00:00My mom is 84 years old, and she's at home watching.
00:05Mom, I just won an Oscar.
00:09My journey started on a boat.
00:21I spent a year in a refugee camp.
00:24And somehow, I ended up here on Hollywood's biggest stage.
00:29They say stories like this only happen in the movies.
00:37I cannot believe it's happening to me.
00:40This, this is the American dream.
00:50Thank you so much.
00:51Thank you so much to the Academy for this honor of a lifetime.
00:55Thank you to my mom for the sacrifices she made to get me here.
00:59To my little brother, David, who calls me every day just to remind me to take good care
01:06of myself.
01:07I love you, brother.
01:08I owe everything to the love of my life.
01:12My wife, Echo, who month after month, year after year for 20 years, told me that one
01:26day, one day, my time will come.
01:32Dreams are something you have to believe in.
01:35I almost gave up on mine.
01:38To all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive.
01:52Thank you so much for welcoming me back.
01:55I love you.
01:56Thank you, thank you, thank you!
