Daniel Kaluuya Completes Awards Season Sweep with Oscar Win for Best Supporting Actor IndieWire 1 hr ago
Daniel Kaluuya won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor thanks to his performance in “Judas and the Black Messiah,” completing an awards season sweep that started with a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe win and extended to victories at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Critics Choice Awards, and the BAFTA Film Awards. Kaluuya is the only 2021 acting winner at the Oscars to sweep the awards season. Kaluuya won the Oscar over Lakeith Stanfield (also from “Judas and the Black Messiah”), Sacha Baron Cohen (“The Trial of the Chicago 7”), Paul Raci (“Sound of Metal”), and Leslie Odom Jr. (“One Night in Miami”).
During the ceremony,
Get Out actor Daniel Kaluuya took home the Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role as activist Fred Hampton in
Judas and the Black Messiah. The Shaka King-directed film was also nominated in several other categories, including Best Original Song for “Fight For You” by H.E.R. which wound up winning.
Along with co-collaborators Dernst Emile II and Tiara Thomas, H.E.R. excitedly made her way up to the podium the moment her name was called.
“I am so, so, so grateful, not only to win but to be a part of such an important, important story,” she said during her acceptance speech. “Thank you to the Academy I’ve always wanted to say that! I have to thank God for giving us these gifts. And my parents, my beautiful mother who’s here with me today and my father at home, all those days of listening to Sly & the Family Stone and Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye really paid off, so thank you, Dad.”
