'West Side Story' star Ariana DeBose makes LGBTQ+ history at 2022 SAG Awards

"West Side Story" breakout Ariana DeBose is the first openly queer woman to win an individual film prize at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The rising movie star received the film honor for supporting actress for her powerful turn as Anita in Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story." She prevailed over fellow nominees Caitríona Balfe ("Belfast"), Cate Blanchett ("Nightmare Alley"), Kirsten Dunst ("The Power of the Dog") and Ruth Negga ("Passing").

Earlier this month, DeBose also landed her first Oscar nomination for her emotional performance as Anita, and became the first openly queer woman of color nominated for an acting Oscar.
