Let me tell you, I am grateful the Oscars doesn't seem to be cutting off acceptance speeches this year (for once!), because then we wouldn't have gotten the funniest moment of the night, nay, of the entire 2021 award season. In his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah—you can learn about the true story behind the film here (opens in new tab)—Kaluuya spoke about Fred Hampton, racial justice, and the Black Panthers, and then he ended with: "We're breathing, we're walking, it's incredible. My mum, my dad, they had sex, it's amazing, you know what I mean? And I'm here! I'm so happy to be alive!"
To which Kaluuya's mom (or "mum," I guess) was all like:

And the whole internet was like:

Okay, but seriously, that moment aside, you should go and watch all of Kaluuya's speech.
"What a man."Daniel Kaluuya remembers Fred Hampton in his acceptance speech: "How blessed we are that we lived in a lifetime where he existed...When they played divide and conquer, we say unite and ascend." https://t.co/sdgeoBK7lX #Oscars pic.twitter.com/T58yZO1Bq7April 26, 2021

But also...let's just look one more time at the face of a woman whose beloved son has just thanked her for having sex with his dad in front of the whole world!
