In the absence of nominated films,
Argentina had its moment of fame
in the 93rd edition of the Oscars 2021 at the Hollywood Academy.
It was when they named Evita and, of course, the Peronist memes exploded on social networks.
It all happened when Mia Neal
-who took the stage with her colleagues to receive a statuette for "Best Makeup and Hairstyle" for her work in
La madre del Blues
- mentioned Argentina in her thank you speech
.
To leave
a message against racism
, Neal said that his grandfather visited the country to represent the United States in the Pan American Games and that he met
Eva Duarte Perón.
"It was at the YMCA and returned to his hometown to become a teacher"
,
he explained.
Mia Neal took the stage along with her colleagues the Spanish
Sergio López-Rivera
and
Jamika Wilson.

scene from which the rehearsals
of the African-American singer Ma Rainey
, known as the 'Mother of Blues',
are portrayed

Its popularity coincided with the
blues craze in the
1920s and the advancement of record labels.
Between 1923 and 1928 he recorded at least 92 songs.
"See see rider" was one of the most popular.
He composed around 38 songs.
She was the mentor to Bessie Smith.
