do I tear up everytime I see this.. I am a fan of Ke from Indiana Jones,he was so cute. Huge fan of Harrison Ford and Steven is my most favorite Film Director 💜
I absolutely agree!! ❤️
He's like a 4 year old kid meeting his dad after a busy office week so precious 💞💞
Love how Ke Huy Quan still has a kind of innocence
Love how much Ke still looks up to Harrison. Fantastic
Like a childhood hero. Like when Indy and Short Round gave each other back their hats in Temple of Doom, then hugged....this hug was a long awaited reunion of that inspiring hug. Heartwarming back then, and heartwarming now.
Man I felt that hug, that was wonderful
The best part is, Ford seems almost as enthusiastic about the whole thing as Ke was. I say "almost" because, let's face it, Ke's energy at that moment would be hard for a lot of people to match, LOL
Watching the all grown up Short-Round giving that kiss to his Doctor Jones... I can't hold it in, man... So beautifully touching. 😭😭😭😭😭
Oh my goodness. I don't know how many times I have watched this and bawl like a baby each time. Such sweetness!
I just went back to watch clips of Ke Huy Quan with Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones Temple of Doom movie, and the scenes were incredible. They were so funny together. I remember watching the film as a 9 year old and loving it. Brings back sweet memories.
The chemistry ranging from "you cheat, Dr. Jones!" to "Indy, you're my best friend. I LOVE YOU!!" Always captivating!
I wanted to cry!!! I’m so happy ke won best supporting actor. He will always be part of my childhood memories of the 80s ❤❤❤❤
It was a great moment. He has made this award season so fun and joyful.
Ke Huy Quan has been such a ball of happiness, it’s been wonderful to watch and cry at every acceptance speech.
I couldn’t remember him when I first saw him. Didn’t recognize the name, then he opened his mouth, and his voice was unmistakable. Hasn’t changed since he was a kid. So amazingly cool. Very happy for him. Very well deserved.
The way he directs him to process the awarding, that's so humble 💛
Ke Huy Quan is not just such an amazing actor but such a wonderful and kind person! I’m so pleased he got the awards he did!
He is beyond talented, what a truly lovely human being. He is inspiring, warm and exceptional! Bless him. I cannot wait to see more from him. His range in talent and light fill any room with love!
Ke is just as adorable as he was as a kid. 🥰 So charming.
Thank you for showing the moment between Ford and Quan. It was a great show all around but Ke Hy Quan's enthusiasm, as well as Jamie Lee Curtis's, made the show so much more enjoyable. Couldn't help laugh and cry with them.
I have loved him since I was an 80s baby growing up with the Goonies and Indiana Jones.. so beyond happy for him
ke feels like such a genuinely warm and kind soul, I love how he has a childish (and I use this word on the best way possible) excitement about him, makes it feel like life is good and worth living
You're right; he does! (BTW, "childlike" might have been the word you were looking for.)
Honestly, Ke's energy is so infectious! LOVE him so much and I so happy to see his star on the rise!
It was a bit like Benini humbleness.
Best moment of the night. Ke is so genuine and sweet.
Pure magic. You could see the admiration they have for each other. Heartwarming. Best Oscars EVER.
That moment would have been a great movie, such a positive rebound from last year. Good for Ke. 👍❤️
Indy and Short Round together on the world's biggest stage at last together sharing this moment!
Watching Ke hugging and Harrison Ford together made me cry...what a legacy!!!!!
THIS year was such a feel-good Oscars🤗, mainly thanks to Brendan, Ke Huy, Jamie Lee, and Michelle. I loved that there is almost a shared cinematic universe between all of them: Ke Huy and Brendan in Encino Man, Brendan and Michelle in The Mummy 3, and of course, Ke Huy and Harrison in Indiana Jones 2. I would venture to guess that Ke Huy wasn't the only one transported back to his childhood when that heart-warming hug happened - most of us Goonies and Indy kids would been jumping for joy as well. And to see Steven like a proud dad in the audience? Cherry on the top.
true very cool!
I'M not crying - YOU'RE crying!! Just beyond touching! What a moment!!
So refreshing to see actors showing their true feelings of joy.
This guy is the purest soul i've ever seen!
Ke huay is such a wholesome fellow. Fully deserved too, best film I've seen in years.
Growing up with Indiana Jones and the Goonies, I am so here for these moments. I'm not crying, you are....
Watching this again made me cried. Such a triumph moment. So beautiful and such a warm reunion we all waited for.
Love seeing Ke and Harrison together it is so heart warming
I don't watch the Oscars much but this time I did and was overwhelmed with joy for Ke Hy Quan and Harrison Ford hugging. It was magical,just like the film they did together as well as the film Ke won an oscar for. Lovely.
