"I'm very proud of all the communities that I belong to," DeBose said. "We wouldn't even be having these conversations around identity and representation, if the work first wasn't there, right, if that wasn't sound. And I'm so proud of this work."

Ariana DeBose made history this year, when she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She is the first Afro-Latina and the first openly queer person to do so.
In an appearance on the People Every Morning podcast, she discussed her opinion on labels and what matters most to her.

Kristen Stewart: Best Actress is always one of the most competitive categories at the Oscars, and this year&#;s race is set to be a real nail-biter. Early on, it looked like Stewart was a shoo-in for the honor, but then she was left out of many other major ceremonies, only to earn a semi-surprise Academy Award nod.
At times, the favor seems to shift to others for a period, and Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Olivia Colman, Jessica Chastain and Kristen Stewart have all had a turn as the suggested winner.
No one really knows who will recei
