Since her performance in the Underground Railroad which has been tagged ‘awesome’, Thuso Mbedu has been receiving non-stop accolades. Thuso has just won a Gotham award in the category ‘Outstanding Performance’ which she was nominated alongside iconic actor, Ethan Hawk.

Taking to social media, Thuso expressed disbelief over this Gotham award saying she got told of this wonderful achievement by her manager.

She was also shocked to find out she won in the category for Outstanding Performance In A New Series, as she was competing with Ethan.

“Waking up to a bunch of missed calls from my manager and thinking I might have missed my pickup (for the first time in my life) only to be told about this great news. What a pleasant surprise. Tied with Mr. Ethan Hawke. Thank you so much @thegotham It’s extremely humbling and encouraging.”

Thuso also won another award this past weekend at the 2021 GQ Men Of The Year Awards. The local awards ceremony gifted her the award for Woman Of The Year.
