Hey grandma, this 2019 Oscars<\/a> win is for you!<\/p>\n

During tonight’s live award show, Mahershala Ali<\/a><\/strong> was crowned<\/a> the Best Actor in a Supporting Role thanks to his portrayal of Dr. Don Shirley in Green Book<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When he took to the stage inside the Dolby Theatre, the actor had one very special family member to thank.<\/p>\n

“I want to dedicate this to my grandmother who has been in my ear my entire life, telling me that if at first I don’t succeed, try, try again,” he shared with the audience. “That I can do anything I put my mind to. Always, always pushing me to think positively.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

During his speech, the two-time Oscar winner also gave thanks to his co-stars including Octavia Spencer<\/a><\/strong> and Viggo Mortensen<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
