Here's Actor Daniel Kaluuya's Oscars Nomination Reaction - And Full List Of 2021 Nominees

The nominations of the 2021 Oscars awards were announced on March 15, with British born actor Daniel Kaluuya as a nominee in the category of best actor in a supporting role in Judas and the Black Messiah.

The Oscars Awards ceremony will take place towards the close of April 2021.

Here was Kaluuya’s reaction on his Oscars nomination:

Chairman Fred Hampton was a light, a beacon of a being who would illuminate all he touched with his incredible message. With the ability to command any stage and robbed of his opportunity to captivate a global audience.

He created strategies that supported and uplifted the black community but also unified other communities with his laugh, his mind, his passion and his love.

Today, I am humbled to be nominated for portraying a man whose principles I deeply respect and for guiding me to walk in his footsteps.

With the blessing of Chairman Fred Hampton’s family, and the unwavering support from Ryan Coogler, Shaka King and Charles King, and the cast led by LaKeith Stanfield and Dominique Fishback, I became a vessel for Chairman Fred’s spirit at a time when we need his rally cry for equality and justice more than ever.

I commend my fellow nominees for their impressive work.

To be seen and celebrated by my peers in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is beautifully humbling and I am deeply grateful. Thank you.”
