She won a TV BAFTA as Best Supporting Actress for her role as Damilola Taylor's mother Gloria in Damilola, Our Loved Boy, and has appeared in blockbusters Deadpool & Wolverine and Batman vs Superman.
The actress was born in Zaria, Nigeria to parents who are both professors, but she now lives in Los Angeles and is expecting her second child.
'It's just been the best feeling ever because we really loved this film,' said Mosaku, who has previously won a Bafta TV Award for her role as Gloria Taylor in the TV film Damilola, Our Loved Boy.
Of Sinners she said: 'We really poured everything we had into it, and so the audiences showing up and showing so much love for the film last year was so overwhelming and so affirming.
Earlier in the evening the trip took to the red carrot
'Now to have these nominations come in, it's just been the cherry on top.'
Wumni then broke down into tears in the Winners Press Conference room upon finding out Sinners' director and writer, Ryan Coogler, won the BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay.
She said: 'Ryan credits everyone who's ever poured into him. He doesn't have an ego. And he says, ''I couldn't have done it without you. You couldn't have done it without the audience. You couldn't have done it without the crew, catering, like everyone.''
'He lets everyone know on the set that they are so important and we can't do it without them. So yeah, that's what makes Ryan so special, because it's true we, none of we all are standing on the shoulders of giants, and even if you feel small, you're still a giant in someone's world.
