Wunmi Mosaku Claims Her Legacy
Wunmi Mosaku enters the room beaming. The heavily pregnant star is enjoying a brief moment of respite, sans red carpet gowns, opting instead for a Savage x Fenty hoodie, sporting her mini Afro and a bare face for the first time in weeks. However, she’s not complaining about her new fast-paced existence. “This is such a rare moment, and it's such a big moment for the film: 16 nominations!” she says, reflecting on the Oscars race over high tea at London’s The Chancery Rosewood. The Nigerian-born, Manchester-raised actor is in a close race for the Best Supporting Actress category at the 98th Academy Awards on 15th March, as a crucial part of the ensemble for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, the most-nominated film at the award ceremony since it began.

Two women of African descent poised to make Oscar history
This Oscar season has delivered something genuinely exciting for African representation in cinema. British-Nigerian actress Wunmi Mosaku earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her soul-stirring performance as a Hoodoo priestess in Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending film Sinners—a role she describes as reconnecting her with her Yoruba heritage and Nigerian ancestry. Meanwhile, Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania is nominated in the International Feature Film category for The Voice of Hind Rajab, an emotionally devastating film built around the final phone call of a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza. Together, their nominations highlight the growing global influence of African storytellers and performers. If either wins, it could mark another milestone for African talent on Hollywood’s most celebrated night.
