Here's How The 2023 Academy Award Winners Celebrated
The 95th Academy Awards finally happened on Sunday, giving both filmmakers and actors a chance to rest after relentless awards campaigns. And while they all say it's an honor just to be nominated, and it certainly is, it's probably just a little bit more fun to be an Oscar Winner at an Oscars afterparty.

Ke Huy Quan
Another best speech of the night, Quan's performance as several different multiversal incarnations of Waymond Wang made him a an easy frontrunner for the Supporting Actor Oscar. He's pictured here with Ana de Armas and his former The Goonies co-star, Jeff Cohen, now an entertainment attorney, who negotiated Quan's EEAAO contract.
"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," Quan poignantly said at the end of his speech.
