All the winners of the Academy Awards

All the winners of acting awards had never won an Oscar before tonight, and in some cases their careers seemed a long way from this kind of recognition, at least until a few years ago.

Brendan Fraser is now 54 and disappeared from the scene for almost a decade after starring in various commercial successes between the 90s and 2000s, such as The Mummy. With the part of Charlie in The Whale by Darren Aronofksy has however won five individual awards in the last year. Ke Huy Quan, on the other hand, was mostly known for his child roles in Indiana Jones it’s us Goonies. Since the 1980s he has starred in just a handful of films, until his role as Waymond Wang in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

The two winners of the female categories instead come from two long and successful careers, but they had to wait a long time before being able to win the most coveted awards in cinema. Jamie Lee Curtis won his first Oscar at the age of 64 – moreover the first nomination received – after having acted in about fifty films from 1978 to today, and recently with increasingly central and appreciated parts. The same goes for Michelle Yeoh, who at 60 became the first Asian actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actor.
