Michael B. Jordan shook up Oscar season as he took home the Actor Award for best male performance in a leading role. He won the statue for playing twin brothers Smoke and Stack in the supernatural thriller “Sinners.”
Jordan was a dual winner at Sunday’s ceremony, later returning to the stage for best performance by a cast in a motion picture. This is Jordan’s second victory in the ensemble category at the Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, following 2019’s “Black Panther.”
While accepting his award, Jordan reminisced on wanting to earn a SAG card as a young actor.
“Sinners” is the fifth collaboration between Jordan and director Ryan Coogler following “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed” and two “Black Panther” movies.
Jordan pulls off double duty in the 1930s-set “Sinners,” playing identical twins Smoke and Stack who return home to the South after World War I and open a juke joint… only for vampires to descend on the small town.
The film, which earned a record 16 nominations at the Oscars, was up for five prizes at the Actor Awards. In addition to awards glory, “Sinners” has been a box office hit with $369 million globally.
