Londoner won rave reviews for his depiction of Ruben Stone in Sound Of Metal. The American actor Mahershala Ali was the first Muslim to win an Oscar in 2017. Ahmed tweeted today: 'Wow! I'm honoured to be nominated by my fellow actors'.

Oh yes must make sure they are included in the mix. Surely they know they are to make the industry look PC so pick you out of a hat to appease Coloured People They don’t really enjoy your acting You just fit into the slot easier !!!!

Why you guys introduced him as a Muslim actor? TheBigQuestions

What’s his religion got to do with it. Celebrate his acting ability.

rizwanahmed about time, you where awesome in Rogue one and Four Lions, respect

Is it because he’s a good actor or because he’s Muslim? You in the press just make something out of nothing.

Calling a human 'Muslim' is just fuelling a divide. He's a fing human. He's got an award because he's good at his job, Muslim, Buddhist, black or white .

So nominated as a Muslim or as an actor... Identity politics...the poison for society and democracy...

Rubber Dinghy Rapids

I opposed to the Actor who can't use his influence To save Yemeni people From bombing,starvation. its all fake politics when you say Muslim Arab African bal bla bla bla

It's perfect that a religious person is good at make believe

He should win.

Still his best film, hands down.

What about RamiMalek?

Was it important to mention muslim? British was not enough?

And

What does it matter what he believes in

About time

Its all a bit hollow if you ask me.

He’s a shoe-in now

Congratulations but I’ve never known the religion of any actor before and don’t see why it should start now! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good actor. Well deserved

That is one fine man

Why does his type of imaginary friend matter to him being nominated for being good at his job?

Never heard of him.

CUE a thousand crayon munchers raging about how they’ll never watch the oscars again

Wow 👏

Now-meaningless and empty awards given by the woke, for ticking woke boxes. No one takes this horror seriously any more.

Le type s’appelle Riz? 🍚
