for “West Side Story.” After winning SAG’s best supporting actress award for her performance as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s musical remake, she’s the first Latina to win a film award from the guild and the first queer woman of color to be recognized for acting.
DeBose’s co-star Rita Moreno became the first, and still, only Latina to ever win an acting Oscar for the 1961 original version, where she also played the dancing seamstress. In the remake, she plays the newly created role of Valentina. If DeBose wins the Oscar, she will become the second Latina to win an acting Oscar.
Kirsten Dunst, achieving her first nom after a long career, could be one of the challengers for DeBose, primarily due to the latter film having a softer showing than many anticipated, with snubs in the adapted screenplay and editing categories. This season, Aunjanue Ellis has received considerable acclaim and awards, including noms from Critics Choice, Golden Globes, BAFTA, and even kicked off the season with the National Board of Review prize for supporting actress. In addition, “King Richard” received an impressive six Oscar nominations including best picture , actor, supporting actress, original screenplay, film editing and original song for the track “Be Alive” .
Jessie Buckley, also a first-time nominee for “The Lost Daughter” and veteran and Oscar-winner Judi Dench from “Belfast,” don’t seem to be spoiler possibilities. Still, you can never close anything off, especially in this category that’s had shockers like Juliette Binoche over Lauren Bacall .: Aunjanue Ellis, “King Richard” : Olga Merediz, “In the Heights”
ByClaytonDavis lupita nyong'o sendo a segunda latina a ganhar o oscar, e esses burros falando q a ariana é a segunda sendo q ela nasceu nos eua
ByClaytonDavis Mercedes Ruehl is of Cuban descent, and Penelope Cruz is from Spain.
ByClaytonDavis Appreciate people pointing out that Lupita technically qualifies but in Mexico she is considered Black and Ariana is Afro-Latina and would be considered that or “mixed race Black” in Puerto Rico. Latinos along with Asians and others are woefully underrepresented. It’s awful.
ByClaytonDavis And the first Afro-Latina
ByClaytonDavis She deserves it.
ByClaytonDavis What about Mercedes Ruehl in The Fisher King. She is of Cuban descent.
ByClaytonDavis love ariana but THIS AGAIN? shell be the third!!!
ByClaytonDavis lupita nyong'o is literally MEXICAN. its absurd that only TWO latinas have won the oscar till this day, but it were TWO lets not erase lupita's victory!
ByClaytonDavis For the same role none the less.
ByClaytonDavis What about Penelope Cruz?
ByClaytonDavis She’s a lock to win. She is so deserving
ByClaytonDavis SHE BETTER WIN IDC IDC
ByClaytonDavis And for the same role...
ByClaytonDavis Wait there hasn't been a latina Oscar winner for 60 yrs? that's fucked up
ByClaytonDavis First afro-latina, first openly queer latina, she's a Queen, give her her crown already
ByClaytonDavis Who knows. Suggested wins because of the so-called minority vote often surprises people when it comes to the Academy Awards - the color in the film being enhanced captured my attention.
ByClaytonDavis Rooting for her! 👏🏾🤍👍🏾
ByClaytonDavis For the same role. Progress. /s
