Los Angeles :Actress Lupita Nyong`o says winning Oscar for her debut film was so overwhelming that she could not even sleep at the night.
The 31-year-old actress won the best supporting actress Oscar for her role in `12 Years a Slave`.
"It hasn`t set in. I haven`t even slept! It is overwhelming, but at the same time, this is the thing I dreamt for, it`s the thing that I availed myself for. I`m just trying to allow myself to absorb it all," Lupita said.
The actress was possessive about the golden statuette.
"The first half of the night I was being very, very selfish. I wouldn`t let anyone even take a picture with it. No one was holding it. But then, it`s really heavy," she said.
