Speaking to reporters backstage, Wunmi Mosaku says she felt “it can’t be right” when she heard her name announced as the best supporting actress.
“I lost my breath and I couldn’t quite believe it,” she says.
When asked, as a mum and as a woman of colour, what this moment felt to be holding a Bafta, she says she “thought about that more as the film came out.”
“For me, seeing that response from the audience made me realise how lonely it felt, and all of a sudden these women were in my life who I’d never met and I felt a kinship to.”
She broke into tears as she saw Sinners win best original screenplay, and credited director Ryan Coogler: “He lets everyone know on the set that they’re so important, and we can’t do it without them.”
