US actor Michael B. Jordan surprised many by winning the best actor award at the Actor Awards, previously known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, for his role in the vampire horror film “Sinners.” The film also won the top prize for best ensemble cast. Jordan expressed his gratitude and surprise during his acceptance speech, while his co-star Delroy Lindo highlighted the dedication and emotional investment of the cast. This win comes shortly after the Bafta Film Awards, where Jordan and Lindo were commended for their composure following an incident involving a racial slur. Other notable winners included Sean Penn, Jessie Buckley, Amy Madigan, and a posthumous award for Catherine O’Hara. Jordan paid tribute to his mother for her support throughout his career and thanked the film’s director and cast. The awards ceremony took place shortly after the Baftas, with Lindo acknowledging the support received following the previous week’s incident. Catherine O’Hara was honored posthumously for her role in “The Studio,” with the show’s creator, Seth Rogen, accepting the award on her behalf.
