Former American footballer Matthew A. Cherry won the Academy Oscar Award for his animated short film 'Hair Love' on Sunday night. He has directed the film. Matthew has become the second athlete to receive this award. Earlier, the late American basketball player Kobe Bryant won the Academy Award in 2018.
