Malek, who won for his role as late rock legend Freddie Mercury in biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” highlighted his being born to immigrant parents in his acceptance speech — only fitting as the Oscars have been under fire for its lack of diversity.</p>
<p>
“We’re longing for stories like this. I am the son of immigrants from Egypt… My story is being written right now,” said the 37-year-old actor, before thanking everyone who believed in him.</p>
<p>
An Egyptian journalist noted how the win “means a lot to immigrants,” adding how Malek has always spoken about “his pride of his Egyptian origins."</p>
<p>
“Rami has previously spoken about his pride of this Egyptian origins, and tonight he will give both of his nations, US and Egypt, a victory that means a lot for immigrants,” Wajd Bouabdallah said.</p>
