She then barreled towards her Malaysian co-star and planted a big ol' pash on her lips.
Curtis then took the stage to accept her first-ever SAG award, stirring the crowd into a rousing chant of 'Michelle Yeoh! Michelle Yeoh!'.
These gal pals are supportive Queens that celebrate each other's victories, and we love to see it.
Curtis said as she accepted her award: "Michelle Yeoh, I love you, I love you, I love you!"
Yeoh watched on in tears.
We adore this.
Yeoh took home the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor category for her role as Evelyn in Everything Everywhere All at Once, a quiet, downtrodden woman who ends the film as a no-holds-bar badass.
At the start of her best female actor speech, the Malaysian star said: "I think if I speak, my heart will explode."
"This is not just for me, this is for every girl who looks like me," she said.
"Thank you for giving me a seat at the table."
The multiverse mega-flick has cleaned up this award season, leaving with several big awards under their belts.
As well as Curtis and Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan became the first Asian man to win best supporting actor.
Curtis also came out swinging in defense of Ariana DeBose’s rap at the 2023 BAFTAS.
Well, the West Side Story star made headlines over her divisive opening performance at the awards ceremony.
DeBose treated us to a rendition of Eurythmics hit 'Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves', adding in a rap part way through to call out several female stars in the audience.
She told Deadline: “I am unclear as to what the f**k people are on about, and for me, it was joyous, celebratory, sisterly, hot, spicy, and she’s just so incredibly talented.
"I don’t know what, the one thing I know is that it was shocking to me, you know, it’s in a theater, it’s not a taping, it’s not at tables, and so you’re in a theater.
She added: "None of us knew what she was doing, so when they cut to us, I was into it, but by the time it got to me, I was into the music, and I was having a great time."
