Lupita Nyong’o has been awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as “patsey” in the movie “twelve years as a slave,” which was directed by Steve McQueen. The Oscars, which are considered to be the most prestigious film awards, are watched by around 40 million people all over the world. The victory comes after Lupita Nyong’o was victorious at the Screen Actors Guild Awards for the same honor. She has also been awarded the award for Best Actress in a Supporting Performance by the Broadcast Film Critics Association for the role, in addition to a variety of regional honors from critics and organizations in Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Phoenix, and other cities. cosmopolitan ingénue lupita nyong’o, who is 30 years old, was born in mexico to kenyan parents (her father is the politician peter anyang’ nyong’o). Her mother is kenyan. She moved to the United States when she was a teenager to attend hampshire college and yale school of theater. She had spent her youth in Kenya. Amazingly, “12 Years a Slave” is her first film, and it was a “breakout” part that she won just as she was about to graduate from Yale. The Kenyan woman has said that she has always had the feeling that she had an instinct for acting, which she characterizes as “strange and mystical.” However, in order to fulfill her ambition, she required the tools that were offered by drama school. Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard University referred to the movie as “the greatest picture on slavery ever produced from the point of view of a slave.” The primary actor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Lupita Nyong’o, who plays the concubine of a sadistic slave-master, both provide outstanding performances that are worthy of Oscar nominations in the film 12 Years a Slave. The movie “12 Years a Slave” was nominated for nine Oscars and won all of them. The film does not pull any punches when it comes to presenting the unimaginable brutality and savagery of deranged white plantation owners, which includes the lynching, flogging, and raping of black slaves. The creative sophistication of the cinematography powerfully portrays the casual cruelty, complete helplessness, and repetitive boredom of existence on a plantation. This year has been a watershed year and may be considered historic for the descendants of Africa and its diaspora because of the impressive performances given by the principal actors of African descent in many films and television shows. At the 86th Annual Academy Awards, the film “12 Years a Slave” was awarded the Oscar for Best Picture, making it the night’s big winner. The movie ended up winning a total of three prizes thanks to the victories of Lupita Nyong’o for best supporting actress and John Ridley for best adapted screenplay. – visit the following website to learn more: http://www.kuzabiashara.co.ke/
