Actor Michael B. Jordan won the Academy Award for best actor at the 98th Academy Awards, beating out Timothée Chalamet.
On the morning of the 16th (Korean time) at the 98th Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, U.S., the best actor trophy was taken by Michael B. Jordan for the film "Cinners: Sinners." This is his first Academy Award trophy, making it even more meaningful.
The film "Cinners: Sinners" is a supernatural horror thriller set in the Jim Crow-era American South of the 1930s, and Michael B. Jordan received strong praise for playing identical twins, performing two roles.
The nominees for best actor this year included Ethan Hawke for "Blue Moon," Wagner Moura for "Secret Agent," Timothée Chalamet for "Marty Supreme," Michael B. Jordan for "Cinners: Sinners," and Leonardo S.p.A. DiCaprio for "One Battle After Another," with Michael B. Jordan taking the prize.
In particular, with this result, Timothée Chalamet of "Marty Supreme" lost the best actor award. He had been cited as a strong contender, but recently became the center of controversy over remarks denigrating ballet and opera.
He said, "I don't want to work in an atmosphere like ballet or opera where 'no one cares anymore but we keep it going,'" and received criticism. Whether he would comment on the results drew attention, but in the end he did not even get that opportunity.
