MANSFIELD - A film made partly at the Ohio State Reformatory won two Oscars Sunday night, one for Daniel Kaluuya for best supporting actor and one for best song.

The bulk of the film, "Judas and the Black Messiah," was made in Cleveland and filmed a few days in November 2019 at the Mansfield prison that was the backdrop for the hit movie "The Shawshank Redemption."
