Michael B. Jordan didn’t just win Best Actor for his powerhouse dual role in Sinners he took the stage and gave flowers to the legends who blazed the trail before him: Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker, and Will Smith.
In his heartfelt speech: “I stand here because of the people that came before me: Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker, Will Smith… To be amongst those giants, amongst those greats, amongst my ancestors, amongst my guys.”
Humble, grateful, and powerful now joining them as the sixth Black man to win Best Actor. This is Black excellence on full display, lifting up the past while owning the future. Respect forever. 👏🔥
