Everything Everywhere All At Once nearly swept the film categories at the 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night as Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan were all recognized with Brendan Fraser enjoying his comeback moment with a tearful speech as he earned a top honor.
The American absurdist comedy-drama film also earned the top award of the night Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the star-studded event which took place place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, California.
The film beat out star-studded casts including: Babylon, The Banshees Of Inisherin, The Fabelmans, and Women Talking.
Yeoh, Curtis, and Quan all gave brief speeches before allowing ‘patriarch and friend’ James Hong to take the mic for most of the final acceptance speech.
The 94-year-old acting legend said: ‘I got my first SAG card 70 years ago. My first movie was with Clark Gable but back in those days I have to tell you the leading role was played by guys with their eyes taped up and they talked like this because the producer said Asians are not good enough and they are not box office, but look at us now, huh?
‘We’re not all Chinese but Jamie Lee is a good Chinese name… I feel very akin to her and I’ve never had such a good time as I did with these jerks on the movie.’
The film is centered around a middle-aged Chinese immigrant named Evelyn Wang (played by Yeoh) who is swept up into an insane adventure in which she alone can save existence by exploring other universes and connecting with the lives she could have led.
Yeoh, 60, became the first ever Asian actress to earn Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role as she triumphed over: Cate Blanchett -Tar, Viola Davis – The Woman King, Ana de Armas – Blonde, and Danielle Deadwyler – Till.
Earlier in the night Jamie Lee Curtis, 64, planted a big smooch on Yeoh shortly after her name was announced as the winner of Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.

The wild antics come after Aubrey was caught seemingly losing her temper on stage while her fellow co-stars accepted the gong for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.
Despite her hit TV show earning one of the evening’s most competitive categories, the 38-year-old actress was accused of looking ‘annoyed’ and ‘p**sed off’.
While it is unclear what upset the Parks and Recreation alum, Gries was seen whispering something into her ear that many believed could have been about him warning her that she was about to suffer a wardrobe malfunction.
Following their chat, she immediately adjusted her daring gold gown with a criss-cross halter neckline, which barely contained her cleavage.
Her moody behavior coincided with F. Murray Abraham’s speech, which ended with him sending a ‘a prayer out to the earthquake victims of Syria and Turkey and a prayer for peace in Ukraine and Russia’ and shouting Union forever!’
As the audience erupted in applause and the White Lotus cast congratulated each other with big hugs, Plaza appeared to awkwardly mouth ‘Jesus Christ’ under her breath.
Along with her on-screen husband, Will Sharpe, she was one of the first of the cast to exit the stage as many of her costars were still embracing each other.
Her actions confused many fans on social media as they took to Twitter to discuss her baffling mannerisms.
‘What was she annoyed about?’ one Twitter user asked while another one inquired ‘why’ she was ‘so mad to win for White Lotus.
A third insisted that the performed ‘seemed REALLY p**sed off’ and that ‘there was something real odd about her on stage with the White Lotus team.’
‘She even exited the stage quick and alone rather than staying with the cast,’ they continued.
Another couldn’t help but point out that it seemed that Plaza ‘looked like she haaaaated being up there and immediately ran off stage while everyone in the cast was congratulating and hugging each other.’
The White Lotus was the biggest winner on the television side as the HBO series earned Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in addition to a Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series win for Jennifer Coolidge.
The 61-year-old acting veteran got emotional while recalling a childhood anecdote during her acceptance speech at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild awards.
