Quan, 51, said he approached Spielberg and his wife Capshaw at their seats during a commercial break following his win on Sunday night, telling Variety it was the first time he had seen Capshaw in 40 years. He then revealed a sweet moment he shared with Spielberg, who placed his hands on his shoulders, and told him:"You are now an Oscar-winning actor."
Speaking to Variety about the emotional moment, Quan said,"When he opened that envelope and read the title, it made our win for best picture even more special. And when I ran up onstage, I pointed at him and he pointed back at me and I gave him a hug. I just couldn’t help myself. I just want to shower this man with all my love. I gave Harrison Ford a big kiss on the cheek."
"Steven has given me so much -- not one movie, but two movies," he explained."And they were the first ones to put an Asian face in a big Hollywood movie." Quan was presented the award by last year's Best Supporting Actor and Actress winners Troy Kotsur and, whose voice broke with emotion as she read Quan's name. The actor received a standing ovation, and was already in tears when he took the stage.
