Precisely, Anita has always been the best character, and I love that both actresses who played her on screen won Oscars for their performances.

I was so hyped for WSS when Rita was announced to come back. And it went right down the middle as I was hoping for.

Anita is now joining Vito Corleone and Joker for double Oscar club

There's only been three characters that have been played by two actors that have won oscars

Rita Moreno and Ariana DeBose became the third pair of actors to win for portraying the same character in two different films since Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro, who won Best Actor and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor respectively, for their portrayals of Vito Corleone and Joaquin Phoenix and Heath Ledger for their portrayals of Joker.

my woman king

What thing

and ANGELA BASSETT DID THE THI....oh wait...

@@LordLoss92 Go to hell

She's 31 too. At the time of winning.

Wow, that's really impressive

Don't forget that her win marks Anita as the third character in Oscar history to have two actors winning an Oscar for playing the character (previous two which was Joker and Vito Corleone) with Anita being the first to win in the same category

But she is not a latina

@@javierminder9447 She’s half Latina

It's interesting to me that all of these play the "same character" in different ways! In the Godfather, Brando and DeNiro play the same character but at very different ages. Phoenix and Ledger play the same character but in different interpretations, while Moreno and DeBose play the same character in the same moment. Really cool!

😳😳😳😳😎😎😎😎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I loved her in all three

Even as a bullet, she caught our eyes and made us remember her in Hamilton. What a great performer!!!

I loved her in Hamilton. She kept catching my eye. So this here win... brava!!!!

@@wonderland321fly hahaha just said the same 🤣🤣🤣 eye catching Bullet... which is ironic when I say it like that bwahaha. But here we are!

And now She is next in line to become the next disney princess in Wish I'm telling you , Ariana is killin it .

The Spiderman chick?

She deserved. She’s multitalented on every level. So effortless

@@ririschannelx Kristen Dunst is a great actress. She deserves more than this hypocrit ceremony.

Kirsten deserved but we all know award shows rarely get things right. We shouldn't expect anything.

@@joeybaseball7352yup Kristen was in Spider-Man .

I was hyped to see this new take since Rita was announced. And the movie to me belongs to the girls more so then the boys

She's just a ONE HIT WONDER right now. Let's see her put some more "years" in HOLLYWOOD and do a ROLE that's not taken from what someone else has already laid the BLUEPRINT for, then we can say OK, she's "earned" that Oscar. As for right now, I'm NOT impressed. A "true" actor, has LOTS and LOTS of excellent performances under their belt, NOT JUST "one".

@@shellyrews808get a life

@@Bwayswiftmac I got one, THANK U VERY MUCH.

@@shellyrews808 It’s an award for best performance, not best career.

@@57yearoldjamesbond YES I KNOW. But, considering this was a REBOOT/REMAKE of a film and character that had already been done and won an Oscar for by MISS MORENO, the Academy could have "waited" until Ariana played an ORIGINAL character in another film, then AWARD her. It's EASY to put just a FEW extra touches on a character that was already created. Now let's see her do a GREAT performance with an ORIGINAL character, then I"ll say OK. Like I said before, as far as I'm concerned, the NOMINATION was enough.

Now let’s hopefully see someone win best actress for a Steven Spielberg movie

It should have been Whoopi Goldberg many years ago for The Color Purple (1985).

@@angelcastaneda529 Agreed

@@aameyadevansh4246 Maybe your theory will become true

It's kinda crazy tbh, Spielberg has had a very long career and yet only made 3 Oscar winning performances

I agree, it deserved at least one more but I am still so happy it won an award

I disagree I actually think it should not have been nominated for best director denis should have been nominated instead

@@glenwarne7518 I agree that Denis deserved a director nomination but Steven did a great job directing west side story. Drive my car’s director nomination probably took Denis’ spot

@@glenwarne7518 I never said that he deserved Directing but the truth is, Denis deserved it more

@@glenwarne7518 dude, Spielberg did a great job directing the movie he deserves a nomination. West Side Story is easily one of his best film and his best since Bridge of Spies

actually Ariana is not really Latina, just her grandfather

Penelope Cruz?

Penelope Cruz is a Latina and she won before Ariana. Ariana is the first LGBTQ person of colour to win

@@sharanyaray2454 Penelope no es latina, para nada jsjjsjs, ella es española lo que no es lo mismo que ser latina

@@sharanyaray2454 Penelope Cruz is a Spanish actress. While you could argue that she could be considered Hispanic…she is not Latina or Latin American.

Yeah call her a WOMAN OF COLOR please, not an AFRO-LATINA, b'cuz it hasn't been shown if she IS or NOT.

Yes she is and I love how she refers to herself and knows that she is Latina

@@celticdw1983 Why is it, when I ask u to tell me what her father's name is, or tell me where there is a PHOTO of him, u have NO answer for me?

@@shellyrews808 Some stars are private about their personal life and child life and maybe she is too. You just feel the need to wanna be an asshole. Like I said before, people DO NOT grow up with both parents. She was told about her father but probably never have a picture of him. Stop being an asshole now. She is Latina on her father's side.

*Jwelch5742, logic says that if there's no bad job, there's no good job either. In you opinion every winner in every category in every year is great - and you said so sometimes. With each word.*

And it's the first time that the character won an Oscar for the exact same category. Vito and Joker won two Oscars but the actors won an Oscar for a different category whereas Anita is the same. So that's an acomplishment

I’m more excited for her role in Wish.

Yeah

Am i the only one who think her perfomance in Marie Antoinette is oscar worthy ?

Ok, let's get some things STRAIGHT here. ARIANA, has not "shown" any VISIBLE proof of her LATIN side (yet), so let's just call her a WOMAN OF COLOR for now ok. Yes, there has been a "real" AFRO-LATINA who won an Oscar, and her name is IRENE CARA, back in 1984 for BEST ORIGINAL SONG for the movie FLASHDANCE. Also another "real" AFRO-LATINA who was nominated for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS in 1993 for the movie FEARLESS and her name is ROSIE PEREZ.

@@shellyrews808 I mean for acting and as a winner.

@@julkasteven8198 Oh yeah, I knew what u meant. It's just that MISS ARIANA keeps going around "labeling" herself as an AFRO-LATINA, but when u search the internet, all u see is her WHITE mother, NO NAME or PIC of this PUERTO-RICAN father that she says she has. And my whole point is, just b'cuz someone "calls'' themselves something, that doesn't mean that's who they REALLY are. For all we know her dad could be a PAKISTAN INDIAN or BLACK AMERICAN man. Let's wait and see if she ever "reveals" this MYSTERIOUS father, before we start calling her the FIRST LATIN anything ok.

@@shellyrews808 The hell does it matter to you? What reason would she have to lie?

@@57yearoldjamesbond First of all, where did u read in my comments where I used the words she's "LYING"? I said she has not shown any "proof" of the PUERTO RICAN heritage that she "claims" to have. Secondly, when a person "chooses" to be FAMOUS, which this woman has done, you "automatically" make ur LIFE everybody's business, and (WE THE PUBLIC) have a "right" to say what we want about or question her and any other HOLLYWOOD celebrity. Lastly, the "real" ARGUMENT here is abt, LABELS and TITLES when it pertains to these AWARD shows. Who is she or anybody else for that matter, to go around calling her the FIRST LATIN something, and we don't even know if it's TRUE or NOT? Whoever she has as her P.R. reps, needs to be FIRED immediately, b'cuz they're doing a LOUSY job. Also, if ARIANA wants ppl to judge her on just her TALENTS, whenever she goes on these interviews or award shows, it would help if she HERSELF would stop mentioning her RACE and/or SEXUAL orientation, and just say, hey I'm an ACTRESS/DANCER and leave it at that, then maybe the rest of "US" won't talk abt it anymore either.

Wow! That is NUTS!

@@shimmeringfairydust3275 It is nuts, i was hoping for Liam Neeson to get an Oscar for Schindler's List or even Ralph Fiennes for the supporting role. Neeson and Fiennes had some of the best acting i've ever seen in a Spielberg movie (granted, Schindler's List is still my favorite Spielberg movie) and it boggles my mind that none of them won an Oscar

@@15Candles That was the year Tommy Lee Jones got best supporting actor for “The Fugitive.” Granted, Jones is a durable actor - but to win for that performance? It was perfectly acceptable but in no way extraordinary enough for an Oscar. Ralph Fiennes was simply incredible. Frightening and evil, he really exemplified how awful the Nazis were and the terror his victims must have felt. I thought it one of the best in years. Jones beat that - for the record, he also beat young Leonardo DiCaprio’s head-shakingly magnificence work in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” Pete Postlethwaite’s fine performance in “In the Name of the Father,” and John Malkovitch’s memorable performance, in “In the Line of Fire.” Each of these performances was better than Jones, but I suppose they gave it to him bcz he was the best known of the nominees. Other than Malkovitch, the others weren’t particularly familiar to Oscar voters. That’s no excuse - Fiennes deserved it. I mean, Daniel Day Lewis wasn’t exactly a household name when he (deservedly) won in 1989 - but he had one thing going for him - there was a split vote between Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. The Oscars are pretty much a sham. Apparently, they hate films about gay cowboys (“The Power of the Dog,” and “Brokeback Mountain” lost to clearly inferior films), are not too keen on films about aliens or sci-fi (“E.T.” “Alien,” “Dune,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “Star Wars,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” - just for starters). Sure, these films clean up in the technical awards, but that is about it. One of the most mind boggling things about the Oscars was the year “The Color Purple” was completely ignored - 11 Oscar noms in all, I believe, and nary a win. Instead, the dull “Out of Africa,” prevailed. I think it was the Oscar’s way of slapping Spielberg for daring to make a “serious” movie, when he was mostly known for sci fi & action/adventure films. I feel ‘The Color Purple” was one of the best film of the 1980s, and for it to be completely snubbed was unacceptable. Spielberg is clearly one of the best directors ever. Screw what the Oscars think. Sorry for the long rant…

Is about to be 2 more Paul Dano and Michelle Williams for the fabelmans

@@gabrielcastaneda9700 For Dano , i can see it (Or maybe Hirsch) Williams , it's gonna be tough for her since the best actress race is looking nuts .

The biggest win for the LGTBQ community.🏳️‍🌈

Sam Smith won an Oscar before her.

It was only one of few highlights of the night for me

Judi dench deserved it!!

Two movie versions are good enough for me

I doubt it will happen. Most likely it’ll be at the Emmys

Actually she went to Walt Disney Animation Studios's Wish as Asha.
