Ugandan UK based actor Daniel Kaluuya has scooped an Oscar Award for his role in the movie Judas and the Black Messiah.
The award was given to him in the category best supporting actor. The British actor has won the Academy Award for his portrayal of Black Panthers chairman Fred Hampton
Kaluuya, 32, a British actor who rose to international fame after his starring role in Jordan Peele’s Get Out, was favourite for the prize, having won in the same category at a slew of preceding awards, including the Golden Globes and the Baftas.
Kaluuya paid tribute to his mother, who was watching at the BFI, who he said "gave me my factory settings so I can stand at my fullest height".
But she could be seen asking "What is he talking about?" when her excited son told the global audience of millions: "My mum met my dad, they had sex, it's amazing. I'm here. I'm so happy to be alive so I'm going to celebrate that tonight."
