Daniel Kaluuya took home the Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah during Sunday night's 2021 Oscars.
The actor beat out fellow nominees Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7), Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami), Paul Raci (Sound of Metal)and LaKeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah).
"Man, thank you, God. I can’t be here without your guidance and your protection," the actor began. After thanking his family and friends, Kaluuya also recognized his Judas co-stars. "I share this honor with the gift that is LaKeith Stanfield. The light that is Dominique Fishback."
In his acceptance speech, the actor took a moment to honor Chairman Fred Hampton, whom he portrayed in 'Judas and the Black Messiah': "What a man. How blessed that we lived in a lifetime that he existed."
