Ariana DeBose is one step closer to Oscar glory!
The 31-year-old actress took home the award for Best Supporting Actress at the 2022 EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday (March 13) at Royal Albert Hall in London, England.
Ariana won the award for her work in the movie musical West Side Story. Also up for the award were Belfast‘s Caitriona Balfe, The Lost Daughter‘s Jessie Buckley, Mass‘ Ann Dowd, King Richard‘s Aunjanue Ellis, and Passing‘s Ruth Negga.
