Daniel Kaluuya has used a lead role to win a best supporting actor Oscar

Daniel Kaluuya used a lead role to win a best supporting actor Oscar. He’ll take it. Kaluuya won his first Academy Award on Sunday night for playing one of the two title roles in “Judas and the Black Messiah.” “I’d like to thank my mom,” Kaluuya said, as his mother teared up while watching. “You gave me everything. You gave me your factory settings. So I could stand at my fullest height.” Kaluuya played Chicago Blank Panther leader Fred Hampton, who was killed in an FBI raid in 1969.
