“Everything Everywhere All at Once” stars Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ke Huy Quan and their other cast members were big winners — and the movie broke a big record — at the 2023 SAG Awards on Sunday night.
Their out-there multiverse flick swept four of the top film awards, including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, along with individual acting awards for Yeoh, Curtis and Quan.
Their collection of victories means that “Everything Everywhere All at Once” also reached a historic high point: It received the most SAG Award wins ever for a film, a representative for the organization confirmed to The Post.

“Every one of you knows the journey, the roller coaster ride, the ups and downs. But most importantly, we never give up. I thank you for your love, for your support, because I know I’m up against titans, rightly so,” an emotional Michelle Yeoh said before dropping an F-bomb at the podium due to her excitement. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is not just for me. This is for every little girl who looks like me. Thank you for giving me a seat at the table because so many of us need this. We want to be seen — we want to be heard.” Getty Images
WINNER: Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”)
A tearful "The White Lotus" star Jennifer Coolidge noted her "remarkable" year as a star of the show. "I just want to say, I want you all to know that I am just so grateful, so grateful," she said before acknowledging series creator Mike White, who she suggested prompted her to "view life" in a different way. She also retold a story of her father lying — which she said was normally "impossible" for him to do — in order to get her out of a first-grade class to see a Charlie Chaplin film festival in Massachusetts, which she revealed led to her lifelong love of moviemaking.

Sally Field, 76, was honored with the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. Her "Spider-Man" franchise co-star Andrew Garfield, 39, presented the “Flying Nun” legend with the honor. He called her a "north star for all of us," as well as a "pioneer" and "a gangsta," noting that the Oscar- and Emmy-winner Field has "won so much s–t.”
Field has amassed an enviable film track record with “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Steel Magnolias,” “Forrest Gump,” “Gidget” and “Smokey and the Bandit.” She most recently starred in “80 For Brady” alongside Rita Moreno, 91, and Lily Tomlin, 83, and Jane Fonda, 85.
“Onstage, it was one place I could be really me more than any other place," she said of her decades-long career in her acceptance speech. Field jokingly rattled off her broad list of roles in which she flew on wires, surfed in the ocean rode horses, drove fast cars, and much more. “They opened and revealed parts of myself I would not have known otherwise,” she said of her performances. “I’ve worked all my life … In all those 60 years, there is not a day that I don’t feel quietly thrilled to call myself an actor.”
"This is a really emotional moment for me," a tearful Ke Huy Quan said in his acceptance remarks. "Recently I was told if i were to win tonight, I would become the very first Asian actor to win in the category. When I heard this, I quickly realized that this moment no longer belongs to just me. It also belongs to everyone who has asked for change." Recalling that he stepped away from acting many years ago due to few opportunities for Asian actors, he acknowledged his influential peers in the audience. "So thank you so much to everyone who contributed to these changes." He then addressed unseen performers still awaiting recognition in Hollywood: "Please keep on going because the spotlight will one day find you," he said. Getty Images
