Golden Globes 2021 has been one of the most anticipated events of the year, with many top nominated actors being in the run to win the prestigious awards. The event has been aired on television quite recently, and it has been revealed that ace actor Daniel Kaluuya has been felicitated with an award. The actor has won his maiden Golden Globe award for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah. Due to the pandemic, Kaluuya could not collect the award in person and had to address his victory virtually.

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.
