Ke Huy Quan gave the 80th annual Golden Globe awards the redemption moment it so desperately needed.

Early in the night, Carmichael and a few presenters seemed to take their time, eating up precious minutes and throwing the show off schedule. DeMille award – a lifetime achievement honor for one of the most influential comics in film or TV. To be honest, I was hoping Murphy would speak longer during his acceptance speech for the Cecil B. Which left a feeling that the Globes have only just begun to make up for their past missed opportunities. Setting up a situation where you're rushing big winners through their moment helps no one – especially the onscreen pianist unfairly blamed for the music. Producer/director Ryan Murphy, accepting the Carol Burnett award for TV achievement, used his acceptance speech to highlight LGBTQ performers he had worked with who had been pressured to hide their identities, like Pose stars Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Jeremy Pope and Billy Porter. And Carmichael never really found his groove after that awkward, biting, sometimes funny-sometimes-not monologue – telling the audience to be quiet so much, he sounded more like a hall monitor than somebody trying to encourage everyone to have a good time. He even dropped a few great lines like: "One minute, you're making mint tea at home, the next, you're invited to be the Black face of an embattled white organization." "Someone said to me: 'You speak English?'...I said, 'Yeah, the flight here was about 13 hours long, so I learned.'" And that it's still Hollywood's coolest party - the tipsy, uninhibited yin to the stuffy, traditional yang of The Oscars. Worse, some of Carmichael's attempts at edgy humor weren't quite funny enough to get past the edge to be entertaining. The Globes tried mightily to showcase diversity.

The Everything Everywhere All at Once star has won his first Golden Globe after making a sensational return to acting after more than two decades.

and the overwhelmingly positive reaction to his performance, Quan found himself in demand after more than two decades, with many within and outside Hollywood touched by his sensational return and humble nature.

Then, more than 30 years after his turn in Indiana Jones, Quan returned to the screen after he was approached by filmmaking partners Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert – collectively known as the Daniels – to star in their upcoming feature Everything Everywhere All at Once. Shortly after securing the role, Quan was offered a supporting role in Goonies-esque adventure film Finding ʻOhana for After cementing himself in pop culture thanks to two iconic performances, he found himself out of the limelight for more than three decades, before a sudden and overwhelming resurgence in 2022. He has won countless awards from film societies and critics associations for the role which has catalysed his return to Hollywood. The two roles immortalised Quan as a figure synonymous with Hollywood cinema of the time, but in the decade that followed, his acting career somewhat dried up.

The Banshees of Inisherin was the big winner on the night, taking home three awards for best film – musical or comedy, best screenplay, and best actor in a musical or comedy for Irish star Colin Farrell.

Ke Huy Quan hailed Steven Spielberg as the reason behind his Best Supporting Actor award at the Golden Globes.

For now though, many fans have been questioning whether Quan would be up for reprising any of his old roles, and it is certainly something he would consider. As I grew older, I started to wonder if that was it, if that was just luck. When I started my career as a child actor in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, I felt so lucky to have been chosen. For so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer; no matter what I did, I would never surpass what I achieved as a kid.

I said, “Yes, Indie.” And he said, “Come here.” He pulled me close to him and gave me the biggest hug. He stared at me, and I thought, He thinks I’m a fan, and he’s gonna tell me to stay away. I was scheduled to go audition for them that afternoon, so I had to go to sleep. I read the script and I thought the role of Waymond was written for me. I was scheduled to attend the Disney D23 event, and I was told Harrison Ford was gonna be there. Yes, I knew from the very beginning, which made me even more nervous, because I’ve been a fan of Michelle Yeoh for many years, and I always wanted to work with her. So many people come up to me and say how much they love the movie, and I’m very proud to say that our movie is A24’s most successful movie. I looked out the window and the sun was rising, and I was just imagining all these things I wanted to put into this character. I screamed and I jumped so high. And I got the part!
