Best Supporting Actress

Lupita NyonG’O Girl!

The Academy makes the right call by awarding Lupita Nyong’o the statue for Best Supporting Actress. I can’t even think about her performance as Patsey, “the Queen of the Field,” from Steve McQueen’s outstanding film “12 Years a Slave” without tearing up a little bit.

Her speech was touching, emotional and respectful to those who suffered so she could have such a joyous day.

She beat out Julia Roberts for “August: Osage County,” June Squibb for “Nebraska,” Sally Hawkins for Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” and Jennifer Lawrence in “American Hustle.”
