Rappler's Ruben Nepales was backstage at the Oscars! Here are the most memorable post-win interviews.
In her Instagram story, Dolly humorously posted a photo of light snacks, including Raisinets and mints, arrayed on the rail of the balcony where she and herMay pa i-snacks si Mayor dito kina Kuya OscarOn the champagne-hued carpet, Dolly, who wore a blue ribbon on her black power suit in solidarity with refugees around the world, and Ruben were interviewed by Laverne Cox of Michelle Yeoh backstage at the 95th Oscars on Sunday, March 12, 2023.
“We deserve to be heard, to be seen, to have the equal opportunity so we can have a seat at the table. That’s all we’re asking for. Give us an opportunity. Let us prove we are worth it.” “So light that fire in your soul and stay on the path. Believe. Dare to dream. Because if you don’t dream, it’s impossible. Nothing is impossible. Look at me, I’m here.”
“I swear to God, it’s you , all of you because you made it interesting. You made it wild and wacky to people who hadn’t had an opportunity to watch it.” “This movie has helped to open hearts between families, whether it’s husband and wife, daughters and mothers, daughters and fathers, but just simply family. And we never give up on each other. So I thank all of you for helping us do that.”
“Actually, the recent thing that she asked me to do is don’t wear pants to the Oscars,” she added about her mom, Janet Yeoh. The mother looked equally glamorous in a video, posted byPlay Video “So when I decided to get back into acting, which was three years ago, the very first thing that I wanted to do was to go back to my given birth name, and tonight, to see Ariana open that envelope and say ‘Ke Huy Quan,’ that was a really special moment for me.”
“And during one of the commercial breaks, I ran up to Steven Spielberg and he gave me a big hug. He put his arms around me and he said, ‘Ke, you are now an Oscar-winning actor.’ And hearing him say that meant the world to me. I still cannot believe it.” “And I’m just so grateful. I’ve said this, maybe some of you have heard it – I didn’t think any of this would be possible. And I’m, God, it has been so crazy. All of a sudden, my mind is drifting back to the days when I lost my health insurance during the pandemic, when I couldn’t get a job.”
Queried about being among over 60 women Oscar nominees this year, Jamie Lee Curtis reflected, “Surreal and proud, and obviously, I would like to see a lot more women being nominated so there’s gender parity in all the areas, in all the branches. I think we’re getting there. We’re not anywhere near there.”
On whether she thinks her famous late actor parents, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, were looking at her tonight, Jamie said, “Let me just be honest. I don’t believe in a world where there are a bunch of people looking down on us.” “So going to make a film with this gravity just reinforced how important it is to perform as if it’s the first and last time you ever will.”Daniel Quan and Daniel Scheinert pose backstage with the Oscar® for Directing during the live ABC telecast of the 95th Oscars® at Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 12, 2023.

“She’s always chasing after new dreams and she’s always doing a really good job of it. And then getting bored and moving on to the next thing. She’s someone who sacrificed a lot for her kids.” “But now, obviously, it paid off. So that’s the kind of mother my mom was. And yeah, this film is a tribute to that.”
On their film as a surprising yet profound statement on mental health and depression, Kwan said, “I think we are in a mental health crisis right now, especially the younger generation. They don’t have much to look forward to. When you talk to students these days, there’s a bleakness that is kind of all-pervasive.”
“We were really sweet kids but we would get in trouble a lot. I remember those moments as like, again, the power of creativity and the way it can pull us out of these really dark places.” “And I would encourage us all in this room – we all work in entertainment, we all work in information – at the end of the road, there’s someone who reads that, and there’s an implication of their mental health.”
