The award for best costume design went to Ruth Carter and in her own words, it was "a long time coming."
Carter won for "Black Panther" and became the first African American to take home the statue.
She thanked Spike Lee for giving her her start and said she hoped she made him proud.
She also paid homage to the film that made her a trailblazer.
"Marvel may have created the first black superhero, but through costume design, we turned him into an African king," Carter said.
She also showed love to her mother.
"This is for my 97-year-old mother watching in Massachusetts," Carter said. "Mom, thank you for teaching me about people and telling their stories. You are the original super hero. "
