Jamie Lee Curtis planted a big smooch on her co-star Michelle Yeoh at the 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday - and it's the most heartwarming thing ever.

The Everything Everywhere All at Once cast was overjoyed as Curtis' name was read out as the winner for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for her role in the absurdist comedy-drama.

The Freaky Friday star, 64, celebrated her first-ever SAG Awards win by giving Yeoh a big kiss, while another co-star and fellow nominee Stephanie Hsu celebrated the honor from her seat.

Check out the moment Jamie Lee Curtis kisses Michelle Yeoh:

Curtis went on to pay tribute to her pal Yeoh in her speech, saying that the Malaysian actress was the reason she signed on for a role in the "weird" movie, which sees the latter star as a no-nonsense Chinese immigrant who gets caught up in an emotional yet also hilarious adventure.

"Where is Michelle Yeoh??" she asked the audience, per ET Online. "I say 'Michelle.' You say 'Yeoh!'...Michelle Yeoh, I love you I love you I love you!"

Also in her speech, Curtis - who is the daughter of Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh - referenced the fact that she is one of Hollywood's so-called "nepo babies."

"I know you look at me and think 'Nepo baby,'" she said during her acceptance speech. "But the truth of the matter is that I’m 64 years old and this is just amazing."

She went on to say: "I'm wearing the wedding ring my father gave my mother – they hated each other by the way – but my sister Kelly and I were born from love and my father was from Hungary and my mother was from Denmark and they had nothing, but they became monstrous stars in this industry they loved so much."

Curtis' mother is perhaps best known for starring in the 1960 horror thriller Psycho while her father was one of the most recognizable faces in cinema in the 1950s and 60s, having appeared in hit movies such as The Defiant Ones, Some Like It Hot, and Operation Petticoat.

"My parents were actors and I married an actor," Jamie continued. "I love acting, I love the job we get to do, I love being part of a cast and a crew, I love what we do with each other, it's a beautiful job."
