It was announced a while back that Kaluuya had been nominated for the category of ‘Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role’. Veteran actor Laura Dern was presenting the award to Daniel, when there was a technical glitch and the opening speech of Daniel was not heard properly. Dern addressed the issue and the glitch was fixed immediately. Kaluuya started his message once again, while making a comic jibe this time by saying, “You’re doing me dirty, you’re doing me dirty”. The actor was met with a strong cheer from the audience, who had a limited presence due to the given guidelines.
