Sidney Poitier became the first Black man to win Best Actor at the 36th Academy Awards in 1964 for Lilies of the Field. He remains only the fifth Black man to win the award in Oscar history. Poitier's win came during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. His previous nomination had been for The Defiant Ones in 1959. After his win, it would take 38 years before another Black actor, Denzel Washington, won Best Actor for Training Day in 2002. #Oscars #SidneyPoitier #LiliesOfTheField #BlackHistor

For his 1963 portrayal of an itinerant worker who helps refugee nuns build a chapel in LILIES OF THE FIELD, Sidney Poitier became the first African American to win the Oscar for best actor. Poitier said he has fond memories of the role: "‘Lilies of the Field’ stirs up such great remembrances in our family, from the littlest Poitiers watching a young and agile ‘Papa’ to the oldest – Papa Sidney himself!” Poitier said in a statement with his family. #NatFilmRegistry | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
