The past
few months has been outstanding for Kenyan born actress Lupita Nyong'o – thanks
to her role in the film "12 Years a Slave"
The actress
got a standing ovation from Hollywood last night as she took home the trophy for
Best Supporting Actress at the 2014 Critics' Choice Awards. Meanwhile, on Thursday
(Jan. 16), Lupita had earlier earned herself an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
“Thank
you. I'm a little terrified,” she says after taking the stage with tears in her
eyes. “I'm so honoured to be here and I just want to thank the BFCA for this
incredible honour. This has been an incredible year of excellent performances
and in my category, I feel so honoured to be with the likes of June Squibb and
Jennifer Lawrence and Julia Roberts and Scarlett Johansson.”
“I'd
like to dedicate this to my uncle ... who always came to watch every single
play I was in ... and on one of the last performances he saw me in, he said
'You're good, but let's see what Hollywood thinks of you,” she says to close
her speech. “He didn't live to see this day, but I'm sure he's proud of me.”
