The 31-year-old, who won the best supporting actress Academy Award in March for her role in historical drama "12 Years a Slave," was not present to receive her award.
She became the first winner of the newly introduced lifestyle non-music personality of the year award.
In doing so she beat Nigerian award-winning novelist Chimamanda Adichie, South African top stand-up comedian Trevor Noah and Ivory Coast footballer Yaya Toure.
The MTV African Music Award celebrates pan African music, youth culture and talent, and winners are chosen by public vote.
