In winning, DeBose beat out fellow nominees Jesse Buckley (\"The Lost Daughter\"), Judi Dench (\"Belfast\"), Kirsten Dunst (\"The Power of the Dog\") and Aunjanue Ellis (\"King Richard\").

DeBose was the favorite to win, having won the equivalent of the best supporting actress Oscar at the SAG Awards, the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and the Critics' Choice Awards in the lead-up to the 94th Academy Awards.

DeBose and Moreno, who are both of Puerto Rican heritage, join an elite club of actors who won Academy Awards for playing the same character, becoming the first women to do so and having the widest gap between their Oscar-winning performances.

The first pair to do this was Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro for playing Vito Corleone in 1972's \"The Godfather\" and 1974's \"The Godfather: Part II,\" respectively winning best actor and best supporting actor for their work.

The other pair is Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix, who both played the Joker. Ledger posthumously won best supporting actor for 2008's \"The Dark Knight\" and Phoenix won best actor for 2019's \"The Joker.\"

GLAAD's president and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis, reacted to DeBose's win, which saw her become the first openly queer woman of color to win an Academy Award.

\"Ariana DeBose is an immensely talented actress and a tremendous advocate for LGBTQ people and people of color,\" Ellis said in a statement. \"She not only made history tonight as the first queer woman of color to win an Oscar, but she sent a beautiful and timely message to LGBTQ young people. I hope LGBTQ youth around the world saw her win, heard her speak and recognize that they too should dream big.\"
