Lupita Nyong'o Wins 2014 SAG Award For Supporting Actress [Video]

Lupita Nyong'o won the Screen Actors Guild award for female actor in a supporting role Saturday night for her role as Patsey, a favored but abused slave in Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave."



It was the first nomination for the Mexico City-born, Kenyan-raised actress. Nyong'o was three weeks shy of graduating from the Yale School of Drama when she was cast by McQueen in her breakout role. Video & more below:

Nyong'o defeated Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the unstable wife of a con artist in "American Hustle"; Julia Roberts as the daughter of a domineering matriarch in "August: Osage County"; June Squibb as the reluctantly supportive wife in "Nebraska"; and Oprah Winfrey as Gloria Gaines, the wife of a presidential butler, in "Lee Daniels' The Butler."

She gave a great and emotional acceptance speech. Watch!
