Michael B. Jordan achieved a major win for his role in Sinners, taking home the Best Actor award at this year’s Academy Awards. In his acceptance speech, Jordan expressed gratitude, saying, “God is good,” and shared that his father had traveled from Ghana to attend. He also praised director Ryan Coogler, calling him an amazing person and a friend, and thanking him for the opportunity to shine in the film. He affectionately told Coogler, “I love you, too, bro, love you to death.”

He also honored the other Black actors who had previously won Oscars, mentioning Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, and Will Smith. He expressed gratitude for standing alongside such legends and those who paved the way for him. He then thanked everyone involved in his film, as well as viewers who supported Sinners, saying, “You made this movie what it is,” and expressing his love and appreciation for their repeated viewings.

Michael B. Jordan made history as only the sixth Black man to win the Best Actor Oscar, and his journey to get there was challenging. He received his first nomination for Sinners after years of critically acclaimed performances in films like Fruitvale Station, Black Panther, and Creed went unrecognized by the Academy. Throughout awards season, many experts didn’t predict he would win, despite being considered a likely nominee. He faced tough competition, losing at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and BAFTAs. However, a win at the Actor Awards significantly boosted his chances and ultimately led to his Oscar victory.
