The 95th Academy Awards saw historic wins yesterday as science fiction family adventure “Everything Everywhere All At Once” brought home seven Oscars including Best Picture, Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Actor and Actress in a Supporting Role.

“Thank you. Thank you,” said Best Actress winner Michelle Yeoh, who won for her role as overworked mom Evelyn Wang. “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibility. This is proof that dreams dream big, and dreams do come true. And, ladies, don’t let anybody ever tell you, you are ever past your prime. Never give up.”

Yeoh makes history is the first Asian Best Actress winner in Academy Award history.

“I have to dedicate this to my mom, all the moms in the world because they are really the superheroes, and without them, none of us will be here tonight,” Yeoh continued. “She is 84, and I’m taking this home to her.  She is watching right now in Malaysia Kao with my family and friends. I love you guys. I’m bringing this home to you. And also, to my extended family in Hong Kong where I started my career. Thank you for letting me stand on your shoulders, giving me a leg up so that I can be here today.”

The “Everything Everywhere All At Once” cast rallied behind Producer Jonathan Wang as he accepted the award on behalf of his colleges for Best Picture.

“This is incredible,” Wang said. “There is no movie without our brilliant and bighearted cast and crew, but not just these beautiful souls here, also, up there and in Little Tokyo. We see you. So this award, it’s ours. I really it is intimidating speaking up here. Let me just tell you that. I never thought I would get to say this, so I will say it with one voice with all these people, ‘Thank you to the Academy.'”

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” earned more Oscar wins with both supporting role categories.

“To all of the people who have supported the genre movies that I’ve made for all these years, the thousands and hundreds and thousands of people, we just won an Oscar. Together,” said Jaime Lee Curtis, who won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role as Tax Auditor Deirdre Beaubeirdre in ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once.’ “And my mother and my father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories, I just won an Oscar.”

Former child actor Ke Huy Quan, who started out in 80s classics like “Indiana Jones” and “The Goonies,” won the Best Actor in a Supporting Role honor for his portrayal of wayward Waymond Wang in “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”

“My journey started on a boat,” said Quan. “I spent year in a refugee camp. And somehow I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage. They say, ‘Stories like this only happen in the movies.’ I cannot believe it’s happening to me. This this is the American dream.”

Fan favorite Brendan Fraser won the Best Actor honor for his role as Charlie in “The Whale,” a film about an overweight teacher attempting to reconnect with his estranged teen daughter, played by Sadie Sink.

“I feel a bit light in the head,” Fraser said during an interview backstage. “This [Academy Award] is actually kind of heavy. One arm might be longer than the other by the end of the evening. This has been incredibly rewarding and affirming, and it’s given me a lesson in humility and gratitude. What did I hear when I first heard my name? I heard my name but I thought, ‘that can’t be right.’ But it was, so I guess I should get up there and say something quick.”
