Jordan took home the trophy, defeating a field of amazing actors, including Timothée Chalamet Marty Supremefor leonardo dicaprio one fight after anotherfor ethan hawke blue moon, And for Wagner Moura secret agent. At various points throughout awards season, Chalamet, DiCaprio, and Maura were all considered potential front runners, but in recent weeks, Jordan has moved ahead, especially after winning an award from the Screen Actors Guild.
However, there are a few things about this win that are extra exciting. First and foremost, Jordan is so incredible. In sinnersOf course, but throughout his amazing career. We’ve already mentioned his early roles in classic shows like Tthat wire And Friday night LightsBut he has also been amazing at many other things, such as creed Trilogy, black panther moviesFruitvale Station, Just Mercy, And Chronicle. He’s amazing, especially when he works with Ryan Coogler.
Secondly, horror films rarely get this kind of universal recognition. you have to go back the silence of the Lambs To find a film that is even remotely scary and can win such major awards is amazing. That was 35 years ago. (fantasy and science-fiction often fare better.) Additionally, films in which an actor plays more than one role almost never receive recognition. It’s almost as if the Academy sees an actor playing two or more roles and doesn’t consider it appropriate. So, we love that Jordan won an award for playing these brothers.
sinners came into Oscar Sunday with the most nominations ever for a film, but you have to think it was one of the few that the team behind it pegged as the most important.
