Ariana DeBose has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:West Side Story at the 2022 Academy Awards.

She was up against Kirsten Dunst (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Power of the Dog), Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard), Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter), and Judi Dench (Belfast).

During her speech, DeBose gave an emotional thanks to Rita Moreno, who played the character Anita in the original West Side S🦩tory. "Your Anita paved the way for tons of Anitas like me, and I love you so much," she said. 

The actor went on to say: "Look into her eyes, you s🍰ee an openly queer woman of color, an Afro-Latina who found her strength in life through art – and that&rsquo🅺;s what I believe we’re here to celebrate."

DeBose also plays Anita in Steven Spielberg's take on the famous musical, with Rachel Zegler as María, Ansel Elgort as Tony, David Alvarez as Bernardo, Mike Faist as Riff, and a returning Moreno, this time playing Valentina. Moreno herself won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for the role of Anita in 1962. The🃏 film tells the love story of María and Tony, who are on opposite sides of a gang war between the Jets and the Sharks. 

West Side Story was up for seven Oscars total – alongside Best Supporti♚𝓡ng Actress, the film was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Sound. It did not end up taking home any other prizes.
