94-year-old James Hong who played a supporting role in the movie, accepted his award and closed out the night by talking about Asian American representation and how far they’ve come in the last several years in the industry. The plot of Everything Everywhere All at Once revolves around a Chinese American immigrant who is trying to keep the universe save from an evil being bent on destroying the multiverse. She must connect with parallel version of herself while also being audited by the IRS. Hong talked about how Asian characters used to be played by white people with their eyes taped up and who mimicked an accent. He talks about the progress that has been made just by them being on the stage accepting the awards.

Other big winners of the night include Abbott Elementary taking home Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and The White Lotus winning Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
