Daniel Kaluuya narrates first trailer for EA Sports FC 24

It’s a new era for the hugely popular video game franchise

Academy Award-winning actor, producer and writer Daniel Kaluuya is the voice of the first trailer for EA Sports FC 24, the successor to the hugely popular FIFA video game series.

After a 30-year partnership, EA Sports and FIFA announced that last year’s FIFA 23 would be the final game that uses the global governing body’s name.

The new era is set to begin this fall with FC 24, starting with Monday’s release of the trailer and the Ultimate Edition cover.

Both the trailer and the cover feature stars of the game’s past and present, including Pele, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham, Sam Kerr, Marta, and USWNT stars Mia Hamm and Trinity Rodman.

Further details about FC 24 will be unveiled on Thursday in an official livestream event, which will feature the first look at gameplay, keynote speakers, and the reveal of the Standard Edition global cover athlete. The event can be found HERE.

The release date for FC 24 has not yet been confirmed, but the game is expected to be available sometime in late September.

Daniel Kaluuya’s mom and her awkward reaction to his Oscars speech became an instant meme

Here’s the meme of the night.

Daniel Kaluuya’s Oscars speech after winning Best Supporting Actor for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah had quite a surprising moment.

After delivering an emotional, awesome speech that touched on so many topics, from the thank yous to the “power of unity” and “there’s so much work to do,” he pivoted to celebrating life.

“Like, it’s incredible, my mom met my dad, they had sex,” he said, with his mom RIGHT THERE. “It’s amazing!”

His mom’s reaction was caught on camera, and although we didn’t hear what she said, the look on her face said it all, which seemed to include a “Wait, what did he just say?” moment.

Actually, someone read lips (see below) and she might have said, “What is he talking about?”

Of course, it became a meme.

Here’s the speech:

He then had this to say to reporters:
