Tonight at the Oscars, Everything Everywhere All at Once‘s Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu will compete for major acting awards, with Quan almost a sure thing to win Best Supporting Actor. In two months, however, all three will reunite on Disney+, in Destin Daniel Cretton’s American Born Chinese.
