Daniel Kaluuya has made history after winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor at the 2021 Oscars.

The London-born actor is the first non-white Briton to win an acting Oscar in the show’s 93-year history. He landed the gong for playing Black Panther chairman Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah.

He is only the sixth non-white actor to win the award. Denzel Washington was the first, for the film Glory in 1990.
