A Big ConGrats to Lupita Nyong'o!!!
The win wraps up the 2013 film awards season in which she won more than 60 per cent of the awards nominations. With the Oscar win, she won 27 awards out of 42 nominations during the 2013 film awards season.
She adds the Oscar to her collection which includes the Hollywood Film Awards, Independent Spirit Awards, Image Awards, Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards and several others.
The Yale University graduate had been tipped as the favourite to win the award due to her strong performance in the slave era movie and graciousness in the interview circuit where critics said she conducted herself “with grace and humility.”
During the Red Carpet event prior to the awards show official start, Lupita gave a shout out to Nairobi when answering a question from Ryan Seacrest the American Idol talent show host about her dress.
“This is Prada….. it was made for me. I like the blue as the blue reminds me of Nairobi,” she said fiddling with the dress. “I just wanted to bring a piece of home with me.”
The statement prompted hashtag Nairobiblue to trend on social media. The statement “the blue reminds me of Nairobi” trended widely on Twitter as well.
