     Like you all know, the SAG awards are given to those who gave outstanding performances in either a film or television series each year. Basically, it's a yearly list of the "who's who" of Hollywood. One movie that literally rocked all of Hollywood this year was 12 Years A Slave which is set in the pre-Civil war era about an African American man from New York who is free but abducted and forced into slavery. 

          Nonetheless, I must be honest and admit that I typically don't really pay attention to who wins which award. However, one particular winner caught my eye when she was awarded the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Support Role. With all the buzz about Lupita Nyong'o, especially since 12 Years A Slave is her first performance in a feature film, I became interested and decided to look her up and find out more. After my research, I must say that she just may be the most interesting person in the world. Could there be a more interesting female?
