The Oscars may very obviously be in its flop era, but last night’s awards show did give us a few gems. Daniel Kaluuya’s massive win for his performance (and the charmingly embarrassing acceptance speech that followed) was one of them, reminding us that in a sea of wrongs, Hollywood can get it right if it actually decides to. Unfortunately, even the shine of Kaluuya’s big moment was almost dimmed by a particularly unfortunate and very public instance of casual racism.

Kaluuya took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, a win that he earned thanks to his heartfelt and passionate depiction of the late Black Panther Party’s Chairman Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah. His category was very competitive, even featuring his own cast mate Lakeith Stanfield, but the British actor came out victorious. On stage, Kaluuya relished in the moment and expressed his gratitude at being a boy from the estates of London being able to have his own Oscar.
“I’m so happy to be alive,” he exclaimed to the audience at the Dolby Theatre. “So I’m going to celebrate that tonight!”
However, that celebration was almost ruined by one startling interview that immediately followed his win. Newly-released footage from the Oscars press room show Kaluuya doing interviews about the joyous occasion, with one reporter killing the vibe by mistaking him for fellow Black man and Best Actor nominee, One Night in Miami’s Leslie Odom, Jr.

Unless this person turned around and said 'they all look the same' as their excuse.
THAT ... would cross the line.
Just getting it wrong I don't think warrants such a strong accusation absent other evidence.
MHO
