Ke Huy Quan walked the Oscars red carpet in a classic Giorgio Armani tuxedo—with one special accessory. The Best Supporting Actor nominee wore a black flower brooch designed by Fred Leighton on his lapel, which he paired with a smaller diamond-shaped brooch. He also accessorized with an Omega watch.
This awards season, Quan has leaned into brooches. In Everything Everywhere All at Once, which is up for 11 awards tonight, Quan plays Waymond Wang in many different universes.
In the main universe, Waymond sticks googly eyes all over the Wang home and their laundromat, which initially frustrates his wife Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh). By the end of the movie—spoiler alert!—Evelyn embraces the silly sticker, and her husband's perspective of seeing life through a kinder lens. Waymond's googly eyes bring joy, and levity, to existence. So, Evelyn he sticks one on her forehead for her final fight scene.
Quan previously wore a googly eye pin on his lapel to the Golden Globe Awards (above, where he took home the award for Best Supporting Actor), the BAFTA Film Awards Nominees Party, the Oscar Nominees Luncheon, and the London Critics Circle Film Awards.
At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, he swapped out the googly eye for a rock with googly eyes, another reference to Everything Everywhere All at Once:
At the Film Independent Spirit Awards, he wore an everything bagel on his lapel, another film reference:
But not all his jewelry this awards season has been explicitly connected to his film; at the BAFTAs, wore a mother-of-pearl flower brooch by Stephen Dweck.
The Oscars cap off a remarkable awards season for Quan, who returned to acting after 20 years for this role. "I grew up in a very traditional Chinese family," Quan told W Magazine in January. "So, I worked hard to keep a lot of my emotions within. But I think I’ve cried more in the last six months than I cried in the previous 20 years. Hearing all these wonderful comments from people about how much they’ve missed me on the screen and their warm embrace of my return has made me very emotional."
