Daniel Kaluuya emerged on the scene in 2018 with “Get Out,” a dark comedy hit that unexpectedly took the awards season by storm. He was nominated for his first Golden Globe that year as Comedy Actor. This year he contends in Supporting Actor for “Judas and the Black Messiah.” Kaluuya is also up for the Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild awards in the same category, and is on the longlist for nomination consideration at BAFTA.
In this Warner Bros. film Kaluuya portrays Fred Hampton, chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, a man so persuasive as a progressive political figure that the FBI and Chicago Police Department orchestrated his assassination in 1969. As Hampton, Kaluuya weaves together a portrait of a man that is in one palm falling in love with an equally young Deborah Johnson (Dominique Fishback) and in the other inspiring a community of disenfranchised people with his powerful speeches.
