The Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom team wins Best Makeup and Hairstyling (and Best Costume Design)
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’s Mia Neal, Sergio Lopez-Rivera, and Jamika Wilson made history, being the first team with Black female members to win Best Makeup and Hairstyling. When speaking of breaking that “glass ceiling,” they expressed hope that they’d soon be joined by winners of all genders and races and “it wont be groundbreaking, it will just be normal.” The film was recognized again just moments later when costume designer Ann Roth (who was not in attendance) won the Best Costume Design award making the 89-year-old the oldest woman to ever win an Oscar.

But in the ceremony on April 25, only Daniel Kaluuya won an Oscar.
He won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Fred Hampton in
Judas and the Black Messiah. He beat two Black men, his co-star Lakeith Stanfield, and Leslie Odom Jr. in
One Night in Miami.
During his acceptance speech, Kaluuya praised Hampton.
“What a man – how blessed we are that we live in a lifetime that he existed.” He said the Black Panthers “showed us the power of union and power of unity.”
