Daniel Kaluuya’s Mom Reacting to His “They Had Sex” Oscars Speech Is Priceless

It’s a moment every actor dreams of: accepting an Academy Award. It’s the kinda moment you prepare for, probably writing draft after draft of a speech just in case your name gets called and you have to somehow put words together on live television. Or you can just do what Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya did and thank your mom and dad for getting busy 33 years ago!

That’s exactly what the first-time Oscar winner did when he claimed the trophy for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah. The speech wasn’t just about his parents having sex, though; Kaluuya thanked the Black Panther movement and Fred Hampton, the activist he won an Oscar playing. He called on everyone to do the work needed to push our world forward, work that he will keep doing—starting on Tuesday morning, because he has to celebrate tonight.

And that’s where Kaluuya got a bit loose, proving that a speech can be inspirational and funny at the same time. He had to thank his friends and family, and his parents for making him. “My mom met my dad, they had sex, I’m here,” said Kaluuya, his mother watching the speech via live video in London. “It’s amazing. I’m so happy to be alive. I’m gonna celebrate that tonight.” Kaluuya’s mom, she was not expecting to have her sex life brought up during the Oscars—and you better believe Twitter noticed.

It’s unpredictable moments like these that make the Oscars worth watching live… or at least being very online during the ceremony so you can catch the memes.
