if i were him, i would just look at the audience and say
"look at me, I'm the captain now"

[spacevalyrian]

He says I love you hooyo. Hooyo means mom in Somali. For those that were wondering.

Very well deserved award!

[SteelBallRun]

He deserves that award, very good acting on his part!

[theheartsees]

I'm just tearing up proudly for him specially when he said thanks for believing in me before I believed in myself😭😭😭😭congrats man

[deceivedheretic]

Of all people getting movie awards I've never seen the crowd so happy for one person to get an award. I'm so happy he had this opportunity and sealed this award. For his first role I thought he should've gotten an oscar for this film after watching it a few times. What a performance! I'm looking forward for his future films once he gets more into acting again! I'll be cheering for this guy from now on. What a kindhearted man.

Got tears in my eyes. Tears of joy when Barkhad Abdi says: " I love you hooyo", means Mum,  

[Jaggerx]

IM SO GLAD HE WON. He was amazing in his role.

[speed]

This guy is so humble and sincere, just seeing the joy in Tom Hanks makes me know that this guy is a real sweet guy!

Somali hero actor BARKHAD ABDI congratulation; you raise UP the proud of Somalis
Welldone

[mizzypinckney]

He did it!! Better than most actors I've seen act and they've been acting for years. But you Barkhad...You've just done a hell of a good job for this to be you're first movie.

[thugghishruggishbone]

I love his speech. Very humble, sincere and genuine!

[JoshuaDay]

I hope Barkhad's career keeps going strong. Just finished watching Eye in the Sky and even though his role wasnt that big, it was nice seeing him on the screen again. Hopefully he gets more parts.

[AegyoAigoo]

WHO IS THE CAPTAIN NOW? LOL
Congrats! He did an amazing job! His acting was so natural and believable.

I am soo proud to see someone that wasn't even a professional actor to have won such an award. This comes to show that it doesnt matter what your background is, you can always succeed. He's one if my inspirations along side Mo Farah and K'naan because they all came from a country that has been war tor for years and to have made these achievements...Puts a smile to my face.

loved that he said "love you hooyo". :) 

[rolybling]

[lauradill]

Barkhard is all heart everything he said can straight from his little heart what a wonderful guy it's so refreshing to see these rewards beginning to newcomers and so so beautiful you know the genuine love that Tom Hanks has to the sky wonderful story

[klausweasley]

I love that Emma Thompson is genuinely happy for him.

[guilamonster]

One of the few times where everyone there was happy and proud for award winner

[mmomj]

So happy for him! And so glad he thanked his group of friends who auditioned with him, that's a life lesson right there, never forget the ones you started from nothing with! Hopefully the oscar next!!
