Hannah Beachler has become the first African-American to win a Best Production Design Oscar.
Earlier in the evening, Ruth Carter became the first black winner of Best Costume Design for Black Panther, thanking director Ryan Coogler as well as BlacKkKlansman’s Spike Lee.
Beachler, who was also the first black person to be nominated in the category, won for her work on Marvel blockbuster Black Panther.
“New Orleans, you heard me,” she said before delivering an emotional speech that has since been praised by Reese Witherspoon and Angela Bassett.
