Ariana DeBose just made history by winning the Best Supporting Actress award at the 2022 Oscars held at Dolby Theatre on Sunday (March 27) in Hollywood.
The 31-year-old actress of course won for her work as Anita in West Side Story.
Ariana is the first and only openly queer woman of color to be nominated, and win!
Her and Rita Moreno have also become one of only a few pairs of actors to win an Oscar for playing the same role. Rita was the first Latina to win an Oscar for playing Anita in the 1961 film.
