Lupita is easily becoming Hollywood’s sweetheart! Just hours after getting the big news of her very first Academy Award nomination, Lupita Nyong’o won a Critics’ Choice Award last night for Best Supporting Actress.
Stunning the kids in
a white Calvin Klein Collection gown, Lupita gave a heartwarming, emotional acceptance speech where she thanked her team and “12 Years a Slave” director Steve McQueen, while her Best Supporting Actress contenders Julia Roberts and Oprah cheered her on from the audience. Lupita also dedicated the award to her late uncle who always supported her acting dreams:
“I want to thank my team and my family for their support and I’d like to dedicate this to my uncle —- who always came to watch every single play I was in. At one of the last performances he saw me in he said, ‘You’re good, but let’s see what Hollywood thinks of you.’ He didn’t live to see this day, but I’m sure he’s proud of me.”

Yes Lupita!In other news, it looks as though Lupita has caught the eye of actor Jared Leto. He’s clearly a huge fan. Last night, he made his way over to the “12 Years A Slave” star from across the room to chat:
