Kenyan Actress Lupita Nyong’o Wins Her First Hollywood Award !

Lupita Nyongo

Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o's star is fast rising after her Hollywoood debut movie ’12 years a Slave’ alongside Hollywood superstars like Brad Pitt.The Kenyan star yesterday bagged her first award at the 17th annual Hollywood Film Awards where she received the ‘New Hollywood Award’ for her stunning performance as a slave Patsey in ’12 years a slave’.This is a great deal and a great achievement for Lupita who was overwhelmed after receiving the coveted award. Keep in mind that the same role has stirred an Oscar buzz for her where she is to be pitted against world’s famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey and pretty woman Julia Roberts.


Lupita flew Kenya’s flag very high and after being awarded she gave out a very emotional speech that was one of the night’s favorites. Not only is she a star but she is also humble and full of gratitude. Did I mention she has classic fashion sense? Lupita yesterday dazzled again in a yellow J Mendel Textured Viscose Sleeveless Column Gown with an orange lip, and matching metallic clutch which was among the best of the red carpet looks(Global Grind review).
This young star is not only headed for bigger things but she is putting Kenya on the map and is an inspiration to many.
Congratulations Lupita and keep on keeping on!

The 17th Annual Hollywood Film Awards