Same. I watched it with my brother. It was incredible. I was all hearts.
The real telling moment of this clip to me was at 1:12 when Harrison tried to hand him the statue and Ke just stepped back and excitedly pointed to (I’m not sure if it was the director or the producer) excitement joy and humility all rolled into one moment.
He is such a bundle of positive energy, so pleased for him 💖🌟
Amazing how the 3 of them finally meet again after decades!! Really touching moment for them and also for us, the fans^^
Everyone likes to see someone who is humble and down to earth win something because people can relate to this person more. Glad Ke Hy Quan won. I thought he was fantastic in Temple of Doom!
Here I was expecting Brendan Fraser’s win to be the highlight. Little did I know we would get an Indy and Short Round reunion 😭. It makes my heart so happy!!
plus Brendan & Ke in Encino Man!
Key and Brendan winning big in the Oscars brings so much joy to the movie fan within me. I never thought I would see the day where "the kid" from Temple of Doom would win an Oscar. And I love that the character of Waymond was the reason. Faith in Humanity restored.
*This made my entire night. Ke truly deserved this and I'm so happy this incredible film and more importantly, the cast and crew, are getting the recognition they deserve!* ❤️
This was the best Oscars. EVER. I loved to see everyone. The gowns. All the winners were deserving
This was honestly the absolute best best reaction to winning an Oscar ive ever seen. Also I saw him on the round table yesterday and he was complimenting everyone ( every other actor at the table) my respect for this man has grown exponentially in two days.
I’m a grown ass man but I’m in tears seeing this clip
Same here
Wow so I’m emotional seeing this. Ke is so genuine!
The best moment of the Oscar's. No message, sincere, honest, amazing.
Last year’s Oscars was an unfriendly slap in the face, but this year’s Oscars was full hugs, brotherly love and triumph. ❤
I'm so happy for Ke . Well deserved 👏, ahh man there's no words just so much joy . That later on in life chance 🙌 a chance , one more chance and look what happens . Seeing Ke win and full of emotion brings me back to that inner kid in me cheering him on and still am . CONGRATULATIONS KE 🍾 🎊
Congratulations Ke!
This was one of the most wholesome oscar moments of all time. Too bad Harrison was not able to give Ke the best actor in a supporting role oscar directly, Such a missed opportunity.
Harrison Ford is too much of a Hollywood legend to present Best Supporting Actor.
@@Diapontios And that would be so obvious to reveal who's the winner.
@@michaelli7469 That too
It truly was a Temple of Doom reunion. Harrison Ford, Ke Huy Quan, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg, all in the same room.
Oh yeah.. i forgot Kate was there
Ke Huy Quan, he was a good child actor decades ago and brought back the good old 80s where he was part of the films The Goonies and Indian Jones. Good to see him doing great and won an award!
I think the best part is how normally Harrison ford just seems so grumpy. I think this was litterally the first time he looked happy for someone!
Loved this heartfelt hug from Indy and Short Round. 🥰🥰
Ke Huy Quan's ability to feel and emote unabashed pure joy is just the most wholesome thing. He jumps up and down and screams with happiness. It can't help but make me smile in happiness for him. What a perfect role Waymond was for him, it seems to be tied closely to Ke Huy as a person. ❤️👁️❤️ Love EEAAO so much.
That dude's smile is such child-like joy...such a happy day for Ke Huy Quan & everyone in that movie and his friends from the past. He will never forget this night nor shall we..congrats!
first time in a lonnnnng time I watched Oscars with the anticipation...was a great show and good to see Ke get it!
Got tears. I'm so happy. Let this sustain me through this day...
as a Indiana Jones fan, Ke Huy Quan's comeback is definitely something to bring back the past on Hollywood. That very moment with Quan and Harrison Ford shows how much the co-stars truly care each other. And their reunion is the biggest of all other reunions
Harrison Ford was only nominated for an Oscar Award for Witness that he didn’t win. Noble of Mr. Ford to honor the win of his costar.
First Stephen Spielberg expresses his admiration for Ke Huy Quan's Golden Globe win and now Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones himself, has come forth with similar feelings for Ke's Supporting Actor Oscar and watching as the film Ke worked in win's Best Picture. Wow, it's like two past father-figures showing how proud they are of someone they considered a son accomplishing big time success for himself.
I’m so happy that they were able to have a reunion! 🎉
I think this Oscars after the past few has returned back to its fun, digified and spectacular ways again.
Yes! 😇
Short Round and Indiana reunion 2023. This got me in my feels
Man that's awesome. I'm kinda choking up just seeing their enthusiasm. In my mind when their jumping up and down he's saying "Dr. Jones! Dr. Jones!"
Oscar knows how to make the show. Lovely reunion.
