Mahershala Ali becomes first Muslim to win Oscar on 27th February 2017. Mahershala Ali takes home the award for his film Moonlight, in the Best Supporting Actor category.

In the end, the “Moonlight” star pulled it out. 
During an emotional speech, Ali thanked his “wonderful teachers and professors,” and shared with the audience some advice he received from them: “It’s not about you, it’s about these characters. You are a servant. You’re in service to these stories and these characters.”
