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.
Daniel dedicated his win to his mother, his sister, his niece and his “friends back home”. He said that “it takes a village” to make a film and started thanking the film’s cast and crew along with the “General”, Shaka King, who directed the film. He said that he “gave everything” to play the character of Fred Hampton, and how the character made him think about himself and how it made him “grow as a man”. Among the celebrities who were seen applauding him were Sacha Baron Cohen and Jared Leto, among others.
Daniel Kaluuya has worked in a number of successful films in his acting career. Some of these include Johnny English Reborn, Black Panther, Queen & Slim and more. His most popular role came in the film Get Out, which released in 2017. He has also appeared in popular television shows such as Black Mirror.
