"At this point, we are being given every indication by the voting bodies with actual Academy overlap that there is a desire to award at least one of the actors from 'Sinners.' The question is who? Taking it all the way back to Oscar nominations in January, part of what helped 'Sinners' become the most nominated film of all time was the surprise Best Supporting Actor nomination for Delroy Lindo, who had not been recognized by any of the other major precursors."
"While 'One Battle After Another' winning at the PGA Awards was no surprise, and ultimately 'Sinners' winning Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the Actor Awards was too, the big win of the weekend that has been throwing everyone for a loop is Michael B. Jordan receiving the Actor Award for Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role for his performance at the Smokestack Twins in 'Sinners.'"
The 2025 Oscars season has produced unexpected results, particularly surrounding the film 'Sinners,' which became the most nominated film of all time. Michael B. Jordan's recent Actor Award victory for Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role has surprised industry observers and shifted predictions. While 'One Battle After Another' won at the PGA Awards and 'Sinners' won Outstanding Performance by a Cast, Jordan's individual win indicates voting bodies with Academy overlap desire to recognize the film's actors. Delroy Lindo, who received a surprise Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination despite lacking major precursor recognition, is campaigning aggressively late in the season and demonstrated momentum by delivering the final speech at the Actor Awards ceremony.
