Quan detailed his journey from a year in a refugee camp to child acting in his speech saying, \"Somehow, I ended up here on Hollywood’s biggest stage. They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it is happening to me. This -- this -- is the American dream.\"
From \"The Goonies\" to the now best picture-winning futuristic film from the studio A24, Quan delivered a poignant message as he concluded his thank yous.
\"Dreams are something you have to believe in, I almost gave up on mine. To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive. Thank you so much for welcoming me back -- I love you.\"
