Michael B. Jordan as the Smokestack Twins in an early scene from Sinners (2025)
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 Malek in 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. The Best Actor in a Leading Role nominees this year include a stacked list of performances, as per usual. Michael B. Jordan has been nominated for his dual performances as Smoke and Stack in Sinners, the vampire horror thriller from Ryan Coogler, along with Timothée Chalamet, who earned a nod for his work in Marty Supreme, the A24-backed ping pong biopic directed by Josh Safdie. Leonardo DiCaprio has also earned yet another nomination for his unforgettable performance in One Battle After Another, the latest masterpiece from Paul Thomas Anderson, and Ethan Hawke has been awarded recognition for his performance in Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon. Lastly, Wagner Moura earned his first, well-deserved nomination for starring in The Secret Agent. To the surprise of many fans, Michael B. Jordan has taken home the first Oscar of his career for his performance in Sinners, marking the latest in a long list of awards he’s won for the role.
