Michael B. Jordan Makes History by Winning Best Lead Actor for ‘Sinners'

Best Actor in a Leading Role is one of the most historic and prestigious awards in the history of Hollywood. There have been some big wins in the last few years, such as Cillian Murphy finally winning for his commanding performance in Oppenheimer, and his Peaky Blinders co-star Adrien Brody winning the year after for his work in The Brutalist. Brody also had one of the most unexpected wins over 20 years prior for his performance in The Pianist. Other shocking wins include Rami Malekin 2019 for Bohemian Rhapsody, which some critics and experts predicted, but manyfelt that Bradley Cooper should have won for his performance in A Star is Born. All these years later, Cooper is still without a win, despite his 12 nominations.
