Teacher shouted out by Everything Everywhere All At Once director at the Oscars react

Everything Everywhere All At Once was the big winner at the Oscars on Sunday night, taking home seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, though one other win included a special shout-out.

Writers-directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan won Best Original Screenplay Oscar, with Scheinert taking to the stage and joking, 'I had a fantasy of winning an award and going up and telling off all the teachers that gave my brother and I detention.'

He admitted he was joking, instead choosing to showcase, 'teachers who changed my life, most of them public school teachers,' naming teachers such as, 'Ms. Dummier, Mr. Toole, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Chambers, Madame George' and more, adding they, 'educated me, inspired me and taught me to be less of a butt-head.'

Scheinert, 35, a Birmingham, Alabama native, certainly surprised at least one of those teachers, Kay Dummier, who revealed to Good Morning America on Monday that she was, 'watching live' when he gave her the shout-out.

'When he said my name I nearly flipped. Wow,' Dummier told GMA of the shout-out on Oscar Sunday.

Dummier said she taught Scheinert when he was in the fourth grade at Oak Mountain Elementary and Middle School in Birmingham, Alabama.

'I remember him, but I don't remember doing anything special with him that I don't do for all kids, so I don't really know ... the impression I made,' the now-retired teacher said, adding, 'I treated him like all my other neat little kids.'

She added that she didn't know Scheinert was working in Hollywood until her grandson saw his film Everything Everywhere All At Once.

When she learned that his film was nominated for 11 Oscars, she made a point to watch the telecast to, 'make sure he got something.'

Scheinert also used his speech to thank his parents for, 'not squashing' his creativity as a child, with Dummier admitting she was, 'tickled,' that he thanked teachers and parents in his speech.

'I'm really impressed with him that he thanked public school teachers, because where do they think they get their start?' she said. 

'And the next time he got [an award], he thanked his parents first, so I thought, you know, this guy has got his head on straight,' Dummier added.

Other teachers he thanked taught the Oscar winner at Shades Valley High School, a public school in Irondale, Alabama.
