She won multiple accolades for 12 Years, including best supporting actress at the 19th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards.

The actress delivers an emotional performance with her portrayal of Patsey.

12 Years A Slave chronicles the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, right).

There is something about acting that's mysterious and magical, because there is only so much I can do to prepare, and then I have to just let go and breathe and believe that it will come through, Nyong'o said.

In the film, Nyongo's character is a young slave who has a volatile relationship with her erratic slave master.

Nyong'o poses after her win at the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards as best female actor in a supporting role award on January 18.

Nyong'o attends the 14th annual AFI Awards Luncheon in Beverly Hills, California, on January 10.

In praising me, I feel like (Patsey's) spirit is being uplifted, Nyong'o said, because what I met in those pages of Solomon Northup's book was heartbreaking.

Breaks were crucial on the set. Having those moments of lightness and separation from the work we were doing on set was very important, Nyong'o said.

12 Years A Slave has been hailed by many as one of the best movies of the year.
