Wright and Stanfield have both played in movies alongside last year’s winner, Daniel Kaluuya . Wright won hearts as the ever tech-saavy Shuri in Black Panther and Stanfield played Andre Logan King in Get Out , both of which also starred Kaluuya. “It means a lot that my work has been recognized, especially in the country I’ve grown up in, and that I get to share this recognition with so many talented actors,” Wright said, according to Page Six .
