So touching to see Rita Moreno watch Ariana win for the same role she won for 60 years ago. (Images via ABC)
West Side Story's Ariana DeBose made history at Sunday's Oscars, becoming the first Afro Latina woman to win an acting Oscar, and the first out queer woman of color ever to win for acting.
Her speech was so moving. We have come a long way from Jodie Foster her gloved (literally!) upbraiding of people for daring to inquire about her private life (“I'd like to thank all of the people in this industry who have respected my choices and who have not been afraid of the power and the dignity that that entitled me to”) to DeBose jubilantly saying:
Imagine this little girl in the back seat of a white ford Focus. When you look into her eyes you see an openly queer woman of color, an Afro Latina, who found her strength in life through art. And that's what I believe we're here to celebrate.
So to anybody who's ever questioned your identity ever, ever, ever, or you find yourself living in the gray spaces, I promise you this: there is, indeed, a place for us.
Watch:
It was subtle if you weren't paying attention, but Queen Latifah clearly indicated she is a lesbian while accepting her Lifetime Achievement Award at Sunday's BET Awards, thanking her loves — her partner Eboni Nichols and their child, Rebel.
“Peace,” she said in closing. “Happy Pride!”
No mistaking that.
In case you're confused by the Jodie Foster reference, Jodie also came out via acceptance speech.
It's a whole new world, no? (Image via video still)
When I was young and resentful that Jodie Foster wasn't out while receiving a well-deserved Oscar (and using her speech to push back against calls to be out), I couldn't have guessed that in '21 she'd be on her couch at home with her wife, broadcasting it live on the Golden Globes. A truly shocking juxtaposition to have lived through, don't you agree?
Her acceptance speech from nearly 30 (!) years ago, really doesn't sound nearly as defensive as I recalled it — so subtle, but we did know what she was talking about:
