Lupita Nyongâo won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for her very first feature film, 12 Years a Slave (2013). Her subtly anguished portrayal of Patsey, a young enslaved woman who is repeatedly raped by her enslaver (played by Michael Fassbender) and denigrated by his wife (Sarah Paulson), earned critical acclaim. The film, which was directed by Steve McQueen, was named best picture.
